Book Description

Vegetarian Times December 22, 1996
Vegetarian Times Low-Fat and Fast

If you've been searching for a cookbook to help you put delicious meatless meals on the table in a hurry, then look no further. The editors of Vegetarian Times magazine, the leading authorities on the vegetarian lifestyle, have compiled this delicious collection of 150 recipes, all of which can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. In fact, many of the recipes are easy enough to complete in just 15 or 20 minutes.

Not just easy, all of the recipes in Vegetarian Times Low-Fat and Fast are low in fat, too. Of course, eating meatless meals is always healthful, but, as the Vegetarian Times editors explain, you still need to watch what you eat to stay fit and healthy. Light vegetarian cooking can be made simple by cutting back on eggs, using low-fat cheeses, sauteing with olive oil instead of butter, and trying healthy cooking techniques like grilling, broiling, roasting, and steaming, all of which bring out the best flavors in your food.

Whether you're a longtime vegetarian or vegan looking for some exciting new and easy recipes to try, or a "part-time" vegetarian just trying to eat meatless meals a few times a week for better health, this is the book for you. Vegetarian Times Low-Fat and Fast is a timesaving cookbook that will make anyone, even beginner cooks, feel at home in the kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, February 23, 2001
By 
This review is from: Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast: 150 Easy Meatless Recipes (Paperback)
This is an excellent cookbook for fast, low-fat vegetarian recipes. All of the recipes contain clear instructions and nutritional information per serving. Per serving, no recipe in the book is more than 10 grams of fat. Some of the recipes we have tried are: Quick Bean-and-Rice Burritos, Southwestern Vegetable Burritos, Fresh Noodles Lo Mein, Chinese Vegetables in Peanut Sauce, Sloppy Joes, Smoky White Bean Soup, Caramelized Onion and Fresh Vegetable Pizza, and Sesame Broccoli. All have been delicious. If you are looking for a quick, delicious, and basic vegetarian cookbook this book is for you. I would also recommend the other books in the Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast series as well as 1001 Low-Fat Recipes by Sue Spitler. You won't be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not necessarily all that "fast", January 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast: 150 Easy Meatless Recipes (Paperback)
This book has some good recipes however they aren't always fast. How can you prepare a meal quickly if you have to blanch tomatoes and wash and stem and chop 2 pounds of spinach? Some of the items in this book are fairly quick, and the rest could be modified to be much faster. But isn't that the job of the editors/authors? Most of these recipes have been culled from past issues of Vegetarian Times. This cookbook will be shelved until I have more time to cook! It was a disappointment. A really great cookbook for busy cooks is Vegetarian Express by Nava Atlas and Lillian Kate. They REALLY mean business !

4.0 out of 5 stars time-saving and delicious, August 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast: 150 Easy Meatless Recipes (Paperback)
Planning and cooking dinner has always been enjoyable for me.When I took a new, full-time job I wondered how I'd find the time tocook every night. This book is all about efficiency. The recipes in this book are fast, inexpensive, healthful and delicious. The smoky white bean soup, mexican pizza, and noodles lo mein have been particular favorites. Ingredient lists are short and contain mostly common items, making grocery shopping quicker and less expensive. But what I'm most amazed by is how truly fast these recipes are without sacrificing flavor. This book is a must-have for busy vegetarian cooks.
