Customer Reviews
From simple lentil soups to the sophisticated aigroissade salad, Rose Elliot's recipes offer something for whatever level of cooking experience you have and are a great introduction to vegetarian cooking. The layout is pleasing to the eye and cooking instructions are short and easy to understand. The recipes are enhanced by accompaniment suggestions and a short history of the dish, if it exists.
This is a cookbook which will expand your knowledge of pulses and move you beyond lentil stew. It gives an overview of the nutritional value of beans and pulses and introduces the reader to the wide range of beans and pulses which are available. Descriptions of the beans are given, colour and size, which will make it easier for those unfamiliar with them to spot when out shopping.
Favourite recipes of mine include creamy bean dip, spinach and lentil soup and beans in leek sauce. There are also recipes for staples of vegetarian diets, such as felafal, hummus and dal. Rose Elliot also takes some traditionally meat based dishes, such as lasagne, pastichio and cocido, and turns out vegetarian versions which are just as tasty and flavoursome as the originals.
I was estatic to find this book was available again. My only complaint? I think this newer version has fewer recipes than the original!
My original copy was falling to pieces so I've just bought this new edition -- and i still love it! The warmth and friendliness of the book are very encouraging and the recipes are lovely.
Any cook worth their salt can take a recipe that is sound and ponce it up to their personal tastes.
I bought Rose's book 25 years ago during an intense relationship with a vegetarian lady. I was already a pretty fair cook in the meat style, and I saw this as a challenge. Rose's recipes weren't hot/spicy enough for me, but her constructions are superlative. You want chili? Add some. If you are a rigid cookbook cook, the maybe you need The Woman's Weekly cookbook and not this one.
I still have the original paperback book I bought in Australia--used it tonight, in fact-- but the pages have begun to fall out from use. This wee book has been a mainstay on three continents for me, and now I'm forced to purchase a new one.
For you knockers out there I say.... learn to cook.
Cheers, John Irvine
