Format:Paperback
When people talk about 'fast food' and 'easy vegetarian recipes', my heart sinks. So often this means bland and joyless food. Not so with Nadine Abensur! This book is definitely easy, yet never bland, and often exotic.
I was given this book for Christmas, and am really enjoying it. I already have the Cranks Bible, and was relieved to find that none of the recipes are duplicated here.
The recipes really are very quick and easy to make. Many of them use things that you would already have in your kitchen - for example there is a surprisingly tasty soup made from frozen peas, a very easy recipe for spanakopita, etc. For a novice cook (like me!) it is very encouraging to have such delicious results from so little effort. The recipes are much more simple than those in the Cranks Bible, and Abensur doesn't expect me to make pastry from scratch - the book is very accepting of the fact that ready-made pastry or pasta is the more realistic option.
My only complaint would be that although the recipes are quick to make, some of them call for a range of ingredients that would take hours to shop for. Unless you live in a big metropolitan city like London, this really slows things down. That said, this is only the case with a few of the recipes in the book, and they do look awfully good and are probably worth it.
Abensur's style is very readable - often she give hints in the recipe which would give you ideas for adapting it in new ways. This is really a cook's book - but for people who are just starting. I love it.

I really liked this book. It uses a good variety of foods, especially pulses. It does use a few key ingredients fairly regularly but I found this a good thing, since you can make sure you have them in the house and then you can cook a lot of different things in the book. The recipes are simple and easy to follow and are do-able in the 15-20 mins the author allows. Good pictures too. And you can adapt them pretty easily if you are trying to follow a lower fat diet. The chickpea and halloumi salad, by the way, is the best!

Nadine has done it again! What a great selection of lovely food - all of which can be cooked in under 30 mins. Great for a working mum like me. Can't wait for the next release.

I love this book!
I can't say enough good things about this book. I was surprised by the comment about pasta dishes as only 1 out of the 10 chapters in this relates to pasta. Read more
