Very good buy,
By
This review is from: The Low GI Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)
I find with many cook books that the recipes are fiddly and time consuming and usually demand a pinch of one ingredient and a splash of another, and before long you have a cupboard full of rare spices that you are never going to use again. This book however is simple to follow, contains ingredients that are generally easy to find in shops and ones that you are likely to use again.
The book gives ideas for breakfasts, lunches and snacks as well as main courses, and gives a real variety of dishes. I haven't cooked all of them yet, but they are all appealing and all things that you could happily feed to non-vegetarian guests or family members, as I have done to positive feedback! The only thing I thought was slightly odd is that one of the recipes calls for gelatine, but it's easy enough to steer clear of one recipe, there are plenty to choose from. All in all, there is something here for everyone. The meals are healthy, simple and tasty.

tries to do too many things,
By Maz Kraut (Northwest England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Low GI Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)
I bought this book hoping to find vegetarian recipes I could use for a low GI weight loss diet, but this is not what this book provides. It tries to be "healthy" in general, I think, so it emphasises vitamins and minerals, but also wholegrain cereals aplenty (which you would find only to a very limited amount in a low GI diet), whereas it advocates to use only minimal amounts of things like full fat cheeses or cream. Most recipes contain flour and starches; for instance as suitable breakfast it suggests porridge, banana, fried rice or baked beans on toast. None of the recipes provide any indication of their GI value. I get the impression that it uses "low GI" as another justification to say "We're healthy here", but for anyone wanting to get used to a low GI diet and abolish most forms or sugar and refined starches, this book would be more of a hindrance than a help!
Also, most photos of people in there are of them being sporty, which I find just a little annoying.

simple and delicious,
By jane (london) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Low GI Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)
I had borrowed this book from the library so many times I had to buy it. Some recipes don't sound interesting yet just taste fabulous, with the added factor of being entirely virtuous. I use this book at least once a week.
