THIS IS A WONDERFUL EASY TO FOLLOW COOKBOOK. THE AVERAGE PREP TIME IS 15-20 MINUTES. THE PRICE IS RIGHT AND WOULD BE A NICE GIFT FOR ANYONE.

Easy and accessible vegetarian meals, 7 Mar 2007
By Rachel Kendall - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vegetarian Recipes (Cooking for Today) (Hardcover)
This is my favorite vegetarian cookbook, and I have several. There is a photo of each finished recipe, the instructions are precise and clear, the recipes are mostly easy and the ingredient lists are simple and accessible at any major food market. None of those specialty ingredients that you find in other books.
Also, many recipes use shortcuts like canned and frozen ingredients, which makes it possible to keep them on hand and reduces prep time. With the addition of a few fresh ingredients, you can be ready to go. Each recipe has a helpful tip, shortcut or serving suggestion, which comes in handy.
This one is a must for anyone who wants to try vegetarian cooking.

No weird ingredients!, 29 Mar 2011

I LOVE this cookbook! I just got it from my local library's book sale it is seriously great. I've made 4 recipes from it and all were awesome - even for my non-vegetarian husband. Other than the occasional tofu recipe which is cool, none of the recipes call for weird meat substitutes (which I hate). Most just call for a variety of beans, which are easy to keep on hand in dry or canned forms. Lots of soups, lots of casserole-type things, and some useful variations (I never know what to have when I make the hubby tacos, and couscous with a bit of tofu is sort of ingenious as a taco stuffing). Full-color photos of all the recipes make it much easier to be inspired. I docked it a couple stars because occasionally it will call for something like "tamale sauce" that I would prefer it just tell me how to make from scratch (obv I can use pre-made stuff if I want to). Other than that, totally recommend!
