Format:Paperback
I have owned this book for a month now and have made 15 of the main course meals - all delicious. What I like most is the variety of the recipes - in the past I have found vegetarian cookbooks to contain several recipes for similar dishes - but everything I have made so far from this one is very different.
My favourites so far... polenta-stuffed peppers (3 WW points each), layered vegetable terrine (6 WW points for a substantial serving), spinach pie - spinach and Feta in filo pastry (5 WW points per serving). I have served all these to visitors and don't think anyone guessed they were eating "Weight Watchers"!
The methods are clearly described and all the quantities work. It is an American book so quantities are given in American "cups" and pounds and ounces - you will need a set of measuring cups and non-metric scales.
All the recipes give nutrition information as well as Weight Watchers points - calories, fat, sat fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, dietary fibre, protein and calcium, so the book would be useful for people following other types of diet.
The only downside - the book contains recipes for savoury meals, side dishes and snacks - no puddings!

Format:Hardcover
We've prepared numerous recipes from this book, and each continues to astonish and delight. Although the collection dabbles in diverse ethnic cuisine, almost all recipes use readily available ingredients. Having been a life-time vegetarian (and my girlrfiend a budding one), we're always wary of bland, lifeless, health-conscious bird-food...but these recipes demostrate that taste and variety in cuisine aren't just for carnivores. Our favorites are the Spanish Tortilla, Pear-Walnut Salad and the Polenta Stuffed Peppers.
Photographs are not provided for all recipes, but that's a minor gripe in what's generally an excellent book !

Having been vegetarian for several years, my husband and I luckily stumbled across this book at the library (and subsequently bought our own copy). We have liked everything we've cooked from this book, especially the Penne with Green Beans and Herbs (which my uncle, a meat-eating caterer, LOVED) and the Spinach Pie. Hardly a week goes by when we don't make a recipe from this book. The recipes are simple, easy to follow, and use readily available ingredients (a MAJOR plus since many veg and weight-loss cookbooks require lots of hard-to-find items). The nutrition and exchange information is also very valuable.

In spite of good intentions,I've never used this book because it requires measuring in the American cup system. Read more

After all the good reviews, I has hoping for much better. The book has two major downsides, 1) There are no illustrations or pictures, vital in a cook book and 2) The book is in... Read more
