Quick Delicious Recipes Oct 16, 2004
By Alicia
I'm not much of a cook, so I love the breakdown for prep time and cook time. This gives me a relistic idea of how long a recipe takes from begining to end (the provided times are actually acurate). There are many "fast" recipes located in boxes throughout the book. Every single recipe that I have made has been delicious. My current favorites are Potato Gnocchi w/tomato sauce and Tex Mex Chilli beans, both of these take less than half an hour when using canned stewed tomatoes and pre-packaged gnocchi. If you have an entire afternoon to cook, the Minestrone soup is amazing. Even my non-vegetable eating boyfriend likes it. There are beautiful pictures on every page, and fyi food tidbits and techniques in the margins. Each recipe is rated in difficulty from one to three stars. Most recipes are one star(easy), perfect for me! I am not a vegetarian, but I like to alternate healthy vegetarian meals with meat based meals. This cookbook makes eating vegetarian simple and delicious!

 Colorful cookbook with great recipes Oct 15, 2003
I recommend this book for vegetarians and non-vegetarians who enjoy expanding their meal variety. The book has everything from quick dishes for the busy week nights to elegant appetizers for entertaining. The pictures of the dishes are colorful and mouthwatering.

great cookbook for all food lovers Jan 10, 2007
By bookloverFLA
wonderful recipes with touches of many countries cuisines. I loved the photos accompanying the recipes, really inspirational. you really get a lot for your money with this book. as always I checked it out of the library and then wanted it to stay in my home so I bought it.
I found the recipes not difficult but not so simplistic that the food was one dimensional. Easy to whip up dinner in a small amount of time with ingredients on hand.

Not one Disappointing recipe Feb 15, 2011
By Stretch
I have been cooking from the Essential Asian Cookbook for ever and love it and recently found they have a series! The Vegetarian Cookbook has been excellent! Great for vegetarians and non vegetarians wanting variety in their vege cooking! Easy to follow and I've never had a disappointing recipe! I love the Essential Cookbook range!
extraordinarily beautiful book Feb 03, 2011
By Joslyn
I believe this book would appeal to even the staunchest carnivore, if only for the beauty of the photography on every single page. I am not vegetarian, but purchased it after the "Look Inside!" pages revealed how helpful it would be for identifying and trying out new recipes and unknown foods. In reality, it surpassed my expectations from those pages.
It is a large book, with quality paper and binding. Contents are very well organized, and chock-full of helpful tips, and nutritional info. I can hardly imagine how it could be improved on.
