Customer Reviews

Love this book!

This is my favorite cookbook hands down! I love that every recipe has a gorgeous picture and every one that I've tried has been really tasty. I've been a vegetarian for 17 years and sometimes it seems like it's hard to innovate on the same ingredients but this book has some really great and different flavors. All recipes are fairly easy to make, and every one has been delicious, I absolutely recommend it.

Great innovative recipes

I used to be a vegetarian, and still love eating veggie options of meals. This cookbook has many new ways of approaching the old "classics" of vegetarian cooking. I'll admit I just got it, but I am so excited about trying a lot of these recipes (I've already done two or three) Great option for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

veggie cook book

a good small-ish cookbook with many pictures that inspire you to make every single dish in the book. a good size for stashing away somewhere or taking it with you to a friend's house. has a clean elegant look with solid recipes that don't require unrealistic ingredients. overall a good buy.

Vegetable Lovers and Vegetarians Rejoice!

Finally, a great vegetarian cookbook with three key elements: easy recipes, short ingredient lists, and gorgeous photos! On top of that, these are unique recipes without too exotic ingredients. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of world cuisines, both eating and cooking them. But this cute little book is great for whipping up weekly lunches and dinners without much fuss. With nearly 400 pages of recipes and photos and lots and lots of simple vegetable dishes, it's a sure fire winner for anyone who likes to cook and eat vegetables and vegetarian fare.
