 Surprisingly Tasty! September 23, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I'm not a vegan, but I bought this book because I wanted to learn how to cook with vegetables and grains, instead of constantly adding butter and cheese to everything in order to make it taste great! I will say, the other reviews that rate this book are right. It's surprisingly tasty, and I'm learning how to use vegetables and grains in ways I have never thought of before. None of the recipes I've tried so far feel anything short of restaurant-yumminess.
If you're trying to diet, many of the recipes here are also lower-calorie, and provide the nutritional content on each recipe. I find that very helpful when I am trying to keep track of my calories, fat grams, carbs, protein, and sodium intake.
I would recommend this cookbook for anyone, not just vegans or vegetarians. It's delicious...honest!

I tried a few of the recipes, some were good, some weren't. There are no pictures to inspire you to try the recipes.
Easy and Delicious September 5, 2007
I love how easy and delicious the recipes are in this book. I was happy to find a vegan Mediterranean cookbook that focuses on simple flavors. It is always easy for me to find a recipe to make without having to grocery shop first!
Awesome no "meat replacers" Vegan Cookbook!!! July 24, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
I truly cannot say enough good things about this cookbook. It is the first vegan cookbook I've seen that doesn't use "meat replacements" in its recipes. These are true, natural flavors and textures as they were meant to be consumed, not pre-packaged artificially-created I-just-need-to-think-I'm-eating-meat textures. The recipes in this book are designed around the vegan lifestyle. There are no "veggie hotdogs" or "veggie burgers", yet every recipe I have made with this book has come out wonderful, tasty, and unique.
The recipes in this book, for the most part DO take a bit of work, but most recipes I have made are under 45 minutes, and I take my time when I cook, so I'm sure some stock-car-paced cooks could get them done in 30.
This is not like some other vegetarian cookbooks where you have breakfasts as only muesli, lunches as bland salads, entrees as grain-sauce concotions and desserts as fruit only. This is not to say that meat replacers and standard vegan cookbooks are not on my shelves and used daily, but rather sometimes I just crave CLEAN, substaintial, healthy food in my-goodness-why-didn't-I-think-of-that easy combinations.
All in all, this is one cookbook you cannot afford NOT to buy! You'd be missing out!!!
Love this book ... I'm not vegan or vegetarian .... July 12, 2007

I ran across this book a few years ago at the library (where I work). I've made the minestrone recipe for years now and it is my favorite ever. I finally decided that I needed to own this book... and I'm not vegan or veggie. It's a great way to boost vegetable intake while keeping things simple. I personally hate tofu and I love it that this book has no "substitute" foods like tofu in it. It's just the veggies speaking for themselves. Highly recommended for everyone who wants some good veggie recipes with ingredients you can find even at a small town supermarket. On a side note, it's perfect for folks who practice Lent (if you give up all animal foods) ... I think I recall reading that this is how some of the recipes were inspired.
