Rating: - Patronising. Really patronising.
Overall, there's some passably decent recipes here, but it depends how you want them presented.
If you've just started out as a veggie and your family are not very sympathetic, a book with a tone like this is going to help make them regard you as the family freak. It might help them to find practical (if quite boring) ways of feeding you in the short term, but in the long run it will have your family 'putting up' with your so-called eccentric feeding habits like they'd put up with it if you were mildly mentally retarded.

Rating: - A great veggie cookbook
When I first moved into my own home many years ago, I was given How to Boil an Egg as a housewarming present more as a joke than anything else. However, I found that it was a great little book. When I gave up eating meat, I discovered that the same author had produced this little gem.
There are some great recipes and tips too, and many are aimed at low portion numbers which is extremely handy as it's a rare time that you end up cooking veggie recipes for four or more (at least in my experience).
It is clear, concise and best of all the recipes are tasty. What more can you ask for?
Rating: - Fantastic Fodder!
A fantastic book! Full of ideas for meals whether you're vegetarian or not. Some of my favourite dishes are in here. I've had mine so long its fallen apart and I've had to get another!
Rating: - An essential book for new vegetarians
I first came across this book almost ten years ago and for a (then) newbie vegetarian, it was an absolute godsend. The recipes are in decent portions as opposed to other vegetarian cookbooks and are not too complicated to make. The book is also very reasonably priced too.
