Vegetarians beware! I found this book from a search of 'vegetarian cookery' but in fact a lot of the recipes are meat-based. It does look like an interesting book for those who eat meat and want to make their vegetables complement their meals, but the book is no use to me. I'm sending it back.

This book surpassed my expectations. I had the sweet potato and goat's cheese recipe at a friend's place and was so impressed, I immediately bought it. Every recipe has been absolutely mouthwateringly delicious!
My feelings exactly the same as the previous reviewer - I have been a fan of Rose Elliot for many years and eagerly awaited this book, only to discover that it is identical to Veggie Chic which I already own, and nowhere in the Amazon description or on the photos of the cover is there any warning that you are buying exactly the same product just in a different cover. I completely understand reprinting books and giving them new covers and so on, but I feel cheated that the author has allowed to sell this book as something new by actually changing the title and misleading people into thinking that this is a new collection of recipes without any warning to those that have her previous book already. Very disappointing really.

This is a brilliant low-carb cookbook - delicious recipes, full of variety and imagination, and also really nicely designed. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

I'm not even a vegetarian, and I love this book. There are many of Lemlin's dishes that are special enough for entertaining, and, as promised, they really are quick to fix. She doesn't fall into the exotic ingredient trap, either - one trip to the supermarket will do ya. I usually check cookbooks out from the library before I purchase them, and this one passed the test!

I debated carefully about ordering this book because I am a complete sucker for photographs, but having just taken delivery of it I am delighted to find that the author has preceded each recipe with her own illustrative introduction which in some cases almost provide you with a taste of the dish! For example on the recipe for "Chickpeas with Parsley-Tahini Sauce" she notes:
"... This addictive appetizer - rather like an un-mashed hummus - is terrific with pita bread, crackers, or served in butter lettuce or radicchio leaves. Ready in just about five minutes using canned chickpeas, you simply can't beat its convenience when unexpected guests drop by. ...."
