This is the best vegetarian recipe book I have - I buy them and share them with all my vegetarian friends. The recipes are easy and delicious and have recipes for Asian, Italian, Indian and traditional American. There is also a calorie count for each so it helps you adapt to special diets.

You can be a vegetarian and still eat terribly unhealthy food. I bought this book with the hopes I could have a vegetarian meal without having to worry about the contents of the ingredients. So far it has delivered. All the recipes have been delicious and require a medium amount of preparation involved, all while trimming away unnecessary calories. The book uses a lot of different types of meat substitutes, so if you may have to do a bit of research once you purchase the book. I'm impressed and would encourage other blossoming vegetarians to try it out. Good luck!

My husband and I have been vegetarians for 10 years and I am always ont he lookout for new recipes. This is one of my favorite cookbooks. The recipes are good, but I also appreciate the thought that was put in to writing in. Eventually I will try his method of capturing wild yeast and making my own sour dough. In the meantime, it is nice to see a cookbook that provides this much detail.

What a fantastic book -- I'm finally able to master the cuisine I could formerly only dine on in restaurants, and this way I can control things like spiciness and amount of oil.
With the exception of some of the desserts (I don't know what milk fudge is or how I can whip up a vegan equivalent), I have not come across a single recipe that I was not able to make vegan. I was even able to enjoy saag paneer for the first time by using tofu in lieu of cheese. Ghee, milk, and cream can be replaced with vegetable oil or soy/rice milk.
Almost every recipe I've tried has been a winner. There are several that I've made again and again, such as the saag paneer, roti, the black-lentil dal, the Tanjore three-bean salad, and the ... Read More:

Last week I went through my cookbooks, to see if I could weed some out, because I have too many to mention. It's hard getting rid of a cookbook, especially one with a few recipes in it that you've come to love. But I've scanned the recipes I need to keep forever into my MacBook. However, there were an even dozen I couldn't part with. These are books I turn to time and time again, even though I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet chef.
DELICIOUS JAMAICA is one of the books I kept and to my way of thinking it's just about the best vegetarian cookbook out there. If you like exotic cooking and you've given up meat or just plain don't eat it, then this is the book for you. Veggies don't have to be bland, just try the "Callalu Run Down" on ... Read More:

Having to eat gluten free, grain free, and low carb for medical reasons, I find this book invaluable. It provides a wonderful grain free recipe for muffins made with almond meal and satisfies my longing for bread. (6g carb each, but with 14g protein.) I have adapted this recipe for pancakes as well, which turn out lacy - and mouthwatering, especially with low carb maple syrup and whipped cream. (Who says low carb is deprivation!) The batter keeps well in the fridge, so a little at a time can be used.
I also love the recipe for lemon custard macaroon tarts. As the book states, "dried coconut makes a perfect, sweet and crispy tart base." At only 1.5g carb each, these tarts are truly "legal" but satisfy the sweet tooth in a big way. Great ... Read More:

I have been a vegetarian for well over 28 years and as many vegetarian and vegan cookbooks as I have I always fall back on this old tried and true cookbook. It's a kid pleaser as well as a crowd pleaser. I highly recommend it.

I think most vegetarians will find this cookbook wanting for variety. It's basically just a "meatless" recipe book for time-challenged people, or for those who prefer the occasional meat-free meal. In fact, some of the recipes give suggestions on how to add meat to the dishes. It's not real vegetarian cuisine, so to speak.
Most of the soup recipes are boring and have interchangeable ingredient lists: substitute one type of bean/starchy veg for another and add broth. Practically all the recipes call for little or no salt and seasoning; they are quite bland and require taste adjustments. There are also no dessert recipes, which is a puzzler. I wonder if the people at Betty Crocker couldn't figure out how to make vegetarian desserts, or if they just ... Read More:

I ordered this book in May and was really looking forward to having it. Every month they postponed my order, and then told me they couldn't get it, which is too bad because I'd really like to have it. My question is, why is it still avalible for sale if they can't get it?
