I have been a vegetarian for over 10 years now. I have several giant cookbooks with 1000's of recipes. However, I turn to this cookbook again and again and again. I never grow tired of the recipes and often find new things I haven't tried, even though I've owned it for 5 or more years. There are simple recipes for lite meals up to elaborate items for holiday dinners. Something for everyone. Anyone who is a vegetarian NEEDS to own this book!

A very well thought out and intriguing set of options for vegetarians who are tired of steamed vegetables and tofu. My only criticism is that the book is too short!

While there are numerous good recipe books for vegetarian and vegan meals, the same cannot be said for Christmas recipes. That is why I was pleased when I came across Rose Elliot's book Vegetarian Christmas. Originally published in 1992, this informative book was published again in 2000.
In Vegetarian Christmas Elliot has compiled an impressive selection of foods that you will want to make and eat during the festive season – everything from vegetarian Christmas pudding, mincemeat and Christmas couscous to mulled wine and cinnamon shortbreads. While many of Elliot's recipes contain dairy products and eggs, she also includes numerous recipes for vegans – and most of the vegetarian recipes could easily be modified ... Read More:

This is my favorite vegetarian cookbook, and I have several. There is a photo of each finished recipe, the instructions are precise and clear, the recipes are mostly easy and the ingredient lists are simple and accessible at any major food market. None of those specialty ingredients that you find in other books.
Also, many recipes use shortcuts like canned and frozen ingredients, which makes it possible to keep them on hand and reduces prep time. With the addition of a few fresh ingredients, you can be ready to go. Each recipe has a helpful tip, shortcut or serving suggestion, which comes in handy.
This one is a must for anyone who wants to try vegetarian cooking.

I own several books in the Cooking Light series, and normally just remove the meat ingredients or substitute with pasta, rice, or TVP. I thought this one would be a great addition. WRONG. This cookbook is obviously catered to the "occasional" vegetarian. Several recipes call for vegetable OR chicken broth, and a few of them have Worcestershire listed as an ingredient. Anyone who cooks truly vegetarian would know that Worcestershire has anchovies in it and is thus NOT a vegetarian ingredient. All of the recipes rely heavily on dairy and eggs. No vegan options. I'm very, very disappointed in this cookbook.

I have owned this book for several years and I have repeatedly attempted to cook from it. Unfortunately, I have never gotten around to it! Although it may be true that the recipes offered are actually great tasting and easy to make and hence deserve a higher rating, the design of this book has a vital flaw that consistently leads me to frustration: There is no index of ingredients. For many cooks this may be a minor annoyance or even no bother at all - for me it renders this book virtually worthless since I generally have a hankering for something (lets say potatoes) and then like to look in the index to see which recipes contain potatoes.
Although the book does have an index that lists all the soups contained within its pages by their ... Read More:
