Summary: Lots Of Yummy Recipes
Review: I have the previous edition from 1997. It is great. The meals I've made are delicious. I like using TVP and making many of the meatless loaves in this book with TVP. For the price it's a good value because you get many recipes! You can easily adapt many of them to suit individual tastes. I don't like to use non-fat stuff, so I only use low-fat. I would recommend this book as well as the 1001 Low-Fat Recipes which also contain meat recipes.

Summary: The Best Vegetarian Cookbook
Review: I own about 20 vegetarian cookbooks and this is the best by far. Every recipe has tasted terrific. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and the preparation times given are accurate. All ingredients are readily found in your local supermarket or superstore. Some of the recipes we have tried are: Black Bean Soup with Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Cilantro Cream, Roasted Vegetables, Moo Shu Style, Holiday Sweet Potato Loaf with Apple Cranberry Relish, Sante Fe Beans, Grinder with New England Baked Beans & Roasted Potato Salad, Star Pasta with Carrots & Ginger Cream, Vietnamese Curried Coconut Soup, and Fresh Tomato and Basil Pizza. All have been delicious and low in fat. Also helpful is the Nutritional Information provided for each recipe as well as a marking to let you know if the dish is acceptable for lacto-ovo, vegan, lacto-, or ovo- vegetarians. This is a VERY large cookbook, but it contains enough enjoyable recipes to last a family for years.

Summary: you'll never run out of ideas!
Review: I suppose, like the reviewer above said, that this isn't a beginning vegetarians cookbook, in the sense that it does not guide you through what it means to be vegetarian etc, etc, BUT, I'd like to point out that nowhere on the book does it say that is what it is (there are books for that). I also will agree that yes, in SOME of the recipies there are strange ingredients: fat-free half and half, cactus paddles, flavored cooking sprays... but there are over 1,000 recipies! Of course they had to get creative! I think this cookbook is excellent, if you've been a vegetarian for awhile, and you like to cook, then this book is perfect for spicing up your everyday cuisine. The recipies are easy to follow, and so far (I've cooked a lot of dishes from this book) almost everything has been yummy. I'd like to add that if I can't find something I substitute. I use veggie bullion in place of stocks, and skim milk in place of fat free half and half, and I've never had any problems. The book has widened my scope on mixing vegetarian ingredients, enabling me to scan my pantry and whip up combinations I'd never thought of before. There is so much to chose from that you can keep it simple or get a little fancy! Highly recommended!

Summary: don't like cookbooks?
Review: I usually don't like to use cookbooks because they're usually too long or too complicated. As a struggling vegetarian, I thought I'd give this book a try. This delightful book is full of recipes that are simple and even allow for improvisation. If you only have one cookbook in your pantry, this is the one to have!

Summary: Mmmmm.
Review: I wouldn't consider myself a vegetarian, but Sue's recipies are great! Another good point is that most of the recipies are easy to prepare(and fast). Even if you aren't a vegetarian, I would recommend this book.

Summary: Yuck!
Review: I've been a vegan for about two months, and my meat-eating husband has liked everything I've made so far . . . with the exception of the few recipes from this cookbook I have tried. I have to say I wasn't impressed either. However, to the authors' credit, some of the quick breads and desserts look promising, though most would require some modifications to be made vegan.

Summary: Delicious and healthy
Review: If you want to lose weight _and_ be healthy, eating as much as you want (or can), try a vegetarian low-fat diet. The recipes in this book will help you a lot, because they are really delicious. Be sure to try: Pasta Fritatta, Leek and Onion Focaccia and "Rich" Chocolate Pudding.

Summary: Easy, low-fat, vegetarian - what more can you ask for?
Review: In the past I have had a difficult time finding vegetarian cookbooks that aren't full of fat on every page - seems like if you're a vegetarian, cookbook authors want to stuff you full of cheese. I have had great luck with this book - many recipies have become regulars on our dinner table. On top of all of this, the recipies are very delicious!

Summary: way too much dairy
Review: It seems as though the dairy organization has subsidized this book. Cannot understand why all this dairy in the recipes. It is just a vile book! I am very upset about having spend my hard earned money, on this !=@#%^&?
