Rating:  Summary: The best Korean Vegetarian book that I have ever seen. Review: Being someone that loves Korean food. It is refreshing to see that creating a lot of the foods that I enjoy can be created so easily. Even if yours friends are not vegetarians, they will enjoy the recipes that can be either the main course or a side dish. This is by far the best Korean Vegetarian book that I have seen.
Rating:  Summary: No Vegeterian Kitchen Should be Without! Review: Flavors of Korea is a gem of a cookbook! As a vegetarian going through a bit of "menu bordom", I wanted to try Korean food to spice up my palette. I could not have made a better choice and for such a great price. Everything is explained in the book from buying Korean spices, to wonderful menus. The author has done a good job of keeping things simple for those of us who might be a bit intimidated.

Rating:  Summary: The best of both worlds Review: I grew up eating Korean food at least half the time. When I became a vegetarian, one of the sacrifices I made was most of my Korean food. Although I was able to make some dishes (like the spinach and bean sprout salads), it was difficult to feel like I was getting a complete meal.This cookbook allowed me to enjoy the flavors of my childhood. It's so nice to be able to flip through a Korean cookbook and know that I can cook everything in it (that's a luxury I think only vegetarians will understand!). All of the recipes I've tried so far are delicious- two thumbs way up!

Rating:  Summary: Terrific, thorough, and lots for Vegans in here too... Review: I grew up eating my mom's wonderful Korean food, and while it is certainly healthier than the usual American fare, going completely vegetarian while eating Korean seemed difficult. Although Korean side dishes and standards like bibimbop and daenjang chige are obvious vegetarian treats, many other dishes incorporate beef, pork, or chicken, although they are not the main focus of the meal. And then, of course, the wonderful barbecued meats were certainly hard to give up after becoming vegetarian.
But the wonderful thing about this cookbook is that it has narrowed down those selections of Korean foods that are truly vegetarian, without trying to replace or substitute for the original meat dishes. There are also a lot of wonderful vegan options, and calorie and nutritional information are included at the bottom of the recipe.
Most of the recipes are quick and easy. All in all, this book is the perfect addition to a vegetarian's library. It will nicely supplement other ethnic cookbooks and contains many meals which are easily prepared in a short amount of time. Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Great Vegetarian//Vegan Cookbook! Review: I love Korean food but I had found it very difficult to find a good Vegetarian Korean cookbook until I stumbled onto this terrific book. I found fun and easy to prepare vegetarian and many vegan recipes in this very unique book.
Rating:  Summary: This are very tasty and easy to prepare dishes Review: Not having a lot of time to prepare meals, I find that the receipes in this book are very easy to prepare and tasty. I use the book all the time. Great content and great for vegetarians that like to try other foods from other countries.
Rating:  Summary: No Vegeterian Kitchen Should be Without! Review: Simply delectable recipes! It was my first experience cooking Korean foods - What a treat!
Rating:  Summary: Good, simple...but limited Korean food Review: This is a good VEGETARIAN cookbook for those who want to cook meatless Korean food, but in my opinion, it is missing many delicious and meatless Korean dishes. The receipes are simple and easy (and they offer substitutes for certain Korean foods that might be hard to buy in the US.) Overall, good stuff, but you might want to also get a general Korean cookbook for more variety. You can always leave out the meat...
