Summary: You have to get this book.
Review: This book is GREAT! It is organized by vegetable. So, in the summer, when you have more fennel (or broccoli, or radiccio, or whatever) than you know what to do with, pick up this book. Also, the ingredient lists are short, so you won't be running to the store looking for some obscure ingredient. And, finally, everything can be made from prep to table, in about 30 minutes.

Summary: A fabulous cookbook to be used again & again!
Review: This is one of the very best cookbooks I have ever used! Out of 75+ cookbooks I own, this one gets used repeatedly. The sauces are delicious, and for the most part, very easy to prepare. The recipes are so simple to follow that I prepare most of the sauces from memory now, and it should take only 2 or 3 preparations before you can do these sauces by heart. With a few exceptions, the ingredients are all pretty commonplace. There is almost nothing in your garden that cannot be used in one of these sauces.This is just a great cookbook in all respects!

Summary: Not Like Other Vegetarian Books
Review: Unlike other vegetarian books, this book's recipes do not make use of obscure ingredients (such as miso or seaweed) nor compromise taste in pursuit of lowering fat or saving the planet. Pasta E Verdura's recipe organization (by vegetable type) makes it easy to match the weekly produce special to a tasty, simple-to-make dish. Thankfully, this book doesn't require excessive seasoning (another pitfall of other vegetarian books) either. The recipes in Pasta E Verdura need to be adjusted in one way, however: Each recipe (4 servings total) calls for one pound of pasta. Four ounces per person is DOUBLE the proper serving amount. Follow Bishop's recipes but always half the pasta amount; this simple adjustment makes the vegetable sauce proportionate to the pasta and ensures diners will not overeat.

Summary: a good cookbook for reasonable quality vegetarian meals
Review: We turn to this book more often than any other in our collection of twenty vegetarian cookbooks. Although not "express," the recipies can be prepared reasonably quickly. The descriptions are accurate and the instructions easy to follow. I would not classify the recipes as gourmet, though I would not hesitate to serve them to guests. Overall, we've been very happy with this cookbook.

Summary: P-ahhhh-sta
Review: What an epicurian delight! The recipes in this book are invariably delicious, and, on the whole, quick and easy to make. The type and tastes of the sauces vary widely so, even though I use it twice a week, we never feel we are eating repeats. Its been particularly nice because its helped us keep the lid on our cholesterol.

Summary: My new default cookbook
Review: When I'm tired and can't think of what to have for dinner, this is the book I now reach for most. Almost all of the recipes are quick and easy, and it's a great way to get your daily vegetables. I was so pleased with this book that I bought two others by Bishop. This is still the one I turn to first, though. My only gripe is that some of the recipes are on the bland side and some--gasp!--don't call for garlic. That's easy to fix, though. :]
