Simply Vegetarian! : Easy-To-Prepare Recipes for the Vegetarian Gourmet

Summary: An excellent choice for the non-extravagant vegetarian cook!
Review: This book has a variety of recipes that are easy to prepare and use relatively common ingredients. Many vegetarian recipes require exotic ingredients, but most of the recipes in this book use ordinary ingredients, herbs, and spices. Many of the recipes are unusual but all that I've tried have been declicious. The only problem with this paperback edition is that it's very difficult to keep open on the counter while preparing a meal---I have to weight down the pages to use it.

Summary: This Book is Underrated
Review: This is my favorite vegetarian cookbook. The recipes are incredibly easy, and they are hearty and satisfying enough for a very cold climate. Plus, you can make them in great big quantities if you like, sometimes all in one pot, so that you can spend less time cooking and more time... EATING! And the recipies are definitely worth relishing. This book has the best nut loaf recipe ever. The one drawback is that it's in the 1970s tradition of vegetarian cooking,which includes alot of dairy and eggs. Some of the recipes are vegan, and those are very tasty and hearty and warming, but in general this is probably not the best book for vegans. I'm noticing that I'm seeing it less & less in bookstores, and I hope they don't quit printing it, because it's great!

Summary: My most used cookbook
Review: We are vegetarian and this is my most used cookbook. It is simple to use and well laid out, and the recipes can be made easily for non-vegetarian guests without them feeling like you are preparing something weird or compromised for them. Some recipes are family stand-bys and we use them again and again. It's as the title says: "Easy to Prepare Recipes for the Vegerarian Gourmet".
