This book contains recipes for busy people who have little time to spend in the kitchen, these recipes are delicious, versatile, and above all, quick and easy to prepare.
With all the top celeb chefs going veg now from Ottolenghi through to the hairy bikers this seems pretty out of date and bland. Good introduction to the important for health to be vegetarian or at least reduce meat intake.
"Who is Vimala Rodgers? (Do we care?) In the world of academia, Vimala is an educator handwriting expert, and the published author of two highly regarded books on handwriting....... Vimala is a sought-after motivational speaker, in her professional life, she is the mother of many and a dynamic cook?" And then she makes this assumption: "Most of us know how carrots, lettuce, kale, potatoes and spinach grow since many of us have planted, tended, and harvested our own gardens." Really?
Not one of the photographs looked appetizing in any way, they all had a yellow or orange tint to them, the dishes did not look professionally cooked or presented. The Gazpacho looked like diced cucumbers in tomato flavored water; the Asian peanut salad looked bland and boring, the Avacado cups looked like guacamole mixed w pico de gallo and some leafy green stuff, the Thai noodle salad looked like a bowl of cut up spaghetti w/ tomatoes & green stuff, and theTofu dip looked like cat hork.
Don't bother...don't waste you money ($17.95) buying this book, don't waste your time trying to get it from the library.
This book was interesting. I'm a culinary student and I recently had a lab where my chef is vegan. I wanted to look up some of the basic vegan recipes that feature some of the not-so-commong products that we had in the kitchen. I had never used many of them before so I needed a book that was basic and explained the different methods of use for each one. I really liked this book. It broke down the main ingredients and gave you different ways of using each in different dishes. It's a good book for a quick vegan meal.
Fairly decent vegan cookbook. I have made Chinese Spaghetti, Split Pea Daal, and Killer Granola numerous times. All the other recipes haven't been very compelling...
