The Best Ever Vegetarian Cookbook

by Linda Fraser

Vegetarian cuisine is widely recognized as innovative, exciting and appetizing as well as healthy. With the increasing interest in healthier eating, as well as ethical concerns about animals products, more and more people are discovering that there is life after meat. In grocery stores and greenmarkets everywhere the selection of fresh fruits and vegetables has never been so impressive. This book assembles over 200 of the world's best vegetarian dishes from all over the world to celebrate the diversity of choice in a vegetarian diet. Divided into seven sections: Soups, Appetizers, Salads, Side Dishes, Light Lunches, Suppers and Special Occasions, the book explores the various tastes and textures of vegetarian cuisines. From old-fashioned hearty soups such as Wild Mushroom or Classic French Onion to the more exotic Mushroom Caviar, Grilled Vegetable Terrine, Gado Gado or Rice Noodles with Chili Vegetable Sauce, this book takes the vegetarian cook through every preparation stage to the delicious final result. All of the recipes are illustrated with over 800 clear photographs illustrating each step to finished dish to guarantee perfect and delicious results each time. There is also a comprehensive introduction with suggestions for stocking the pantry, advice on buying and storing dry goods and fresh produce and recommendations for essential equipment.

A solid resource for vegetarians as well as those wishing to include more vegetarian meals in their diets. The recipes are straight forward and fairly easy to make, but still result in scrumptious food.

A well-stocked cookbook for all different types of meals. As with all cookbooks, there are quite a few recipes that I would definitely not like, but I did find a lot that I wrote down for future use. A nice compilation of vegetarian food. It helps me realize how many things I can make as a vegetarian.

This is my go-to book in the kitchen. It has everything you could ever think of when it comes to a vegetarian diet - from the nutrients found in all the different veggies to easy starter recipes to complex entrees and desserts you could use when entertaining.

A few recipes do not appeal to me, but the ones I have made (and I have made quite a bit from this book) were so yummy! Even if one isn't a vegetarian, these recipes are for the most part healthy and very delicious.

I loved this book lots of pictures and great tasting new ideas. (I am not a vegetarian but I do like vegetarian meals when they are cooked right and this book dose a really good job with what I like!)

This book offers such a wide variety of vegetables to use in simple yet well spiced forms that it has been a go to reference when I'm brain locked. I use most of the dishes as accompanying dishes for carnivore meals
