Everyday Vegetarian: A Delicious Guide for Creating More Than 150 Meatless Dishes

This vegetarian cookbook has gorgeous photos, very helpful nutritional information, and easy to follow recipes. There’s a useful pantry list as well as step by step with photos recipes (ex: page 25 “Making Vinaigrette”). The book is a sturdy paperback that stands easily so you can refer to it while cooking. The best part is that each recipe contains total “hands on” and cook times as well as very thorough nutritional content (serving size, calories, fats (sat., mono., & poly.), protein, carbs, fiber, sugars, cholesterol, iron, sodium, and calcium). While not all recipes are vegan (some have egg, goat cheese, etc.), they’re easy to sub with vegan ingredients. Recipe variations are offered, which is really appreciated. Also food storage facts and other helpful info is posted alongside many recipes. Many unique recipes, such as page 71. Griddled Banana, Mango, and Jalapeño Sandwiches, make this recipe book more interesting and useful than many others. The variety of recipes is awesome! There are 9 categories, over 150 recipes, and 352 pages of useful recipes, seasonal foods, and measurements. To quickly find a recipe, you can refer to the index at the end of the book. There’s something for everyone in this book, whether you’re vegetarian or just interested in eating more meatless and plant based meals. As this book is from the editors of Cooking Light, you can feel good about creating great tasting, healthy dishes for some or all of your meals, all year. Enjoy!

I bought this book because I had checked it out of my local library and was really impressed with it. I am not a vegetarian, but I am concerned with my health and with eating healthier. I decided I want to try to eat more meatless meals, and, believe me, this book is an excellent place to start. I have tried five or six different recipes so far, and only one of them let me down a little, and that probably because I didn't do it right. There are some ingredients which are probably not in your pantry, but I was able to find them at one of my local grocery chains. Whether you use them to make a complete meal, or as a side to a meal that includes meat, I think you will find these recipes very enjoyable. I can't wait to try some more of them!

Great book as it has fast easy recipes that use more basic ingredients than other vegetarian cook books I have bought.

We recently went (mostly) vegetarian, and this has been a very helpful cookbook in learning how to cook vegetarian meals.

I'm not a vegetarian, but these recipes are wonderful! We are now going vegetarian 3 days a week.

Purchased these for 2 different vegetarians. Our son thought the book had great recipes for his family of 6. My sister-in-law had the same comments for just her personal use.

I have already tried a lot of food choices from this book and it's really great.

Loved it! It's a heavy book but it's worth it because every single recipe has a picture, which is very helpful when you are cooking. Easy to read and really useful in the kitchen.

Great everyday recipe book.
