The Part-Time Vegetarian: Flexible Recipes to Go (Nearly) Meat-Free

This is one of the worst digital versions of a cookbook that I’ve come across in a very long time. There is no index nor list of recipes, so you basically have to read each chapter as if it’s a novel and that makes it all but useless as a cookbook.I was really interested in trying some new vegetarian recipes, but not at all interested in having to write an index in order to find them.Technology is such that this shouldn’t even be an issue.If you want this book, I suggest getting a print version. The kindle version is a total waste.

I purchased this for my sister who just recently got into cooking, but was struggling with variety on a vegetarian diet. I couldn't be happier that I chose this book out of other options! The meals in here not only thrilled my sister, but were DELICIOUS for the rest of the family as well. The book is full of suggestions on how to make the recipes work for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike, which is a godsend for families who have a variety of dietary restrictions.

I am partway through the book. It takes a bit of time to "DIGEST" the material, but it looks wonderful and will help a lot.;

Easy recipies

Lots of great recipes and the book arrived in great condition.

Great book for a vegetarian and omnivore house.

Maybe this is just the type of book you are looking for: Dress these recipes with the flavor of meat, or not. It is a book definitely geared towards those who are not committed vegetarians, or who maybe cook for one vegetarian in a family of meat-eaters.I've been there: When an older step-son would be home for a visit, I would take a dish to a certain point, then divide it into two pots. In one pot I would add more spice for my vegetarian chile head. In the other pot I would fill out the dish with meat. This group of recipes is somewhat like that technique. Okay, it's not exactly how the recipes work here in this cook book, but you get the idea.Because changing up recipes comes kind of naturally to me--I think it's my experience--I am not too impressed by these recipes, and I would give it a three-star rating. On the other hand, not everyone cares to conjure up and adapt recipes and they will appreciate this book. That's why I finally decided to give this cook a four-star rating.

Great flavorful recipes. Broken down into simple and more complicated weekend meals. Unique and delicious with beautiful presentation and also nice variance in flavor profiles

I'm veggie & my partner is not - though he eats a lot of vegetarian meals and I am trying to start to incorporate chicken into my diet. I thought this book would be a great way to get some more ideas of meals for us to make, but honestly I've found most of the meals to be be a bit .... odd A lot of the meals don't have reference photos and use strange ingredients so you don't really know what to expect. A lot of the foods are just plain weird and don't sound very appetising at all. It is a very pretty, well bound book though so I think it'll stay in the bookshelf just to look at, though I don't think I will every actually try a recipe from it.

Unfortunately not enjoying this at all. Some flavour combinations are just odd and should not be put together, some meals are actually more like starters and we have to cook something additional after we have eaten. I am a fantastic cook and home cooking constantly from various cook books (Asian, Middle Eastern, African, European, Vegetarian and so on) but it seems to me that this book was prepared based on food presentation rather than flavour. Also it can be rather expensive per dish, even for me, even though I have majority of world spices, sauces and grains in my cupboards. Do not recommend

I bought this for my friend and thinking of buying one for myself as he’s been raving about it. He said recipes are very easy to follow and happy with every meal he’s made so far!

Brilliant book. In our house we are always looking to be that little bit healthier, recently meaning we arevtrying to cut out meet a few days a week. This book has helped that and offers an adapted meat version of each recipe. Thoroughly recommended.

Have cooked three recipes from this book now. Instructions and ingredient lists are clear however the some of the ingredients themselves are things I wouldn't normally use apart from for these recipes, and aren't particularly good for someone on a budget ...or a diet! Overall a good book.
