A View from a New Veggie

I've recently become a vegetarian (within the last 2 months) and I cannot rave about this book enough! I've bought about 6-7 vegetarian cookbooks recently and this one takes the cake. It is definitely worth the investment. . . . and your carnivorous friends will like the recipes as well! Bobbie Hinman includes so many different types of recipes that you'll never get bored. The directions are very thorough and it's even notated on each recipe which type of vegetarian diet it falls under (i.e. V for vegan (no dairy), O for octo, etc.)If you buy any vegetarian cookbook, let it be this one. It's great for a beginner like myself and the recipes are fantastic. . . . they really help bridge the gap for a new veggie.

Used so much, I may have to buy a replacement soon!

I bought this book about a year ago after I decided I wanted to be a vegetarian, but had no clue how to prepare meals w/o meat. Hinman's book is definately full of great ideas. I have used so many of the recipes that the pages of the books are stained or torn from so much use. The book is divided into several sections including: salads and dressings, grains, pastas, stove top dishes, casseroles, breads, fruits, vegetables, soups, desserts, and beverages. Definately full of recipes that have plenty of protein w/o tons of fat or calories. It is so easy to make some of these. Most recipes can be done in under 1/2 an hour. Even my texan, meat eating family has enjoyed the cooking from this recipe book. It is a MUST BUY!

Best vegetable cookbook I've ever seen!

I wanted to send this cookbook to all of my sisters and sisters in law for Mother's Day and find here ... This is the best vegetable cookbook I've ever seen, with recipes categorized into groups according to the parts of the world that they come from... eastern Europe, western Europe, Italy, the Middle East, India, the Far East, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Every dish I've made has turned out to be absolutely delicious! It's not only for the vegetarian, these recipes are great for main and side dishes, buffets, potlucks, and appeal to people with all tastes and backgrounds. I've never made a dish from this book where I haven't been asked for the recipe... A+

this is a great book!

This is the best cookbook I have ever used. I never use any other cookbooks anymore! All of the meals are really easy to make, cost effective and totally delicious with a LOT of flavor, which is sometimes unusual for vegitarian meals. I think everyone, even those not vegitarian, should have this book!
