| | Customer Reviews: not a bad one in there ... (16 November 2008)I've been vegetarian for all my adult life and I can honestly say that I have never found a recipe book with as high a hit rate as this one. I've tried loads of the meals and all have been fantasic. What I like most is the combination of really easy to follow recipes, easy to find ingredients and exciting/unusual flavours. I've bought this book a few times to give as presents once people had tried some of the food at my place. It's a cheap little book and as an added bonus, you have a breakdown of the recipes by carbs, fat and calories, so it's easy to find something to suit your needs. If you only buy one vegetarian recipe book, buy this one. You really won't be disappointed. Nifty little book (30 September 2008)This book is proof that good things come in small packages - it was lying unused on a shelf for a long time before I picked it up and decided to make something from it and since then the book has become grubby and stained due to the number of times I've used it. Someone else has already pointed out it is great value for money and I definitely agree on this. A perfect book for when you need something quick to make after a long day at work! It's full of easy, uncomplicated recipes. Good simple and tasty (14 July 2008)I have made lots of the recipes in this book (in fact its one of my most used recipe books)- they are always tasty, and filling, and generally fairly cheap and quick and easy to make. Unlike alot of recipe books, it tends to use mainly ingredients you would have in your cupboard, with means less trips to the shops and less money spent (and you dont end up with a cupboard full of stuff you bought for a recipe and will never use again!) Its also fairly unsahamed about using tinned stuff or ready made sauces if it makes the recipe quicker of easier, which is a plus, and often pute in alternatives things you can use if you dont have a particular ingredient, or suggests alternative ways of cooking something to make it easier. I'm not vegetarian, but I do like vegetarian, and didnt find that I felt like any of the recipes I made were missing meat. Only one minor quibble - they often recommend using vegetarian alternatives to ingredients, for example vegetarian parmesan, vegetraian pesto, vegetarian feta, and I found these pretty hard (or impossible). If you are a meat eater like me, and can use normal parmesan/pesto etc, then this book is fine. If you are Vegetarian and know where to get necessary veggie alternatives, also fine. If you are a meat eater looking for something to cook for vegetarian friends, be prepared to change your recipes if you cant find the right ingredients. not what I expected (28 March 2008)I have a few of these little goodfood books and they have been brilliant. After deciding to cut right back on the amount of meat we eat in our house i opted for this book but was a little surprised. Many of the recepies contain quite a lot of cheese (which my husband and son will not eat)meaning that it probably wont be thumbed through like the rest of my books. The dairy free chapter and the casseroles chapter did have some really good ideas but i have been a little put off with the calories and cheese content in the other chapters. High calories alert!!! (22 January 2008)Yes the recipies do look delicious, but the calories are so high!! On average most of the recipies contain over 300 - 400 calories per serving and some into the high 500s! Even the salads are 350-450 calories! I'm sending it back. | |
