Product Description
Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast If you’ve been searching for a cookbook to help you put delicious meatless meals on the table in a hurry, then look no further.

These recipes are ridiculously complicated and each one has a multitude of ingredients. FAST & EASY? For who? Martha Stewart??
I’m using this book as a doorstop.

I assume that these editors know that grains such as quinoa, amaranth, rye, spelt, kasha and [has no one ever heard of?] wheat can make fine main or side dishes. I had hoped for some new ideas for these and other grains and vegetables on which I have thrived for years. Have they never heard of porridges? If you want speed, make porridge. And quinoa cooks in about fifteen minutes. Most small or cracked grains cook in 15-20 minutes.
I had assumed that there would be SOME bean recipes, although I am deathly allergic to all beans, and SOME pasta recipes even though pasta, too, ill suits my own particular physiology. Unfortunately, this is a BEAN and PASTA book, with an occasional, genial but uninspired reference to other foods. It makes the book essentially useless to me.
Far better books are availabe: The Greek, Italian, Indian vegetarian cookbooks, whole grain cookbooks, natural foods cookbooks.
An uninspired disappointment.

My husband and I have tried several recipes in this book and we’ve loved 99% of them. It’s well worn and marked up with lots of smiley faces (something we put on the top of the page if we really like a recipe). I’ve made minor adjustments over the years on ingredient amounts to compensate for our personal tastes, but over all it’s been a “go-to” book when we’re pressed for time and need to make dinner quickly.

The best quick cookbook I own. I use it every week. It doesn’t have pretty pictures, it has recipes that work, are good and fast.

I love this cookbook, use it all the time. One of my favorite recipes is the Mushroom Chowder…Yum!!! BUT….The nutrition information in the book is completely innaccurate – sometimes by more than 100 calories PER SERVING. Luckily I caught it before any damage was done.
