   I’d love to order the book but only if it has vegan recipes…and there is no place where it mentions that it is vegan; or at least I didn’t find it. Perhaps I can go to a bookstore and take a look at it.
   
   Bon Appetit seulement si c’est végétalien! And I still gave it a 5 stars in apology if it is VEGAN!

   This book’s title does not do it justice. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered this, perhaps the same recipes with a new twist. This cookbook is so much more than that! These recipes are inventive, fun, well-rounded, creative and delicious! I am usually intimidated by recipes with complicated flavors, but this author makes them very simple and easy to do. Perhaps because the variety comes from interesting combinations of every-day ingredients, rather than using hard to find ingredients that you would need to find in a specialty store. Many other reviewers seemed dissatisfied with how difficult the ingredients are to find, but if you live near a food co-op or natural food market you should be fine. Anyone who has access to a health food store can easily cook these recipes. And BONUS – there are lush color photos for every recipe. A must for your vegetarian and even your omnivore cookbook collection.

   Some favorites are: Moroccan Squash Tagine, Sri Lankan Tempeh Skewers, Mexican Corn and Quinoa Soup, and Braised Garlic Squash Tart with Aged Gouda.
   
   Yum!

   If you are looking for some well rounded, multi-ethnic vegetarian cookbooks, the classics are: Sundays at the Moosewood Restaurant, Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone, and Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian.
   
   If you’re adventurous and looking for new recipes, this is a great choice.

   I like the book, but then there are things that I don’t like about it, too. The main thing I don’t like about it is that it’s stretched out a bit by the addition of two, or three, even 4 pages of graphic elements (like a whole page of just color with some flowers, or leaves, then a page opposite with a heading caption “appetizers and light meals” etc. The next page is just a block of blue, the following page is a definition of the word appetizers, and when they’re served…really? Do we need this? It feels like this book could be a booklet or pamplet if pared down to the actual recipies!)

   the recipies themselves seem ok, a few I wouldn’t try, but a few I might. Overall, I think I might end up with one or two things out of this book that I’d add to my usual rotation of brunch-type items, but nothing in the way of dinners, really. Everything is pretty light fare, salads, quiche, and what my husband would call “lady-food.”

   In all, I think the book could have been even thinner had they not stretched it out with so much graphic elements and explanations and definition pages of things.

   I gave it three stars because I do like that many of the recipies had photos to show what the finished dish looked like, (there’s a certain ratio of pictures to text that works well, and this book nailed it in this respect, but as a whole, I thought the book could have been better.

   This is a cookbook that could double as a coffee table picture book! Yummy recipes from all over the world, organized by types: soups, main courses, deserts, etc. The only complaint I have is that some of the recipes call for a variety of rather exotic ingredients, which I would probably not buy, just to try out one recipe. Also, I need to be gluten free (no wheat) and probably at least 1/3 of the recipes contain some source of gluten, rendering it useless for me. But for someone without food intolerances, who enjoys trying out exotic recipes for their friends, this book is a gem!

   I’m not a vegetarian, but I have some friends who are of that persuasion, so when I have them over I don’t slap a slab of beef on the table and say, “dig in.” I cook food I know they can eat, but it’s gotta taste good too, and I’m sorry, I’ve just never gotten off on raw, steamed or friend veggies. They just don’t float my boat. I do like asparagus and broccoli, but I like them smothered in cheese and I like my tomatoes sliced with a slice of mozzarella on them.

   So, this book is a lifesaver for a girl like me. Tasty vegetarian recipes. Food I can serve my friends and enjoy myself as well. Plus, you can serve some of these dishes as a side with that slab of beef. For example the other night I did a delicious Filet and served it with the Roasted Grapes and Golden Beets on Arugula with Pistachio Chevre from this book and it really went over well. Tasted good and went well with the flavor of the meat.

   If you’re a vegetarian, then this book will add some delicious dishes to your fare and if you’re not, you can still find scrumptious food here.
