Excellent vegetarian burgers and toppings December 26, 2008 I found this cookbook at the library while I was on the hunt for delicious vegetarian burger recipes and was thrilled to find it. It contains a variety of burger and toppings with flavor influences from all over the world. Even though the cookbook is very single minded in its focus on burgers the flavors are so diverse that there is quite a range to choose from. Each recipe has quite a few ingredients (10-15 ingredients on average) and does take some prep time. However, most of the steps, while a little time consuming, are still very easy and do not require any advanced cooking skills. The flavor that results is also well worth the effort. These burgers are certainly MUCH better than any frozen veggie burger I have ever tasted. My personal favorites have included the cashew burgers and triple mushroom burgers. When topped with homemade vegan cheese from the The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook: Delicious Dairy-Free Cheeses and Classic "Uncheese" Dishes the mushroom burger made for an exceptionally delicious and decadent tasting burger. Each recipe does yield 12 burgers which in my opinion is a pretty big yield so since I live alone I often freeze half the batch to save for a later date. So far the burgers have frozen and defrosted very well when packed tightly. Even though these recipes do require some prep time and a fair number of ingredients I highly recommend this book because of the excellent flavor that results. A perfect buy for any vegetarian who loves eating veggie burgers or any omnivore who wants to eat less meat while still enjoying burgers. Recommended!
Gentlemen (and ladies), start your food pros! November 23, 2002 22 out of 22 found this review helpful
I borrowed this book from my local library and tried 3 recipes (rice and lentil; pumpkin seed and squash; mushroom). The patties all turned out delicious and had excellent texture -- and each kind had a different flavour. The author has obviously tried each recipe and tweaked them to perfection.It does take a little time to put a recipe together, and it's best if you own a food pro, but the recipes will yield 9-12 patties, enough for a few meals. If you are a vegetarian already, some of your usual leftovers can be used as well. Rounded out with greens and all the fixins, these patties make for lowfat, healthy and tasty meals.
