Product Description From the host of PBS's popular Delicious TV all-vegetarian cooking show--fantastic vegetarian home cooking, focusing on fresh ingredients, great flavor, and no-fuss preparation. The health benefits of vegetarianism are well known, but to many, the art of easily preparing tasty vegetarian food remains a mystery. With PBS's Totally Vegetarian, Toni Fiore, herself a vegetarian for nearly twenty years, has become one of America's most trusted guides to fast, flavorful, and comforting vegetarian cooking. Now, in her first-ever cookbook, Fiore presents 200 recipes that emphasize healthy, delicious, and easy-to-prepare food using familiar and readily available ingredients-- whether you're cooking for vegans, vegetarians, or carnivores. Fiore is particularly gifted at formulating great-tasting vegetarian adaptations of popular classics--dishes like tempeh fajitas, veggie potstickers, eggplant "meatballs," polenta con funghi porcini, potato sage pizza, and easy spicy tofu roll up--that can be made in less than thirty minutes. This is delectable vegetarian fare that longtime vegetarians, vegans, and everyone aspiring to eat less meat will enjoy preparing and savor eating.

Great recipes, but needs a little polish September 13, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you're looking for a book with great vegetarian recipes, this is definitely one to have on hand. Everything I've made so far from it has been outstanding! The only reason I didn't give it five stars was the lack of photos...I really like having photos of every dish so I can anticipate what it will look like, especially when I'm making something new for company or a special weekend date dinner. But overall, I would highly recommend this book!
Amazed Carnivore - Hungry for more! September 1, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I dare any professional chef to tell the difference between the Tofu Cannoli and a real one!! This book has opened my eyes to a whole new world of flavors and recipies. I think this book will change people's perception's about vegetarian cooking. Toni creates dishes other than just salads and tofu that is sure to satisfy just about any palate!
Such an easy read! August 26, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is a delight! So easy to read...it's more like having a conversation with the author. The layout is great and easy to follow the recipes. Vegetarian or not, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in delicious healthful eating. Thanks Chef Toni!
Delicious veggies! Yummm! August 25, 2008 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Great and easy recipes! After trying a few of the dishes demonstrated on Toni's Delicious TV Totally Vegetarian show (I'm now living on crispy, wonderful tofu bites) I pre-ordered her book. I am not disappointed! The book begins with basic lists of what belongs in a functional kitchen, and, more importantly, why it belongs there. The list is limited--not a dream kitchen--a working kitchen. The recipes are doable, delicious, and quick. Toni's explanations are clear and the sequence is logical. I found a special feature for those moving into a more vegetarian lifestyle! There is an "if you like . . . then try" section in the back. So for instance, if you like beef stock, then try porcini stock. Fabulous! If you're a vegan already this is a great book for you. There are very few recipes with eggs or dairy, and even in these it's usually optional.
What I love though is the food! If you've ever thought that becoming a vegetarian or vegan was a sacrifice, think again! The dishes included in this book are varied and truly delicious (and, yes, low calorie and good for you too). Try the Moroccan Stew: a blend of roasted eggplant, cashews, tomatoes and spices. Or do the Rosemary-Roasted Winter Vegetables: roasted butternut squash, cauliflower (which rocks when it's roasted) and rosemary.
Do yourself a big favor. Go to http://www.delicioustv.com and check it out. Then buy this book!
