 The Title Says It All June 30, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book hoping to learn how to make better home-cooked vegetarian meals. While I thought it was a nice, informative introduction to vegetarian cooking for those new to vegetarianism, as a long-time lacto-ovo vegetarian who wants to improve her cooking skills, I didn't find it very helpful. In my opinion,too much time was spent discussing things about vegetarianism that I already knew about (e.g., vegetarian philosophy, etc.) and not enough time spent on cooking techniques and recipes. So, I recommend this book only to people new to vegetarianism (guess that'll teach me not to pay more attention to book titles!). Culinary challenged, long-time vegetarians such as myself might be better off looking elsewhere.
 A wealth of wonderful recipes November 11, 2001

Vegetarian Cooking For Dummies is the ideal "starter" book for anyone wishing to convert to a vegetarian culinary lifestyle. Fun and easy, the recipes are enhanced with superb color photographs and instructions that are simple, straightforward, and consistently reliable. In addition to a wealth of wonderful recipes, the novice vegetarian is also treated to a "reader friendly" guide to vegetarian basics, a description of the vegetarian kitchen, the tools and techniques of vegetarian basics, and some very good "tips, tricks and techniques" for adapting recipes to a vegetarian format. There is an invaluable section offering ten reasons to cook vegetarian, ten practical vegetarian cookbooks, ten helpful websites; and ten online sources of ingredients; as well as a metric conversion guide, an index, and book registration information. From dips, spreads, and soups to salads, entrees, and side dishes, to breads, rolls and desserts, Vegetarian Cooking For Dummies is an enthusiastically recommended reference for vegetarian dining from the ordinary family meal to the extraordinary holiday event menu.
