 A favorite cookbook November 26, 2007
This has turned out to be one of my favorite cookbooks and I'm not even a vegetarian. The dishes are VERY tasty and are easy to make. Perfect, not only for a student, but for a single person as well.
 Good Starting Position November 1, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's an excellent starting point for anyone considering going Vegetarian especially singles and college students. The recipes are relativaly simple and the meals are perfect for a single student living off just barely over minimum wage. They aren't too big so they don't leave many left overs which can be an issue if there is a lack of space. It's not easy sharing a refridgerator in a house of five people. The lack of variety is my only problem. It's got a few great recipes but not nearly enough for someone who really needs more variety in their diet.
One of the best September 9, 2007
I love this book. This is where I go first for cheap, delicious, and easy meals. I've given copies to many friends and all agree, they don't know how they got along without it.
 A Disappointment July 15, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was extremely disappointed with this book. I only found 1 or 2 recipes that looked good, most of the recipes look like they would be tasteless and not filling. There is a lot of recipes for pizza and stir fry, which I don't need a cookbook for. I was expecting more variety.
There is like 10 recipes for coffee??
Heck yeah! March 11, 2007

Of all the vegetarian cookbooks I own, this is the one I turn to the most. I'm actually not a student or a vegetarian, just a idiot in the kitchen who hates leftovers, so this book is perfect for me! The portions are small, the ingredient lists are short, and the directions are clear. What more could you want?
Since I enjoy reviews by people that have actually tried some of the recipes, I'll share the ones I've tried.
Grilled Sandwich with Mushrooms and Onions- Amazing! In fact, I may just make another one after I get through writing this review.
Green Chili Quesadilla - I made this two nights ago, and my husband and I loved it. Those who like to cook may not even consider this complicated enough to be considered a "recipe," but for me, it's like a whole new world.
Pepper and mushroom pizza - Of all the pizza recipes in this book, this was my favorite!
Baked apples - These taste great by themselves or over waffles.
Baked bananas- yum.
Okay, so there were a few recipes that didn't work out so well, probably because of user error:
Sushi- I can't remember what happened, but I think I was missing a critical ingredient. Anyway, it didn't taste so good, but in all honesty, all my at home sushi attempts have failed.
Roasted Vegetable Rush - I'd recommend boiling those potatoes for longer. Also, the garlic couldn't hold up to my oven's schorching heat. And I just flat out don't like rosemary.
Overall, I highly recommend this book for purchase, particularly if you're only cooking for one or two people. If you have a great deal of experience in the kitchen, this book will probably be too simplistic for you. This book would also be a great gift for those going off to college or for teenagers deciding to be vegetarians. Enjoy!
