Scrumptious Photos Make Vegetarian Cooking Easy,
By Franke James, Author, Bothered By My Green Co... (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canadian Living: The Vegetarian Collection: Creative Meat-Free Dishes That Nourish and Inspire (Paperback)
I love this vegetarian cookbook! It is our absolute favorite.Why is this cookbook so much better than the other veggie cookbooks I already have? The photography! I love being able to see what the dishes are supposed to look like. Vegetarian cooking was "foreign" to us, so having a visual to guide us, makes everything so much simpler. The meals come out looking like the photos. As creative artists we appreciate the look (and art direction) as much as the taste. We've been trying to transition to a vegetarian (and more organic) diet for about six months now. But the trick is -- you have to know how to cook delicious vegetarian meals. "Canadian Living: The Vegetarian Collection" is helping us do that. (My husband and I also signed up for a cooking class but the recipes were so time-consuming we have not cooked any that we saw there...) I also appreciate that Canadian Living provides the nutritional analysis on each meal: everything from calorie counts, to fiber and protein. Essential information if you want to have a healthy diet. Most of the recipes are simple and the directions are easy to follow (time estimates on food prep are also very helpful). All in all: This is a fabulous vegetarian cookbook! Highly recommended.

I have always completely trusted recipes by Canadian Living and have never been disappointed. Having recently introduced vegetarian meals to our diet, I am pleased with everything I have tried so far. The meals are tasty, nutrious, and easy to prepare. I recommend this volume very highly!

Review,
This review is from: Canadian Living: The Vegetarian Collection: Creative Meat-Free Dishes That Nourish and Inspire (Paperback)
Overall, I think this cookbook is quite good. The pictures are very helpful and the recipes are well detailed. I tried two recipes - one was quite bland but the other recipe, the cover recipe, Black Bean Quesadillas, was excellent. I look forward to trying more recipes.
