Sophisticated, home-cooked vegetarian meals without the fuss. Is that too much to ask? Absolutely not.
True to his roots as a restaurant chef, cooking teacher, and family man, award-winning vegetarian chef Peter Berley has a passion for meals that taste incredible, salute the seasons, and are easy to prepare in under an hour. In Fresh Food Fast, he provides forty-eight meals -- twelve for each season -- including recipes, a shopping list, an equipment list, and a game plan that takes you step-by-step through the menu.
Included are substantial, satisfying meals that will bring pleasure to vegetarians and omnivores alike:

Amazingly simple & elegant!,

This review is from: Fresh Food Fast: Delicious, Seasonal Vegetarian Meals in Under an Hour (Hardcover)
I received this book as a gift and immediately put it to use for father's day. I made the cold avocado w/ lime and jalapeño soup to start and seared tofu w/ black beans & mango salsa as the main dish. They were really both fantastic, and even my extremely carnivorous father was pleased! The meals are very quick and yet are quick and sophisticated. The book itself is gorgeous, and Peter Berley did a very interesting thing with the organization, where it is organized seasonally into menus. Whats so nice about this is that it makes making an entire meal even easier because you are given the ingredient list for everything (in addition to individual recipes), and a "game plan" for what to do and in what order. Fabulous book!

This book is excellent - I haven't tried a recipe from it I didn't like (have tried 8-10 of them but none of the desserts).Most ingredients were on hand already and all members of the family enjoyed. Great for throwing meals together fast and easily adapted so you don't have to run out to the grocery store. Ranks in my top 5 cookbooks (#1 spot is held by Rebar).

Peter Berley - you have managed to do it again! I am not even considered near - Vegetarian, yet I found Berley's recipes to be delightfully scrumptous. A beautifully written and easy to follow book, I highly recommend it.
