From Booklist
Gr. 4-8. Much more than just a cookbook, this sprawling title introduces basic nutrition and how to achieve it with a vegetarian diet. Beginning sections cover safety tips and culinary basics--how to measure dry and liquid ingredients, for example--as well as types of vegetarianism, the environmental and health reasons that have led many to a meatless diet, and a list of common vegetarian ingredients. The recipe sections are extensive, with well-chosen dishes from breakfast foods through entrees and desserts. The somewhat lackluster format, sprinkled with cartoon illustrations, will appeal mostly to a younger audience, although teens who can get past the graphics will enjoy the recipes. The spreads are uncluttered, with easy-to-follow directions and symbols that note prep time and difficulty. Even if they're not interested in distinguishing tempeh from textured vegetable protein, kids will come away from this title feeling more independent in the kitchen. Gillian Engberg

An all around great cookbook for any age!,

This review is from: The Jumbo Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)
Technically this is a children's cookbook, but that's the kind of cookbook I like to use the best. Just because you're all grown up, doesn't mean you have to eat that way. This cookbook is definitely good for beginners though. It's got a great little guide in the front with all the "official" cooking terms in it so you can understand it all. Like a picture of a spaghetti strainer and next to it, it says "colander," so you know what they mean when the instructions say you need a colander. It also tells you exactly what they mean when they ask you to stir, beat, dice julienne, etc. It also breaks down carbohydrates, protein, fats, and vitamins, and tells why you need them. This is definitely a book that you should pick up if you're just starting your vegetarian diet. Although the recipes are mostly vegetarian, there are a few vegan ones in there also. Each recipe is in metric (European) and Imperial (American) measurements. And most recipes give you little alternatives and variations that you can try. In the beginning of each chapter they have about three meal plans that you can try out like a movie night at home, southern meal or a good winter lunch. All of these recipes are fun, easy and taste great. There's everything from full meals to basic vegetables to snacks, shakes and desserts. This is an all around great book for any age.--Reviewed by Danica for vegetarianteen.com

Disappointed,
By T. Guerrera - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Jumbo Vegetarian Cookbook (Paperback)
My daughter was disappointed in this cookbook due to its lack of enticing recipes as well as its constant use of dairy products in many of the recipes. In fairness, some children may love its simplicity as well as its kids friendly style.
