3.0 out of 5 stars Great For Those Who Miss Meat, April 12 2004

By

This review is from: Lindas Kitchen: Simple And Inspirirng Recipes For Meatless Meals (Paperback)

I give this book 5 stars for those who are vegetarian (or even not vegetarian) and miss the taste of hearty meat dishes. Linda usually includes recipes that use meat substitues and rich ingredients, and in this book, there's not a lot of anything else.

So for vegetarians like myself, who just plain don't like the idea of meat - the texture, the taste, the heaviness - it's not the best. I averaged my score out to 3 stars, but really it's not for you if you want what the average vegetarian palate gets to experience more often than the carnivore's: an international and interesting taste selection. Try "Linda McCartney's World of Vegetarian Cooking" to achieve that effect.

"Linda's Kitchen" is, however, almost certainly for you if you're vegetarian for other reasons and want to regain that meaty heartiness in the kitchen - minus the meat itself. It is also for a more adventurous chef who enjoys using varied ingredients. You'll be able to find these ingredients at most grocery stores, but she does tend to use quite a bit.

3.0 out of 5 stars These are not SIMPLE Vegetarian Ricipes, Jan 5 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Lindas Kitchen: Simple And Inspirirng Recipes For Meatless Meals (Paperback)

I'm sorry, but don't let the title of this book mislead you like it did me! The recipes average about 10 ingredients and some are items I have never heard. They are also a little time consuming in my opinion. Even a beanburger has eleven ingredients--and I have never heard of cannellini beans! This is not simple and inspiring for a beginner.

Margaret (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Linda's Kitchen: Simple and Inspiring Recipes for Meatless Meals (Hardcover)

We've been vegetarians for 40+ years and have tried dozens of cookbooks . Without a doubt this is the best in terms of ideas and the production of wonderful meals . If you want a simple and proven guide to fine vegetarian cooking this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Practical Vegetarian Cookbook
I was delighted to find this book to be entirely practical. So many vegetarian cookbooks contain unknown or hard-to-find ingredients, and some of the recipes are often rehashed... Read more
