Product Description
Many studies have shown that vegetarians seem to have a lower risk of obesity, coronary heart disease (which causes heart attack), high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, and some forms of cancer." --The American Heart Association

Quick-Fix Vegetarian by Robin Robertson recently was named Best New Cookbook by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very tasty,
By Middle aged Momma (Victoria, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quick-Fix Vegetarian: Healthy Home-Cooked Meals in 30 Minutes or Less (Paperback)
This is a terrific cookbook. I bought it because even though I am not a vegetarian I am trying to eat more veggies and have more vegetarian meals each week. Everything I have made has been very tasty and easy to make, and has been really well received by my family.I am really enjoying the terrific, tasty, savory recipes.

Frequently off the Bookshelf!,

This review is from: Quick-Fix Vegetarian: Healthy Home-Cooked Meals in 30 Minutes or Less (Paperback)
I bought this cookbook after borrowing it from the local library. After renewing it multiple times I figured that I had better just buy it! I find that it is one of my more used cookbooks and therefore more likely to be sitting out on the table rather than on the bookshelf. I didn't give it five stars since there were a couple flops, but the majority of the recipes are good and easy to make. I haven't regretted my purchase.

Another Robin Robertson Winner!,
By Laura F. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Quick-Fix Vegetarian: Healthy Home-Cooked Meals in 30 Minutes or Less (Paperback)
Robin Robertson is my all-time favorite vegan cookbook author. That is why I rushed right out and bought Quick-Fix Vegetarian. I have already read through the whole cookbook and made several recipes.Robin's meals are always innovative and delicious, but these recipes have another advantage - they are quick and easy to make. If you love to eat wonderful meals, but don't like to spend hours in the kitchen this book is for you. For example, I made the Polenta and Pinto Bean Pie, it literally took 15 minutes to put together. The Udon Noodles and Baby Bok Choy with Creamy Tahini Sauce was awesome, and took all of 20 minutes to put together. And if you like soup and sandwiches for lunch or dinner, most of them are done in a snap, as are the main-dish salads. There's even a chapter on make-ahead meals that assemble quickly and then get popped in the oven when needed. For the working person, or just for someone who loves to cook and eat fantastic vegan food without all the fuss and muss, Quick-Fix Vegetarian is the cookbook to own. 83 of 84 people found the following review helpful

Little work, lots of flavor,
By Magda S. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Quick-Fix Vegetarian: Healthy Home-Cooked Meals in 30 Minutes or Less (Paperback)
Though this book is all over the map (slow-cooker recipes, casseroles, etc.)--are these recipes that are on the table start to finish in 30 minutes, or is hands-on time 30 minutes? There are some in each category. Still, I give this book 5 stars because everything I've made is truly easy and absolutely delicious. The recipes work as stated; no guesswork or tweaking. Robin is friendly, helpful, and informative as an author and cook, and I look forward to making lots more of these tasty and healthy recipes.
