Bland and boring, Feb 25 2010

My wife and I tried cooking out of this cookbook on the advice of a friend but gave up after trying four different recipes.
We tried:
* Wild rice, mushroom and sui choy saute (2/10)
* Garlic and lemon chickpeas with mixed winter greens (1/10)
* Potato, cheddar and green onion rosti (8/10)
* Potato, yam and goat's cheese gratin (3/10)
Only the rosti was tasty, but the recipe was nothing more than what you could find on the internet. I'm certain that the gratin recipe was untested; it called for 4lb of vegies with only 1/2 cup of goat's cheese, so as you can imagine it wasn't very cheesy.
My biggest complaints are that
1. The recipes use weights instead of measures (how many potatoes are there in 2lb)?
2. There are no time approximations
3. The results are bland.
My recommendation is that you skip this and try either of these books.
* The Moosewood Restaurant Cooking for Health (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1416548874/)
* Great Vegetarian Dishes, Kurma Dasa (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0959365915/)

This book is mouthwatering and has many recipes in it which are fairly easy to cook. Even the most diehard carnivores will be impressed!
