Even if you never use a single recipe from this book, the amusing commentary blurbs make it worth reading. Jay Weinstein has a great sense of humor which is shown in several little textboxes throughout this cookbook.
By the way, you shouldn’t have any problems using recipes from this book. There are many yummy ones to choose from, with clear and easy-to-follow directions, as well as useful information on vegetarianism. I think this is a great book, not just for vegetarians, but for people who have decided to eat healthier by having a few meatless nights, or parents who may be struggiling to find something to cook for their newly vegetarian son or daughter.
Oh, one more plus. This book is NOT filled with exotic expensive items you’ll have to raid specialty shops for. You can find most of what you’ll need at a regular grocery store.

I have never written a review for Amazon before. Never had a reason to. But Everything Vegetarian is simply the most AMAZING cookbook out there. My husband told me that he would be happy to eat vegetarian meals if I fixed them. So, not being a cook in any way, I set out to find recipes I could try. I must have purchased ten cookbooks. Most are decent. Some things good, some things not so good. But EVERY SINGLE recipe in Everything Vegetarian turns out perfectly. Most recipes have a Mediterranean touch, using toasted cumin seeds and the like. And Mr. Weinstein explains clearly each step in the recipe. There is never a question of “What does THAT mean?” or “Where would I find THAT ingredient.” He tells you everything. I genuinely wish I could find this man and kiss his feet.

As recent arrivals in the vegetarian world, we are very pleased with this informative and well-written book.

We look forward to many healthy meals, without the gnawing feeling that some animal was killed to feed our carnivore tastes.

Well done, and thanks.

Clear and easy-to-follow directions! This great book is filled with superb ideas, methods and simple recipes for veggie eaters. This book serves vegetarians well by offering truly tasteful, healthy recipes that we can enjoy either as a main course or side dish while not spending hours in the kitchen. Well done! This cookbook is a complete, comprehensive guide to cooking vegetarian.

I have a large variety of cookbooks, but this one offers many different recipes and ways to try new foods or new preparations of familiar foods. I’ll go months sometimes without looking at this book. Every time I go back to it, I’m impressed by how good it is.

Not only does this book have great recipes, but it will totally add ideas to your cooking arsenal.

This book is truly useful for those that are interested in becoming vegetarians, or even vegans. It’s definitely one of the first books I would recommend to those moving from meat to meatless. There are a couple of others that you could also read and gain a wealth of knowledge and recipes from:

221 New Vegetarian Dishes

Delicious, Healthy And Easy – Tom’s Vegetarian Cookbook: Easy Yummy And Nutritional Vegan Recipes

The Black Art Of Cooking: The Raw Truth

The Golden Age Vegetarian Cook Book

Vital Facts about Foods: Included: 200 + Longevity recipes & 250 Food Analyses References

For each of these books you can rely on, I love vegetables, and everything I have tried in these books was just great. In fact, between them all, I have really come to rely on them book not only for recipes, but for reference as well.
