Meatless: More than 200 of the Very Best Vegetarian Recipes will appeal to a wide audience, including vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters. I am one of them...I do eat meat, but not everyday and in small amounts. This provides some great meatless main courses in addition to sides dishes than can be served with meat if desired.
As a former chef and caterer, I have a lot of experience in cooking, but still seek out new recipes. In my opinion, making meatless dishes really good can be challenging and this book has some great looking ones to try. (I have tried a few; see below.)
The book is divided as such:
Stovetop suppers
Soups, stews and chilis
Casseroles
Substantial salads
Sandwiches, burgers and pizza
Pasta
Simple sides
The photographs are beautiful and made me hungry...each recipe its own.
I tried the fresh pea hummus which was nice and light with great flavor and a nice change from chick pea hummus. The tortilla Espanola was delicious and made a terrific brunch. I also tried the baked artichoke with bread crumbs which was really good. The roasted beets, Edamame and arugula salad was delicious. I had never though of roasted edamame and they were terrific!
I will be trying many more recipes.
I also like that many different grains are used and a nice variety of vegetables. That said, nothing so esoteric that the ingredients can't be found at your local farmer's market or a good health food store.
Now, there are a lot of vegetarian cookbooks out there; why get this one? For starters, each recipe is carefully thought out and most sound really good. I have several vegetarian cookbooks that I look through often and don't always find anything inspiring.
