The ( Almost ) No Fat Cookbook: Everyday Vegetarian Recipes

Anyone looking for a good basic introduction to vegan recipes should have this book. (Lacto-ovo vegetarians need not be scared off!) It covers a little of everything. The results are very dependable. I've made the drop biscuits, blueberry muffins, chickpea sandwich filling, eggless salad, fudgsicles, waffle iron hash browns, mock hollandaise sauce, tofu mayonnaise, worcestershire sauce and probably several others. I've always been impressed with how well the recipes turn out.

I checked this book out from the library after returning to my Vegan/Vegetarian (I cycle my diet between Vegan and Vegetarian foods) nutritional lifestyle. The recipes are fabulous tasting and very low in fat/calories. A couple of the other reviewers comments are correct: 1. this is a Vegan cookbook, no animal products are used in the recipes, and 2. you'll need to have access to things like Nutritional Yeast (not the kind utilized in breadmaking), and Agar for SOME recipes, but not all of them. I've made the macaroni and cheese, chocolate tofu mousse and tofu shakes so far, and they've turned out just wonderful. I look forward to utilizing this book on a daily basis.

This a great book. The instructions are easy to follow. The recipes turn out great. There are also very helpful sections like the one that gives cooking times for various foods using different cooking methods.

I love this book because it shows how to make regular, satisfying meals...without meat! An earlier review of this book mentioned that you will never make another Boca Burger...the best thing about this book is, you can control what ingredients go in your meal (organic, no-GMOs for me!). I especially like the seitan recipe, which allows you to make delicious seitan for pennies what it costs to buy the prepared stuff. The pizza is also excellent; the homemade crust really makes it. This is a book that makes vegetarianism easy.
