A well put together cookbook offering both vegetarian and meat options. I liked it because it was straight forward and the recipes were things I would make.

Some good recipes that I could see myself making but also some recipes with ingredients I have never heard of/used before. Not a bad recipe book but I tend to like simple recipes and easy to make meals and not all of the recipes seemed simple with ingredients and preparation.

This book contained all vegetarian recipes but gives readers the option to add meat at the end of each recipe which I really enjoyed. Jeff and I are working on a more vegetarian diet so this book had several great recipes we want to try while still giving us the option of adding a protein that will pair well with the meal. Personally, I don’t enjoy mushrooms and there several recipes in this book that call heavily for them so that is a downside for me as I won’t be trying those meals, but I know they're a great substitute for meat in vegetarian recipes. I'm excited to try out the books suggestions for cooking tofu and has several soups (like cauliflower cream cheese soup) that will be great to try as it starts to get colder out. The book contained beautiful photographs throughout and I loved that the author included proper ways to cook different types of meat in the back of the book as a just-in-case!

wonderful recipes for flexible vegetarians. Each recipe were clearly explained........

The premise of <i>The Flexible Vegetarian</i> is that some people enjoy eating vegetarian dishes without necessarily completely avoiding meat in their diet. Thus, every recipe is provided with a suggestion how it could be made with meat. I cook vegetarian a lot, so I am always on a lookout for new sources of inspiration.

The book is beautifully photographed (seriously, I loved looking at the pictures) and neatly organized into thematic chapters.

I particularly enjoyed the chapter on soups and I think I will be cooking at least a few of them in the near future. I might also make some of the salads. Overall I think the recipes don't seem too demanding on the casual cook, and the flavor combinations look really interesting. My one reservation is that while the meat alternatives to the recipes are okay, the (admittedly short) chapter on preparing meat feels out of place in a vegetarian cookbook, even for this flexible eater.

Thank you to Net Galley for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

When I started reading this book I thought it would suit someone cooking for children. The more I delved into it, the more I realised that the recipes had validity and would make a lovely reference. The beauty of the recipes is that the ingredients are readily available. The instructions are clear and would be simple enough for the beginner cook to follow.

I liked this book for many reason, but mostly because the recipes are clear, well explained and it also gave me options if I don't want them to be completely vegetarian!

Questo libro mi é piaciuto per molti motivi, ma fondamentalmente perché le ricette sono spiegate bene, utilizza ingredienti "normali" e soprattutto fornisce un'alternativa al lettore che preferisce inserire anche proteine animali!

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

A superb cookbook suitable for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike.
I have been a vegetarian for nearly 25 years, my family however are avid meat eaters (pig and chicken being their favourite). Cooking separate meals is always a pain, and to be honest, they don't always like my meal choice. So it is refreshing to find a vegetarian recipe book with advice on how to make it suitable for meat eaters. The photographs in this book look truly mouthwatering and had the desired effect of making me want to try them all. There are some unique and completely new to me dishes to cook along with some fantastic takes on traditional meals that I know I'm going to enjoy cooking and eating. Prior to writing this review I have tried 3 dishes and I also have plans to cook more later in the week. A few of the ingredients are not my norm, so a shopping trip is on the cards in the near future. A fantastic recipe book for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Recipes include omelette, mushrooms on toast, pancakes, basic soups, etc. There are some inspiring recipes there as well. However, the majority are so basic that I would not buy this book. For a vegetarian book, the last chapter is on cooking various meats, like roast chicken. I understand that you can serve meat with vegetarian dishes, but it is incongruous and really basic - everyone knows how to cook a roast chicken.

interesting cookbook - something in there for everyone - from vegetarians to anyone looking to switch up their dinner routine
