This collection of recipes will, I think, be enjoyed by vegetarians and non-vegetarians who simply enjoy vegetable dishes. Featured are Savory Snacks, Salads, Soups and Stews, Sandwiches and Wraps, Beans and Grains, Eggs and Hearty Mains. A few of the recipes that appealed to me included the Sesame Tofu and Vegetable Bowl, Cacio e Pepe, Mini Butternut Squash and leek Fritatas and Butter Bean and Mushroom Tartine.

Before getting to the many recipes the author’s provide a helpful introduction to many aspects of vegetarian eating. There is even a section on kids and another on some common foods that are NOT vegetarian. Next come ideas for things to have in the kitchen and some guidance on how to do things like roast beets or seeding bell peppers.

All of the recipes have prep and cook times, number of portions and more. Some, but not all, have photos.

I liked this cookbook. It gave me lots of ideas and the recipes seemed do-able.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.

Loved it! Well done! "Ten tips for Picky Eaters" Thats me! I thought it offered practical, sound advice for someone who is considering a Vegetarian lifestyle. i thought the wealth and breadth of recipes were enticing and the recipes seemed easy to follow without complicated hard to find ingredients. I also liked 'mix it up' which gives you the opportunity to vary the recipe with other ingredients.
I did view this book as a comprehensive resource for starting and maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle. The book discusses the health benefits, flexitarians, fruitarian and pescatarian-different ways to go vegan, and tips for a healthy switch.

Thank you NetGalley and Rockridge Press for the opportunity to review this enticing book!

I loved this book . As a vegetarian of 35 years I found it very educating and enjoyable to read. The format is nicely presented for the reader. The content includes a wonderful chapter on basics that is most helpful for any cook and a great refresher course for those of us that cook often.
The author includes the various easy to prepare vegetarian/vegan receipes and even flexitarian/ pescatarian. I love the chapters on different receipes for preparing vegetables . Some fun chapters are savory receipes and snacks . Recipes I have enjoyed preparing is the Sesame Tofu and the Peppercorn-Brined Portobello Burgers.

The receipes are sensible and very nutritional for everyone. This is a cookbook I highly recommend for everyone that is either vegetarian/vegan or considering going plant based .Your family will love these outstanding receipes. Very well done to the author. Review cross posted.

Thank you with gratitude to the publisher for the opportunity. My review opinion is my own.

A unique take on vegetarian cookbooks, this volume contains lots of unique recipes such as Spicy Black Bean Totchos (i.e., tater tot nachos), Summer Squash Ceviche, or Cauliflower Chickpea Stew. Gorgeous photos of vegetables adorn the pages, but it would be nice to see some more photos of the actual recipes. There are only a handful of those, yet the visual appeal of a dish should not be ignored. The book also has one of the best introductory chapters I've seen in a cookbook--still covers all the basics, but in a simple and nicely organized manner. I actually read it because it appealed to me (whereas I often ignore the intro chapters because they all seem the same. The introduction also nicely answers all the questions one would have if considering switching to vegetarianism but has reservations. For me, it seemed as if the recipes would be too time-consuming, but this book convinced me!

I am vegetarian but I have a monotonous diet because I am not the best cook. I don't really even like to cook. What I find with vegetarian cookbooks is that they are hard to cook with for people who are not good cooks, people who do not like to cook, or people who do not have a lot of time. This is not that book. This book starts out with "Yes you can be vegetarian and it will be healthy, easy and not expensive. Then it gives you the basic things you need in the kitchen and flies into how to shop and read labels. Now for the good stuff. The recipes. The recipes are easy to follow, don't have a crazy lot of ingredients and I have heard of all of them. A plus for me. Also, you will be using the ingredients again so you don't have to buy a jar of something and throw it away 6 months later because you will never cook with it again and you need room on your shelf for the other 5 weird ingredients, you have bought that you probably won't like. The book is full of great color photos and clear instructions. I have made the Kalamata Hummus, Creamy Wild Rice Soup, and the Hearty Lentil Minestrone, all good. I guess it is a keeper. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book and try out recipes in exchange for a review.

This book is perfect for a vegetarian looking for some variety from the basics. These recipes step it up a notch (Lemon Pesto Grilled Cheese for example) and target a more sophisticated palate, in my opinion.

The recipes in this book are divided into the following sections:
Snacks
Salads
Soups and Stews
Sandwiches and wraps
Beans and grains
Eggs
Main dishes

In addition to recipes, the book provides an overview of the health benefits, nutritional considerations, hidden animal products and tips to make the switch. It also has my favorite chapter in all cookbooks: the essentials. This one is tailored to the vegetarian kitchen and lists the key food staples and equipment necessary. As an added bonus, the recipes contain nutritional information along with prep and cook times.

This would have been even better with more recipes along with more photos.

This book is great. I’ve been a vegetarian for over a year. Loads of people ask really great questions and I feel like this book answers them all really well. And it does it in an aesthetically pleasing way! I’m excited to try these recipes!

Eating Vegetarian introduces the different types of vegetarians and how people can also help picky eaters incorporate a more vegetarian lifestyle. My family and I are not vegetarian but I like to make two meatless meals a week and there were quite a few recipes in here that I think would definitely become part of our meal rotation.


I was provided with an electronic ARC through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This has some interesting recipes I’ve bookmarked and will use but ultimately was incredibly pretentious and kind of rude overall.

This vegetarian cookbook has loads more content than just recipes, including the different types of vegetarians (i.e. flexitarian, pescatarian, vegan); how to transition from an omnivore diet to a vegetarian diet; how to prepare a whole host of vegetables, squash, and fruits; and how to help picky eaters adapt to a new vegetarian lifestyle.

The recipe chapters are savory snacks, salads, soups and stews, sandwiches and wraps, beans and grains, anytime eggs, and hearty mains. The recipes are easy to follow, and I easily bookmarked a half dozen to try (as a picky eater, I have a hard time finding vegetarian recipes where I don’t just sub beans for the meat). I do wish, though, that there had been a picture of each dish.
