Book Reviews of Quick-Fix Vegetarian: Healthy Home-Cooked Meals in 30 Minutes or Less

Book Review: Good resource for a working mother
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this book to help me to make healthy, quick meals on very busy days while I transition my family into a new style of eating.

I had not realized when I bought this book that it was Vegan, I wish that had been made more clear in the title. I am not interested in adopting a Vegan diet, I am interested in replacing our traditional meals with healthier, meatless alternatives. Luckily I have found that the recipes offered here are indeed easy to make and good tasting, and thus still useful toward my ends. The kids do like the food (no small thing!) and and I am getting use out of the book, just perhaps not as often as I had hoped as I prefer to include dairy and eggs in my children's diets.

I recommend the book if you are looking for quick Vegan meals, or for good tasting, healthy dishes to 'fill around the edges' of lacto-ovo or omnivorous diets.

Summary of Quick-Fix Vegetarian: Healthy Home-Cooked Meals in 30 Minutes or Less

Quick-Fix Vegetarian by Robin Robertson recently was named Best New Cookbook by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The international organization's Proggy Award (short for "progress") recognizes animal-friendly achievement in 21st century culture and commerce. No longer considered a "hippie fad," the vegan lifestyle is becoming going mainstream. In her latest book vegetarian expert Robin Robertson creates recipes such as Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Quesadillas, Chipotle-Kissed Black Bean Soup, Mediterranean Orzo Salad, Beat-the-Clock Lasagna, Five-Minute Slow-Cooker Chili, and No-Bake Oatmeal Almond Cookies for this growing consumer base. In addition, Quick-Fix Vegetarian shows how to use many of the new commercial vegetarian products and includes recipe variations and tips for speedy, stress-free entertaining without sacrificing flavor or mainstream appeal.
