Book Reviews of Vegetarian Express : Easy, Tasty, and Healthy Menus in 28 Minutes(or Less!)
Book Review: Quick & yummy even for non-vegetarians
Summary: 4 Stars
I have owned this cookbook for over a decade now. It's amazing it's still in one piece, I use it so much! I made these recipes all the time prior to having a family to feed and use it even more so now. I really appreciate the small(er) ingredient lists, the use of canned/frozen foods (so I can actually find the ingredients in this little town!), and the way each meal is complete with side dishes and directions about what to do in what order to turn out the dish in under 30 minutes. Even my VERY non-vegetarian husband has liked many of the dishes I've made for him from this cookbook. I wish these two authors would publish a new Vegetarian Express with some new dishes in it!
Summary of Vegetarian Express : Easy, Tasty, and Healthy Menus in 28 Minutes(or Less!)
Vegetarian Express claims that each of its recipes can be prepared in 28 minutes or less. If preparation time sometimes stretches to 40 minutes on a few of the more complicated recipes, it hardly matters, for you end up with an extraordinarily delicious, low-fat meal in as much time as it takes for the local pizza place to deliver one of its greasy pies. This book was written with busy people in mind: folks who like to eat well but don't have the time to spend steaming, blanching, soaking, and simmering after a full day of work. Instead, Nava Atlas and Lillian Kayte encourage cooks to use prepared foods as often as possible: canned chickpeas, frozen spinach, and quick-cook rice add up to a blissful curried chickpea stew; frozen corn, canned olives and tomatoes, and tortillas combine to make a dynamite Mexican lasagna. The book is divided into sections on grains, pastas, sandwiches, and more, including recipes for side dishes to compliment each entree.Accompanying each recipe is a checklist for ingredients; a breakdown of the calories, grams of fat, and protein contained in each serving; and instructions for when to begin each phase of preparation. With Vegetarian Express, even the most harried cook can prepare healthful, tasty meals in record time.
