Review by Library Journal Review
The latest title from Vegetarian Times focuses on quick and easy meals, many of which take fewer than 15 minutes to prepare. Tantalizing new dishes like Blueberry Breakfast Quesadillas and Miso-Edamame Bites are mixed in with such old vegetarian favorites as curries and pasta salads. The introduction explains clearly and briefly how to use the book, including determining what the nutritional analysis provided with each recipe really means. In addition to the standard list of pantry staples, the authors provide tips for faster preparation. An index presents a handy way to find recipes by ingredient or recipe name, necessary because navigating the book's ten chapters is not always intuitive; it's not easy to guess that the recipe for Chipotle Black Bean Tacos with Roasted Butternut Squash can be found in the lunch section rather than with entrees, and Carrot-Raisin Waffles are in the annoyingly named "Kidz" chapter, not in "Breakfast and Brunch."
