I love Paul Gayler - as another reviewer says, he produces beautiful 'cheffy' recipes that are perfectly possible to make at home. I've used his books for years (and believe me I'm no chef) and friends are always impressed when I make one of his dishes. He's full of brilliant ideas, too - I don't like tomatoes, so his beetroot gazpacho will become a regular feature next summer.

Not for complete beginners, perhaps, but certainly nothing to daunt anyone with a few years of cooking under their belt.

This is a wonderful collection of easy to prepare vegetarian dishes that taste amazing. Nadine Abensur transforms simple vegetables like potatoes and spinach into something heavenly. This is what vegetarian food is all about ... dishes that make you want to make them again and again and again. Some of my favourites are the beetroot risotto, spinach soup, and the celeriac and porcini gratin. I love this book because all the dishes I have tried are lovely and if you're cooking for someone else you can be guaranteed that whatever you choose to make from this book will impress your guest without fail. Gone are the days of boring, bland veggie food; Nadine Abensur's book changes the taste of lentils, tofu and cabbage to something spectacular and special.

I've only been a vegetarian for six months. This book has many great recipes but after enjoying using it for a while, I discovered that there is no such thing as vegetarian parmesan cheese. All parmesan contains rennet, which comes from the stomach linings of slaughtered newly born calves.
As a vegetarian, this notion is repulsive to me, so why does this 'vegetarian' cook book seem to use parmesan cheese on every other page?
There is a paragraph in the appendix all about parmesan cheese but there is no mention of rennet or it's origins. This book should not be marketed as a vegetarian cook book.

First of all, this is a good book with plenty of great recipes and inspirations etc etc etc. However, I find Juliano's technique is best suited to someone who owns a restaurant or at least has nothing else to do all day except prepare food. For someone like me with a full time job, a wife and a child the recipes are completely impractical since a lot of the recipes need to be dehydrated for up to 13 hours and most of them refer to other recipes in the book. You think you're going to spend half an hour making something only to find that the recipe requires a condiment detailed on another page that takes half a day to make.

For example, I decided to make the raw carrot cake. It said "this is the tastiest *20 minute* carrot cake you'll ever ... Read More:

Vegetarians beware! I found this book from a search of 'vegetarian cookery' but in fact a lot of the recipes are meat-based. It does look like an interesting book for those who eat meat and want to make their vegetables complement their meals, but the book is no use to me. I'm sending it back.

I absolutley love this book - so much that I keep giving it as a gift and reccomending it to friends over and over again. I've travelled through many of the countries in the book and the writers tales of how they came across each dish really bring back memories of my own adventures and the desire for new ones! It's essentially a culinary travelogue. Also fantastic are their vegetarian adaptions of classically meat dishes which I was unable to try on my travels as I'm vegetarian but can now attempt at home. The photographs of the locations and the food are inspiring and the recipes easy to follow. I've used the book for casual meals and dinner parties alike.

This is a great all round book with good layout and lots of nice photos. It covers lots of basic recipes so there is something for every occasion. I've made the Apple Cake twice and it is really delicious, and, importantly, looks good - making it all the more impressive when served to non-vegans. Not all the recipes call for egg replacer - lots give flax seeds as the main replacer or as an option. I would definitely recommend this book, along with Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, for anyone interested in vegan baking.
