Great for Veg or Omnivores on a tight budget alike! by C. L. Greer  5 Stars
October 08, 2009
I bought this book when I first switched over to vegetarianism in December of 2007. I had done a little research but not much, this book got me through the first month without a problem! I still do eat dairy, however little since I am lactose intolerant, so I find that vegan cookbooks work the best for me. I still go to this cookbook at least once a week to look up little recipes, or even ideas for a different meal I want to make. My pages are torn, covered in food stains and have dog-ears all over the place! Highly recommended for ANYONE, not just vegetarians or vegans. A lot of the meals in this cookbook are good for those who are cooking on a tight budget! I also recommend this to omnivores because it's such a great and easy way to look out of a that "normal" realm of foods that the average person eats. There are bases for meals in here that I grew up having no idea existed!

Don't think you're getting something from FNW's Robbin Miller. Still this has something to offer for alternative food choices.

Excellent recipes, more vegan than vegetarian. by C. Vance (Salt Lake City, Utah)  4 Stars
September 07, 2009
The Pros:
The flavors in the recipes in this cookbook are amazing. Really delicious.
There is one recipe per page. It's easy to read and refer to.
The recipes are easy, mostly. Not too many ingredients, but lots of flavor.
The Pro or Con:
More vegan than vegetarian. If you're looking for recipes with eggs, cheese, or dairy, you won't find them here.
The Con:
The Sloppy Joes were awful.

My new favorite cookbook by Kiwi (Seattle WA) 5 Stars
August 21, 2009
I love this cookbook. Everything I have made out of it has been easy and very tasty. I've actually gone out and bought more copies for friends. There's a big variety of recipes, from quick salads to slow cooker recipes. I hadn't used my slow cooker in years, but this book inspired me to start again, with the 5 minute chili recipe, which I could throw together in the morning when I really only had 5 minutes. Most of the recipes are vegan, but I was surprised that I didn't miss the dairy products. Some of the recipes, to make them fast, use premade ingredients, like mushroom gravy, frozen pierogis, or a jar of salsa, so this book is not for purists who want to cook everything from scratch.

A Veggie Winner! by Peter John Pols (USA) 5 Stars
July 27, 2009
Quick Fix is much more then a quick fix, its a keeper! This book is truly useful for those that are interested in becoming vegetarians, or even vegans but are also busy and always in a rush (ok, that's most of us!). It covers a vast range of topics including setting up meals that are not only easy and fast, but healthy. Good healthy veggie meals are far better then a National Health care program. On the other hand, if its your spouse that wants to become a vegetarian or a vegan, this book will help put your mind at ease. It's definitely one of the first books I would recommend to those moving from meat to meatless and who don't want to spend hour in the kitchen. There are a couple of others that you could also read and gain a wealth of knowledge and recipes from:
221 New Vegetarian Dishes
Delicious, Healthy And Easy - Tom's Vegetarian Cookbook: Easy Yummy And Nutritional Vegan Recipes
The Black Art Of Cooking: The Raw Truth
The Golden Age Vegetarian Cook Book
Vital Facts about Foods: Included: 200 + Longevity recipes & 250 Food Analyses References
For each of these books you can rely on, I love vegetables, and everything I have tried in these books was just great. In fact, between them all, I have really come to rely on them book not only for recipes, but for reference as well.
