Taste of Home Vegetarian Made Easy: 335 Delicious Meatless Recipes with Tips for Every Table Paperback – July 14, 2020

I bought this recipe book a few weeks ago after scouring Amazon for healthy vegetarian cookbooks. I have bought a few in the past but none compare to this. Firstly I’m not a great cook but trying to improve and have a vegetarian husband and I am flexitarian and currently also wanting to overall eating habits for weightless and maintaining.So was looking for a good variety of protein rich and easy to cook meals.We have made several of the recipes and here is what is great about the book:1. Just the sheer variety of dishes is great2. Easy to find ingredients ( nothing overly complex or difficult /expensive to buy)3. The recipes are so flavourful and delicious.the simplicity in some of the dishes that are soo good4. Fairly easy to make- I am not a good cook at all but so easy and simple to follow the e instructions also good if you are limited on time5. Every dish we have made so far has been a winner which we will incorporate long term. Including lentil tacos, meatless chili mac, gnocchi with white beans, black bean and rice enchiladas, tofu pad thai.6. Some really simple and creative ways to use staple and protein rich ingredients like lentils, beans, tofu in new ways.7. The nutrition information and calories per serving which is great if you are trying to lose weight/ eat healthier and for calorie counter apps.8. There are some options to meat if you are cooking for people who are not vegetarianI look forward to cooking thanks to this cookbook it is excellent!! and have cut back on eating out as a result.We have used the vegetarian hello fresh and purple carrot subscriptions in the past but this is a great alternative. Highly recommend for vegetarians and non vegetarians who want to explore meatless options.

I am so happy this cookbook exists (and in Kindle form)! I have gone through to bookmark numerous recipes in it that look tasty and that I can't wait to try. I also generally have had good experiences with Taste of Home recipe results, so I figured I'd give this cookbook a try. I eat meat, but I would like to cook more vegetarian meals for health reasons and because touching raw meat to cook is often icky to me. I appreciate that the recipes in this book are not fancy foods and weird combinations of foods you've never heard of, but they are instead vegetarian meals you actually want to cook and eat on a regular basis.The first recipe I tried was the pressure-cooker chickpea and potato curry. It was outstanding! To me, that recipe is worth the price of the book. It will go in my recipe rotation. Yes. I know you can find their recipes online. But their vegetarian recipes are scattered. It is great to have them all collected and stored in one place on my Kindle version of this book.UPDATE: I've now owned this book for about two more months. I have bought several vegetarian cookbooks recently, and this is the one I use most. I cook something out of it at least once a week because I get good results and the recipes are not too time-consuming. I have tried the Southwest Tortilla Pie (which I turned into quesadillas), the Zippy Egg Salad, the Tuscan Portobello Stew, the Zucchini Tomato Frittata, and more. I haven't had a disappointing meal from it yet. My favorite so far is the Black Bean Sweet Potato Rice Bowls. My boyfriend is a "Where's the beef?" kind of person, and even he has raved about some of the recipes, especially the pesto gnocchi. I'm looking forward to trying more!UPDATE: I've now owned this book for almost 11 months. In that time, I have come across a few misses among the recipes. However, there are still many more that work well. It still is probably my most accessible of vegetarian cookbooks with recipes that are easy to put together. I'm still glad I bought it.

Great recipes ! Easy to make and delicious!

I bought my sister a bunch of vegetarian cook books for her birthday and this is the best one. There are pictures on every single page. I haven’t given it to her yet so I don’t know how the recipes are but there are a ton of recipes that look really good!

Really good recipes. Good directions.

This book caught my eye because of its claim to help a meat-loving family go meatless. Without seeing the inside, I am always hesitant to buy cookbooks, but I am very happy with this purchase. As a family who cooks a lot of Tex-mex foods and home style meals, these recipes are really going to help the transition between comfort food items to meatless comfort food. I I really appreciate that it doesn't throw you into the deep end of vegetarianism but introduces family favorites with high proteins alternatives. There is a lot of different recipes (including easy to make, I'm a huge fane of 5 ingredients or less), bright color photos, and educational material for nutrition with non-meat options. My dad and I have done keto for a number of years now which has been such a positive improvement, but has also emphasized a need to have meatless options, even though keto/ low gi relys on high protein. My dad is a person who has always been a meat and potatoes sort of person, and these recipes have given us a lot of options for retaining his favorite recipes with alternatives that taste good.

Had many good recipes happy with the book

New to being a vegetarian and I am grateful that this cookbook included pictures for pretty much every receipe. Looking forward to exploring my new path.
