Quick-Fix Vegetarian: Healthy Home-Cooked Meals in 30 Minutes or Less

"Many studies have shown that vegetarians seem to have a lower risk of obesity, coronary heart disease (which causes heart attack), high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, and some forms of cancer." --The American Heart Association

  • * Featuring 150 delicious recipes, Quick-Fix Vegetarian provides both novice and longtime cooks with practical and robust vegetarian dishes that can be prepared in less time than it takes to have a pizza delivered.
  • * Written by best-selling vegetarian chef Robin Robertson, Quick-Fix Vegetarian is the answer for busy families who are looking for healthy food, fast.

Quick-Fix Vegetarian by Robin Robertson recently was named Best New Cookbook by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The international organization's Proggy Award (short for "progress") recognizes animal-friendly achievement in 21st century culture and commerce. No longer considered a "hippie fad," the vegan lifestyle is becoming going mainstream. In her latest book vegetarian expert Robin Robertson creates recipes such as Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomato Quesadillas, Chipotle-Kissed Black Bean Soup, Mediterranean Orzo Salad, Beat-the-Clock Lasagna, Five-Minute Slow-Cooker Chili, and No-Bake Oatmeal Almond Cookies for this growing consumer base. In addition, Quick-Fix Vegetarian shows how to use many of the new commercial vegetarian products and includes recipe variations and tips for speedy, stress-free entertaining without sacrificing flavor or mainstream appeal.  more

Great for Veg or Omnivores on a tight budget alike!

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...

It's was a trick

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

My new favorite cookbook

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...

A Veggie Winner!

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...

disappointing

The book is well laid out, very easy to read, and very easy on the eye. I have made four recipes with mixed results. The Jasmine Rice Fantasy surely could not have been tested because I needed to add an extra 3 cups of water to the rice and it took over 45 minutes just to cook using a skillet as...

true to it's name

I have many vegetarian cookbooks and many so-called time-saving cookbooks, but this one really lives up to it's name. She does a terrific job of walking you through everything in the introduction too. I have made several recipes and all turned out great - in 30 minutes or less!!!

Great for people that can't cook!

I really enjoy this cookbook. I am the type of girl that can burn water. Recipes are easy and always a hit!

Not my favorite

If I had been able to check this out at the library, I wouldn't have bought it. Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet by Nava Atlas is much better (for me) and I've made many more dishes from it. In addition, the Atlas book gives me ideas to take off from hers and experiment since the recipes are...

My new old-reliable

This isn't a cookbook that I obsessively earmarked only to forget about it within weeks. Rather, I scanned all of the recipes to get a gist for the ingredients used, and neatly placed into my "regular-use" stash of books. No, I didn't cook from it right away, but I knew I would return. And...
