Customer Review: Fantastic!
A great vegan cookbook which I use time and time again! All of the recipes are foolproof, but I have to say, why do so many Vegan cookbooks not have photos?????
Customer Review: Can tempt any meat eater to veganism!!!!
I had a vegan guest over for a while and did not know any tasty vegan recipes to prepare. So I found a few recipes from the Thai and Caribbean books in this series to give me some ideas. What can I say… I never realised vegan meals tasted soo good! As a result I bought this book and I am amazed at how great these recipes are. I’m not a vegan, but if I decided to change these recipes would make the transition easy!!! Appreciated by vegans and meat eaters!

Leith’s Vegetarian Bible
Vegetarians, or just lovers of vegetables, will find Leith’s Vegetarian Bible an indispensable addition to their cookbook collection. This tome of vegetarianism is packed with 1000 recipes ranging from starters to desserts and accompaniments, as well as handy information on nutrition and managing a non-meat diet.

The book is arranged by vegetable type, so it’s easy to look up recipes that use what you’ve got in the pantry. Information such as the peak season for each vegetable and the vitamins found in each is also included. Polly Tyrer and the other four contributing authors offer a wide range of recipes from all over the world. Mediterranean dishes such as fresh spinach cannelloni appear alongside Asian-inspired recipes like noodles with peanut sauce and raw vegetables as well as Middle-Eastern and South American flavours. In fact, there is such a plethora of choice that it’s hard to decide which recipe (or which continent) to start with.

You don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy using this cookbook. Most of the dishes (for example, the Thai red pumpkin and coconut curry) are so hearty that you won’t miss the meat at all. Alternatively, you could use many of them (such as asparagus with lemon and caper sauce) as accompaniments to a carnivorous meal. On the downside, only 16 of the 1000 recipes are accompanied by a photograph. This may cause less-confident cooks to shy away from the more complex recipes, but most of the dishes are simple enough and the steps are well explained. The Vegetarian Bible is useful for both everyday cooking and impressing friends at dinner parties. –Amelia Crook

Customer Review: Fantastic collection - my favourite!
This is my favourite cookery book - and I’ve got LOADS of them. A lovely collection that has eased my transition to near-vegetarianism. Unusual, elegant recipes that always seem to work out despite initial fears(learn to trust the book!). Good clear instructions - many of the recipes are fairly complex, but there’s a good spread of difficulty and success may inspire you to tackle some of the big ones! A good index helps you to use up spare fruit and veg. The results are wholesome with plenty of ideas on incorporating sufficient protein in the vegetarian diet. And the book looks lovely on the shelf, too. Recommended.
Customer Review: Contains every ingredient under the sun
I hate those cookery books where the index is arranged according to the first ingredient of a recipe… you know, “rocket and tomato bake with goat’s cheese topping,” and you don’t find mention of tomato or goat’s cheese under their respective letters. Well, the index of this huge book is fantastic, arranged according to every ingredient used in every recipe, so whether you’re looking under rocket, tomato or goat’s cheese, you will find your recipe or an idea for an ingredient in a flash. Another fantastic aspect of this book is the amazing variety of ingredients, and the division of chapters according to foods rather than your traditional starter, main meal, salad and dessert categories. The scope of ingredients used is very wide, from asparagus to zuchinni, and it has motivated me to use so many ingredients I had never used before, like fennel, rhubarb, halloumi cheese or even watercress. It’s introduced me to some fantastic and tasty ingredients combined to give you mouth-watering flavours. I’ve made about 50 meals from this book and so far have been disappointed only with the fennel and melon risotto - apart from that each diah I’ve cooked up was exciting, original and a real feast. This extensive book is a must in any vegetarian kitchen, and will suit the beginner and advanced cook alike, with really simple recipes but also some time-consuming expert ones. Certainly one of the books I used most often.

Customer Review: Would not recommend this approach
I am vegetarian and I eat healthily. After following the guidelines of this low carb diet for a couple of weeks I did loose weight but felt that my diet was far from healthy ! Being advised to avoid foods like oranges while being able to eat almost unlimited amounts of eggs and processed vegie food seemed wrong and unnatural to me. *I did loose weight but I gained most of it when I tried to re-introduce carbs ie fruit and vegetables *I felt light-headed for most of the time *I am sure that the calorific value of the meals was so low that I would have lost weight on that level anyway - low carb or not. *any diet that requires you to take supplements cannot be healthy *the only real way to being a healthy weight is to take a lifelong aproach to eating healthily, exercising and monitoring / managing that calorific balance
Customer Review: GREAT BOOK! But Non-Vegitarians be aware…
This is a fantastic book! If you are searching for a successful way to lose weight - this is definitely a method that I recommend! After years of checking food labels of calories and fat intake - I never really lost any weight without starving myself (which I knew was a BIG mistake!) However, after buying this book I noticed that by eating, my weight seeemed to be disappearing. I have a few minor things to mention though… 1) If you are NOT vegitarian (like me) then do NOT strictly attempt the vegitarian diet as you lack meat as well as carbs which you are use to. I thought vegetables were healthier and I love vergitarian food so I thought it wouldn’t be a problem… but unforuntaly it was. I fainted on the tube, and friends also in the same situation experienced severe headaches and painful cramps! After switching to foods we were use to (i.e. meat), we experienced less problems. 2) It takes about a week on about 30g of carbs a day for 11st (+/- a stone) people to have a smaller appetite. I have however slightly broken the rules by having a glass of wine a night, a bite of a biscuit or so and still managed to lose 9lbs in two weeks! A very comforting start to the diet! (People I know on this diet have alos lost a substantial amount of weight in the first stage of the diet!!) 3) Remember to drink LOTS of water. Even after drinking 2 litres of water a day, I usually still feel thirsty and dehydrated. 4) TAKE YOUR MINERALS & VITAMENS! It is essential to take your minerals to ensure you get the essentials in your body as you are cutting out foods (like fruit) that have the ingredients your body needs. I do however like the food in this book! I am a fan of cheese, but I particularly like the yogurt breakfast, the scrambled egg on mushroom breakfast, the vegi-burger dinner and I have yet to try the muffins! Hope you find this usefull & good luck with your diet! x

Low-Fat Hummus (Middle-Eastern Garbanzo-bean Spread)
Traditionally this recipe is made with much more tahini and several tablespoons of

olive oil. This low-fat version is so delicious you won’t miss the extra fat.

1 can garbanzo beans (chick-peas), rinsed well

1 1/2 clove fresh garlic (or one teaspoon garlic powder)

Juice of 1 and 1/2 lemon

1 tablespoon tahini

Put ingredients in food processor. Blend until creamy.

Serving Ideas: Serve with pita wedges, or for a delicious sandwich, spread a thick

layer of hummus on bread or a sliced roll (or inside a pita) and add sprouts and

tomato slices. Hummus is also great as a vegetable dip. Try dipping raw carrot and

celery slices, brocolli flowerets, and tomatoes.
