If you think vegetarian is tofu and brown rice, welcome to a new era-where vegetarian is peppers and pasta, curries and soups, stir-fry and pizza. The recipes in this revised edition of Fast, Fresh & Spicy Vegetarian disprove the idea that vegetarians are missing something. You'll find imaginative and zesty combinations that will bring a spicy dash of excitement into your kitchen. All you'll be missing is the high cholesterol and saturated fat! Both vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike want foods that are fast, fresh, and full of flavor. This book delivers with dishes such as: Roasted Tomato and Habanero Sauce Bow-Tie Pasta with Mint Chili Pepper and Sour Cream Quesadillas Bleu Cheese and Roasted Pecan Salad Sicilian Pizza Spicy Corn Chowder Basil and Parmesan Ravioli And many more! Each recipe includes nutritional analyses and estimated preparation and cooking time. With over 150 fast, fresh, and spicy recipes, deliciously healthful vegetarian cooking is just minutes away. Most dishes ready in 30 minutes or less! You've never had it so good!
This is a great book that really delivers what it promises. Easy, great tasting recipes. Two of my favorites are the roasted cabbage with peanut sauce and the bean salad with citrus vinagrette. It includes many, simple ways to spice up rice dishes (if you have a ton of spices on hand already -- or force yourself to invest in them). However, I didn't give it five stars because like most recipe books, it has some ingredients that I've never heard of....but that's my own subjectiveness/food ignorance speaking. You might have the stuff already.
A life-saver for busy, but hungry, people!

I hope for your sake that this book is reprinted! It has changed my life! I now actually cook the kinds of food I would love to buy at a gourmet, vegetarian deli! (But I live in a remote village and we don't have such opportunities!) I have a long commute and am short on time. But the interesting spices and food combinations in this book have inspired me to make the effort to cook -- for the first time in months! In fact, the recipes have been a springboard for culinary creativity. In several cases I've been inspired to augment the recipes with my own additions. (Because of that, I can't critique the recipes as they stand except to say that they got me into the kitchen and got my creative as well as gastronomic juices flowing!) I think anyone would like the recipes in this book -- vegetarian or not
