Regina Campbell's philosophy of dining is simple: Enjoy! For over eight years she has been developing her recipes with one goal in mind: to make vegetarian cooking a pleasurable and practical reality for everyone to enjoy. So she set out to create recipes that explode the myth that vegetarian cooking is a time-consuming hassle. By combining fresh ingredients with perfectly acceptable frozen and other convenient substitutes, she has perfected a 'real world' vegetarian cuisine that anyone can follow. But here is the real surprise. These recipes are incredibly delicious! Regina is a wizard in the kitchen, and her recipes, while short on hassle, are long on flavor. Discover her magic touch on such dishes as Chilled Lemon-Rice Soup, Portabello Parasols, Cajun Cauliflower and Potatoes, and Thai Garlic Dip. In addition to great recipes, Regina has filled her book with nutritional tables, culinary facts, and fascinating historical anecdotes.

This is from Chris, the sometimes sous chef/helper/foil for Regina on her TV series. This cookbook isn't just for vegetarians (I'm not one). It's for anyone who likes good food. If you are an omnivore, this is the perfect book to provide great meals many times every week. You won't miss a thing. If you're a vegan, just substitute non-dairy alternatives. It can move you into new cuisines with ease, fill you up, keep you light, provide wide variety, and most are fun to prepare. I ate it while we taped it. I use the book constantly at home. This book takes vegetarian eating out of bland or boring and into great tasting, filling and fun.

I can't live without this cookbook!

I highly recommend this cookbook. The recipes are quite simple to make and soooooo delicious. My two favorite things about this book is the recipes do not call for exotic ingredients, so I'm constantly referring to this for my daily cooking. And, I love the wine suggestions following each entree. I can hardly wait for her next book to come out. I own too many cookbooks, but this is the one I am constantly using on a daily basis. I can't live without it.
The best cookbook I own! Fabulous!

I saw Regina Campbell on her PBS cooking show, "Regina's Vegetarian Table," and loved her cooking style, philosophy, and recipes so much that I had to buy the book. What a worthwhile purchase! This book has given me the best recipes out of all of the cookbooks I own. Some of my favorites are the mushroom pasta provencale, banana bread, and fresh peach cobbler. All the recipes are easy to prepare, but use fresh & easily accessible ingredients. My meat-eating husband loves the dishes I have prepared from this book. Regina has done a wonderful job adapting her recipes to taste like they contain much more fat & oil than they actually do. I especially love her technique of sauteing in water or vegetable broth, and adding oil afterwards (this technique is explained in the book). I can't wait for her new cookbook to come out. You won't be disappointed with this one!
This book is outstanding!

This book is really a good one. The recipes are all easy to follow and the photos are all done very well. Prima Publishing did an outstanding job on this one.
