Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This review is aimed toward you health-conscious vegetarians out there. This cookbook is none other than the way vegetarians USED to eat: lots of eggs, dairy, and eggplant! To sum it up, I did an approximate breakdown of the 150 recipes: 12 contain eggplant; 20 mushrooms; 25 zucchini/squash; 21 beans; 23 eggs; 90 DAIRY! (We all know that the fats in dairy products are the WORST kind.) And for you carb counters there's a whopping 62 recipes containing Idaho potatoes, rice, pasta, or bread products! ("Toast" and tortillas are common meal accompaniments.)
We also see a tremendous amount of repeated ingredients here, and recipes that have run the vegetarian gamut for years - nothing new and innovative.
That said, there are a few "tasty" options, yet those don't justify buying this cookbook.

For vegetarians, trying to follow a low-carb diet is difficult, as they depend on grains, pasta, bread, and other high-carb foods to get required calories and nutrition, while the popular low-carb diets are based on meat. The authors first present a comprehensive introduction to low-carb dieting for vegetarians -- why it works, what to eat or avoid eating, what to expect as a realistic weight loss, and how to keep it off. The recipes, all entrees, include Eggplant and Zucchini Casserole, Quiche Lorraine, Artichoke Pie, Apricot Cheese Melt, Swiss Cheese and Spinach Pinwheels, Greek Lentil Stew, and over a hundred fifty more. Each recipe includes net carbs and complete nutrition data.
