Great vegetarian cookbook!: I'm not in WW, but I have to say this is simply a great vegetarian cookbook. I own MANY veggie cookbooks and this is one that I turn to at least twice a week. The ingredients are not obscure and the seasonings are wonderful without being overpowering. My fave is the spinach calzone. Yum!
not an 'average' cookbook: I was all excited when I found out there was a ww vegetarian cookbook. When I got it though, I found out that it is full of strange recipes, with items I dont normally have on hand. I was hoping for some yummy vegetarian recipes that seemed familiar. I live in a small town and I can not find some of the things they call for, like quinoa, millet, etc. There are a few recipes that are familiar, and I plan on trying them. If I had it to do again, I would not have purchased this book.
Vegitarian on the points plan: Coming up with healthy,yet tasty vegetarian meals has always been a challenge for me. The recipes are great...easy to create, the ingredients are usually available at the local market, and the food tastes good. Definitely one of the better WW cookbooks out there.
Great for Vegetarians!: This book is great for true vegetarians! You so rarely find great health-conscious vegetarian cookbooks... I use it all the time!
A good way to begin vegetarian cooking: The receipes here are easy. There aren't any photos, so there isn't any way to view the finished product. I like the abundance of ethnic flavored recipes and soups. It's also nice to get information on how to soak beans and use tofu several different ways.
