Great recipes, very approachable
These are incredible recipes! Super easy to execute and doesn’t require anything super odd. I’m just a casual home cook, and I love making all of these for my friends and partner whenever I get the chance. Most come together quick and don’t require too many steps. They also provide lost of substitution information and tricks! A great buy.

The Best Vegetarian Book For Me
It has wonderful recipes I want to make after so many disappointing books.The explanations are clear and interesting. Many recipes are easy – I don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking. And the meals are filling; I’m not hungry 30 minutes later. I may be able to finally be a vegetarian.

This cookbook vs. others by ATK
I love to shop on Amazon, but it can be a risk to order a brand new cookbook without having a physical copy to browse first. I am an America’s Test Kitchen fan and have many of their cookbooks, so I am basically comparing this new cookbook to others by them that I have.****The book itself: quite heavy for one of their paperback cookbooks. It’s got to be at least as heavy as the many of the hardcovers. The binding isn’t that great. Although I am super gentle with my cookbooks, I anticipate that this one will have a crack down the spine.

my new “go-to” cookbook
I have many vegetarian cookbooks, but I had to get this one because I trust Cooks Illustrated and America’s Test Kitchen (ATK is the tv program/CI is the magazine from same company) to get delicious and successful recipes. Everything I have prepared so far for my family has been great. I made a quinoa salad with black beans (and remade for company), quinoa patties/cakes (fyi: I did make them a bit smaller than they suggested), snow peas with lemon zest and garlic (snap peas worked well too), and Thai Style Tofu and Basil Lettuce Cups. All received high praise from the vegetarian (me and older teen daughter) and non vegetarian (teen son and husband) members of my family. I stuck with my usual Moosewood Cookbook gazpacho, but I incorporated some ideas for preparation and ingredients from this book that were helpful. I cannot wait to make more. This will be my new “go-to” cookbook and I am giving it as a gift to two friends.There are many vegan (250) and gluten free (500) recipes. The ones that I have made that are gluten free or vegan were worth the price of the book. The only drawback, as another reviewer noted, is the lack of nutritional info. I wish they would do this with all their cookbooks (and TV show and their website!), but especially in a vegetarian cookbook which would attract some health focused cooks. I do think if they make another edition of this book in the future, that they should include this. That said, the ingredients for the recipes I have made so far were healthful. Perusing the book, I see some recipes that use butter, 1 soup that has butter (creamy cauliflower) and 1 that has cream and butter (creamy butternut squash-I think it would be good without the cream though), pie dough with butter, but I would estimate that there are enough recipes in the book that do not use cream or butter and a small percentage call for eggs to make it valuable for the low fat cook. I see recipes using cheese-some just with parmesan which is lower fat, and then some cheese and egg recipes like soufflé, pizza, and quiche. Again, there are many without cheese as well. It is a big book with a total of 700 recipes!I have the Mark Bittman Everything Vegetarian, which I found helpful as a basic resource for cooking various vegetables (example: the best/recommended way to cook a list of vegetables, with details on timing, etc) and fruits (I always use his plantain recipe), as well as some good recipes. This one has some educational points too-info with photographs of how to shop for and prep various vegetables and fruits for example. I do like the photographs in this one. What I like the best is that every recipe I made so far has been healthful, vegetarian, delicious and successful and my family (and I!) love them and even eat the leftovers.

Excellent book. Bought another one for a friend. Its just all recipes in one book. Tried and tested. And notes on why recipe works.Its hard enough to be a vegatarian. With just a nod in normal books. So to get this bible on vegatarian food is a marvel and thefact that it comes from the USA means there are recipes from every culture.

I like this book so much that I bought copies for my (adult) kids. What I like about America’s Test Kitchen is that they break down dishes and build recipes to achieve the most flavorful results. It has a wide range of recipes, and even some exotic dishes like Indonesian fried rice and Middle Eastern dips. I like the way they give an explanation for why each recipe works. It has lots of descriptions of techniques. Don’t miss the section in the back which has some interesting sauces, dips and snack foods. The pita chips disappear very quickly in our house. I highly recommend this book for someone who is starting to cook on their own, or who is new to vegetarian cooking.
