Customer Reviews

decent small cookbook

For a small cookbook this has a pretty good range of recipes and better yet, some very helpful sections on general cooking principles. I found the recipes a bit generic, but on the other hand they are easy to prepare and use very common ingredients, which is consistent with the time-saving goal of the cookbook. Best of all, there were some great nuggets of information in the "hints" and general topic overviews which will have a postive impact on my overall cooking skills.

The busiest cookbook on my shelf!

Six years after purchasing The 15-Minute Vegetarian Gourmet, I can still say that this is the most often used cookbook in my collection (and the most often shared). Recipes are simple, honestly delicious, quick, healthy, and distinctive without being too strange for mainstream American tastes. I have blessed Ms. Mitchell many nights when it was my turn to cook and I was exhausted. This is also a good source of "company food" for people whose gifts do not lie in the kitchen yet want to entertain with a (manageable) bit of flair.

Delicious, quick, and practical!

Pasta with Szechwan Peanut Dressing, Vegetable Stir-Fry with Ginger Sauce, Vegetable Curry and Mixed Fruit Chutney, all now our delicious and fast favorites from The 15-Minute Vegetarian Gourmet by Paulette Mitchell. These recipes have intriguing little taste treats which lift them above the ordinary. The book stands by itself as the most practical and satisfying when you are looking for something truly good as well as easy and quick to prepare, a busy cook's treasure.
