Recommended by an unreconstructed carnivore

Yes, vegetarian can also mean tasty, and it can also be easy to prepare. This is a great cookbook with tremendous variety and flair. There isn't a recipe to found here that isn't relatively easy to prepare. I love cooking meat over flame as much as the next barbeque addict, but I love this cookbook enough to give it out to friends as a gift. Forget about it being vegetarian, it just a good cookbook, period. If I were limited to just five cookbooks in my kitchen library, this would probably be one of them.

Great vegetarian cooking for the real world!

I'm sorry to see this cookbook has gone out of print, it's one of the best cookbooks (vegetarian or not) I've ever owned. The ingredients are easily accessible in smaller cities and towns (unlike more exotic vegetarian cookbooks), but they are combined in unique and tasty combinations. Makes healthier eating easy, many of the recipes are simple enough that you can still prepare them after you come home tired from a long day at work. Excellent sections on Italian and Eastern European vegetarian dishes. Bring back more of Bobbie Hinman's cookbooks!

By far, the best vegetarian cookbook I own!

This is an excellent resource for anyone who is vegetarian, or enjoys the occasional meatless meal. The merits of this book are numerous.First, the sheer number of recipes in this cookbook is astonishing. Most vegetarian cookbooks I own have between 50-75 recipes. Meatless Gourmet contains hundreds!Second, the cookbook is excellently arranged by the ethnic origin of the recipe (middle eastern, mexican, greek, etc.) rather than by course. It makes it easy to find the right recipes when you're "in the mood" for something specific.Third, the book itself is bound in such a way that it is easy to lay it flat on the counter while you're cooking. No more holding down the pages with other kitchen implements while struggling to read the instructions!All in all, this is one of the best vegetarian cookbooks out there. I recommend it without reservation!

Scrumtious!!

This is a great cookbook, period. I use it more than any of my other cookbooks. Even if your not a "Veggie" you'll love the food. Everything I've made so far has been delicious! When I cook this food for others they all ask me for the recipes. One friend asked for so many of the recipes that I am now buying him the book as a gift.

Great cooking ahead!

The BEST vegetarian cookbook available today! Every recipe is exceptional. Most cookbooks have only a handful of good recipes. In the Meatless Gourmet, every recipes is a feast.
