Customer Reviews

Perfect for anyone considering vegetarianism!

I've been a vegetarian since I was 9, and my family still gives me grief about it (I'm 14 now)... But with the help of this book I've shown that I can have a well balanced diet without meat. Plus, I've learned to avoid foods with "hidden" animal byproducts!

Vegetables rock! is perfect for a beginning vegetarian.

'Vegetables Rock! : A Complete Guide for Teenage Vegetarians' is an insightful book. I'm sixteen years old, and I decided to become a lacto-ovo vegetarian just a few days ago. This book is the first information source I've come across. It answered all my questions about vegetarianism with a clever, humorous approach. It helped me appreciate my economical decision. And the cover of the book is adorable.

An awesome book for all vegetarians

This book is a great starter for everyone and especially for new vegetarians. It gives complete advice for becoming vegetarian and nutrition info. The recipes are really cool, especially for those who are afraid of the bizarre food sometimes recommended for those who are avioding meat.

Creative solution to a carnivore-parent's dilemma

Where have you been, Ms Pierson! After struggling to find reasonable, rationale and somewhat-creative meals to feed my vegetarian/vegan teenager, this new book is a welcome gift to other omnivore parents. It is a straightforward presentation of meals without having to seek out esoteric ingredients and resort to spending your entire meal shopping effort in remote health food markets.

An excellent resource for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike!

With informative data and clever humor, this book brings a fresh perspective on vegetarianism to the table by addressing issues important to both teens and adults. You won't find whiny preaching about the perils of carniverous eating. Instead, Pierson's exhaustive research has yielded important health suggestions, survival tips and mouth-watering recipes from nationally renowned restaurants. As a twentysomething on-again, off-again vegetarian, this book has become a staple both in my bookshelf and my kitchen. It's a one-of-a-kind manual, written for anyone who's ever known, been or seen a teenage vegetarian. It's a must-have!!!
