Summary: Cheap and easy cooking - perfect for college kids.
Comment: I am only a college student whose cooking skills are almost nonexistent, yet this particular book made me the chef of the day. The first thing I cooked out of this book was the cheese stuffed eggplant - at first I was terrified how it was going to come out, but the recipe was delicious, meat free (meat's expensive, so meat free is a great plus for a poor college kid), and with pictures to compare whether what I have made is actually what was supposed to be made. My roommates liked it very much, nobody complained, and I didn't blow up the kitchen or anything :).
I highly recommend it to anyone whose major concern is the ability to cook cheaply and effectively. Most of the recipes include things which can be stored for a couple of days prior to final preparation. It also includes a basic overview of dietary needs of a meat eater and vegetarians, explaining the alternatives for both. But the best thing about it, that since it is so beautiful and classy looking, it gives you confidence to cook and doesn't make you feel like a total moron in the kitchen.

Summary: Classic vegetarian recipes.
Comment: Most households including mine had a copy of Joy of Cooking. It was quite a tome, but this selection of vegetarian recipes in Joy of Cooking: All About Vegetarian Cooking is contained in a slim volume, easy to handle in the kitchen, and with great color pictures. I think these recipes are all in the latest Joy of Cooking, but to have them all in one place, with pictures and tips for beginning chefs, is very useful. The book is priced to fit a student budget, but contains recipes which range from casual dining to fancy enough for entertaining friends. The recipes also include a variety of courses. A good summary of the variety of vegetarian diets is included in the beginning, as well as an alternate food pyramid for vegetarians. A section of Egg recipes is included, for those who eat eggs along with their vegetables. This is one of those cookbooks which you can just pick up and read, and it really lives up to its name, and should be a useful holiday present for anybody.

Summary: Excellent vegetarian recipes . . .
Comment: The first cookbook I ever used was a 1954 edition of Irma Rombauer's "The Joy of Cooking." The updated version of this classic is still one of my primary sources.
This new edition repackages the vegetarian recipes already contained in "The Joy of Cooking" into a useful smaller volume. The extras include shopping and cooking techniques and full color photos of many of the dishes. The photography is excellent, and will tempt you to drop everything and head for the kitchen.
The same "never-fail" standard of the original is preserved here. The recipes are well written, and include easy-to-locate ingredients. If you're a vegetarian and have been avoiding getting the original all-inclusive "Joy of Cooking" because you'll never use most of the recipes, then this is definitely the book for you. While a large number of the recipes are for ovo-lactos, there are a substantial number that are suitable for vegans as well.
And even if you're not vegetarian, you'll still find tempting treats in this volume.
