 Another 'safe' selection of recipes October 3, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have a few recipe books by Rose Elliot (some from years ago, but more recently The Bean Book and Veggie Chic). I like her ideas, although at times they can become predictable. However, this is a good book and has some excellent quick meal ideas. Great for anyone in a hurry who needs to avoid yet another boring sarnie.

I have Rose Elliot's 2 other books (Veggie meals in minutes and Veggie chic) and so was slightly hesitant about ordering yet another book by the same author, fearing a repetition of recipes. However, I was not disappointed - the recipes are new and original, taste great, are quick and easy to prepare, not to mention the fact that they're bursting with vitamins and antioxidants. I love the fact that Rose Elliot tells you how many calories you're getting out of your portions and the various vitamins that can be found in each meal. The recipes are easy to cook and use readily-available ingredients; but strangely, they are never boring as you'd expect from common ingredients. If you want good food but don't have much time to spare, this will surely motivate you to get into the kitchen and throw away your ready meals.

I have a shelf full of veggie recipe books, and a number of Rose Elliot books. This is my favourite, and the one I have used the most.
There are delicious salads (warm butter bean salad with spring onions and maple mustard dressing), yummy mains (Mexican tortillas with peppers and beans) and healthy sweets (blueberry muffins made using rapeseed oil and skimmed or soya milk).
The recipes are simple and delicious and are ideal for those of us who just don't want to spend hours in the kitchen making healthy, tasty vegetarian meals.

This is the first Rose Elliot book I've had after getting it as a gift, and it won't be the last - The recipes are easy to follow and I've used the book loads - one of my favourites is the pasta with cherry tomato, feta and aubergine, so quick and so lovely! Can't recommend highly enough......

I'd stopped buying Ms Elliot's books as they tended to repetition of recipes sometimes. However, she has a new angle and new recipes, which have provoked interesting meals. Useful and good value. (And hoorah, no longer outdated advice to salt aubergines before using!)
