I have this book about 2 years now and it is defintely one of my favourites. It is extremely comprehensive and fun to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in vegetable cookery or a vegetarian. It is also quite vegan friendly.

Since buying this book at Christmas I have found it indispensible and use it week in, week out. Every recipe I have tried works and I have been introduced to flavour combinations that would never have occurred to me. It is well written and straightforward and I would unreservedly recommend it to anyone.

Only people without imagination need pictures in order to choose a receipe. The claim to fame may be misleading --it wants to include vegetarian receipes from all continents, but most are Asian or American-- but it is an absolute essential to all cooks, either vegetarian or those who do not entirely focus on meat or fish to concoct a meal. All possible ingredients are listed, from vegetables, beans and lentils, to various grains and wheat, from pasta, bread and rice to barley, couscous, corn and bulgur, from dairy to pickles. Every single receipe I have ever made out of this book has been successful, and it always turns out as fragrant and colourful, as the receipes may seem dull and matter of fact, without enchanting pictures to seduce you.
 Not as good as the reviews August 3, 2006

Very dissapointing. There is not a single image of the dishes. This book is not worth the price. I don't deny the fact that it is full of recipes and description of the main ingredients, but this is not enough, as we have know idea what the dish is suppose to look like. Just as in a restaurant or market place, I enjoy viewing the selection of food before me.

A phenominal mix of exciting recipies from across the world. Everything's included in here; there are dishes for parties, dishes for every day, side dishes, snacks, something for practically every occaision. The recipies are accessible and easy to create, you really get the feeling that each has been tried and tested until good results are almost certain.An awesome veggie cookbook if ever there was one.
