Book Reviews of Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet

Book Review: "Gourmet" should have been left out of the title
Summary: 3 Stars

These recipes may be simple to make and pretty cheap as well, but many of them are mediocre or downright bland. You can tell just by looking at some of the recipes that there's not much flavor. There are a few keepers, such as the Marinated Beans (canned beans, parsley, scallions, vinaigrette, pepper), Black Bean Salad with Feta and Peppers (black beans, red bell peppers, vinaigrette, parsley, feta or goat cheese), Baked Barbecue Tofu and Peppers (tofu, bell peppers, onion, barbecue sauce), and Black Bean Burritos (tortillas, onion, black beans, green chiles, olive oil). Most of the other recipes I've tried are things I would not make again, and many of the recipes I would never make because they just don't appeal to me. The recipes are pretty healthy for the most part, though some of them call for the processed vegetarian "fake meat" products that I try to stay away from. This cookbook might be handy for those without cooking skills, those with very small kitchens, or those on a tight budget. I wouldn't recommend it to others. There are many other vegetarian cookbooks out there that are much better than this one. If you're looking for quick and simple recipes, I'd recommend Donna Klein's "The PDQ (Pretty Darn Quick) Vegetarian Cookbook" or Joanne Stepaniak's "Vegan Deli" over this one.
