highly recommended

Time after time, this cookbook comes through!

I am not a vegetarian, but my fiance is and I'm not complaining! I certainly eat a lot more vegetables now than ever before and if I can just get the tendency to overdose on carbs under control, all will be well. But another great thing is that I have the opportunity to explore a whole new world of cooking, one of my favorite hobbies.

As such, I've bought several vegetarian cookbooks in recent months-- I found recipes that I like in all of them, but by far, my favorite is The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook. Time after time, I picks something out of this book and give it a shot and it turns out delicious. Usually I have whatever it calls for in the cupboard-- not a whole lot of fancy things required here. The meals are normal, filling and feel like nothing special. That may sound bad, but it's not. Sometimes it's nice to just have everyday dinner without thinking about how vegetarian it is. This book is a great one for the non-gourmet vegetarian. Highly recommended.

Fantastic cookbook for Vegans AND Vegetarians

I really like this cookbook and use it just about every week.
There is a great variety in here and every recipe can be adapted for Vegans like myself. There are great entrees,dips,desserts,appetizers, you name it.
The five spice oatmeal cookies are a favorite in my home as well as the mexican casserole. Most of the recipes require ingredients you can easily find at your grocery store.
I highly recommend this cookbook, I bought it for five dollars new and it was well worth it!

Hearty meat-free main courses

Robin Robertson's Vegetarian Meat & Potatoes Cookbook includes salads, soups and desserts but is especially notable for its major focus on hearty meat-free main courses such as stews, casseroles, pot pies, and dishes which lie at the heart of vegetarian diets. Inspirations from other cultures from India to Italy enhance original creations.

The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook

This is the cookbook all us vegetarians have been waiting for, and it's also a great way for non-vegetarians to get started on making healthier dietary choices! Bravo Ms. Robertson! I also find that it helps when I want to make a meal for a mixed group of eaters, even the carnivores love these dishes. So, I imagine it would also be a good choice for a family whose members aren't all vegetarian. Everyone'll be happy and as a mom you'll never have to hear "OH MOM NOT TOAD-FOOD AGAIN!!!" :)

PERFECT for entertaining omnivores &/or reluctant vegetrians

Although I usually frown on reviewing cookbooks w/o first trying the recipes, this one is an exception. The recipes are varied and designed to appeal to omnivores and reluctant vegetarians -- and thus perfect for entertaining. (They're also very clearly written.) The author explains that she has been a vegetarian for over 30 years, and in 1971 married a meat-and-potatoes man who hasn't changed his menu preferences, but is a strict vegetarian -- i.e., who eats the type of recipes in this book, which were designed to appeal to omnivores. They're appealing and varied enough to appeal to darned near everyone. My one and only complaint (and the reason I gave it only 4 stars) is that it mentions that some brands are better than others, but gives no hint as to which the author prefers -- which means that *I* will have to try umpteen brands to find which one(s) work in a particular recipe, when the author could easily have provided a starting point, at least giving ideas of what to look for . But that's my only quibble; I LOVE this book!
