I was very disappointed with this cookbook of so-called "simple" vegetarian recipes. While there is good information in the introduction of the book such as 'How to Get Your Protein' and a source guide for getting unusual ingredients online, most of the recipes required some ingredients that are either not stocked in my pantry or not available at all in stores where I live.

I don't consider these recipes simple when:
1) Ingredients aren't normally on hand
2) They can't be purchased locally or
3) They must be purchased online, therefore having to wait to even try most recipes. Not to mention the extra money spent on them.

I thought simple means easy! This was the deciding factor that made me choose to get this book.

The book is attractive enough, although the font is small, but had I known the recipes were more for someone that is either a chef or has enough time and energy to cook for a while, I would never have gotten it. Had I picked this up when I first became a vegetarian twelve years ago, it might just have turned me off the whole thing. Also, it would have been nice to include a glossary for the unusual ingredients and a substitute chart for more easily found items to replace them. I shouldn't have to go online to research so much just for a cookbook. I do appreciate having vegan desserts included, as I am trying to eat less dairy.

I'd advise anyone interested in buying this cookbook to either get it from the library first or browse through it at a bookstore. I have a feeling this will be one that gathers dust more often than not.
