I was fortunate enough to take a fabulous cooking class Kim O'Donnal taught at PCC Market in her home town of Seattle. It was a wonderful dinner based on the Meatless Monday movement utilizing the delicious recipes in her cookbook. Please trust me when I tell you the recipe for her corn bread alone makes the book worth the cost. Whereas some vegetarian cookbook focus on making you think you're eating meat by giving you some type of fake "meat", her focus is to use the concept of umami to create...more

So I've already admitted that I'm in need of some inspiration in the kitchen. Well another fact is that I love my meat. Steaks, chicken and more... I'm quite a fan. When it comes to fruits and veggies, it's not that I don't like them. After all, I adore zucchini, squash, portebellas, tomatoes, strawberries, etc etc, but when it comes to accessorizing my meat meal with them my average idea is a bag of frozen steam veggies. And trust me after a while that gets dull. Then, with all that in my mind...more
For those cooks looking to keep “Mr. Sausage” happy, O’Donnel recommends starting with a Meatless Monday routine (which, it turns out, is also environmentally friendly – you’ll have to read about it.) She’s got recipes for a tempeh hoagie, tofu barbecue and chick pea “crab cakes” designed to make you (eventually) forget about the real thing. We can’t say we’d be down with everything on the list, but the once a week meal concept is a good way to start for the uninitiated.
A great addition to the cook's bookshelf . . . at our house we're trying to do Meatless Mondays, so this provides us with some delightful alternatives to the pasta dishes or my other constant "go-to" vegetarian recipes that my family would actually eat. Did find the layout of some of the recipes, which spread out over multiple pages, a bit hard to follow with all of the flipping. A good resource, nonetheless!
I am really enjoying cooking my way through this book. The recipes are divided by season, which makes it easy to find a sizzling meal for a cold night and helps make good use of seasonal produce. The recipes are also grouped together by meal; main dish and sides all together, which I have found to be very handy.
I bought this book for my husband as a Christmas gift (a sort of "ha-ha" gift. I am a vegetarian and he eats a hamburger everyday.) I didn't expect to like it so much myself! There have...more

I loved the way she starts each recipe with a story and I took note of a handful of recipes to try. I have started one to two meatless nights a week as well and am always looking for hardy recipes to please my meat eating husband - This book definitely had a few!
There were some good ideas in here, but also a lot of filler (does anyone really need a recipe for grilled cheese?!) and a lot of "meh".
Recipes look good, but too long and fussy.
I haven't made any of the recipes yet, but they definitely seem hearty and satisfying enough for meat lovers. We definitely need more cook books like this!
