I'm still making my way through this one, but all in all I think it is better than his other book, The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen. That one has some amazing recipes, but pretty much everything in it has almost an entire page of ingredients, so it is not so practical.

This one however has lots of very simple recipes, arranged by season, and grouped into meals. I'm not super fond of this new grouping by meals thing that cook...more

It's painful to get a good cookbook from the library then have no time to read or shop for any of the recipes in it over the course of the fleeting time I'm allowed to borrow it. This is precisely what's happened to me with this book; I still can't decide if it's worth buying and having forever (or if Deborah Madison's fabulous books can't suffice in its stead)...

Great recipes - tasty and nutritious. Unless you have professional-level knife skills, though, don't except to be turning our these meals in under an hour. I like how the book is organized for the seasons, making it easy to use what's fresh and local. The meals are easy to prepare and quite delicious. This is one of my favorite go-to books for a yummy meal.

This is a nice pick-up for those interested in cooking and making whole meals centered around vegetables, rather than just vegetarian meals posing as regular food (veggie hamburgers, veggie tacos, etc.) The pictures are lovely and the recipes interesting enough to try. Lots of great bean & lentil dishes.

This has some great recipes, organized by season. They tend to be healthy and to use produce I ordinarily wouldn't use. So it's been a good way to get outside of my comfort zone and try something new, without having to hunt down obscure ingredients right and left.

I like the way this is organized seasonally- several recipes I return to over and over again- veggie pancakes- yum!- and good menu ideas. I will say it isn't totally a "fast" cookbook but not too involved either. Unlike his first cookbook, this one also has dairy.

OK, they may not all take less then an hour, but there are some great creative relatively easy recipes in here---this is one of my most used cookbooks. They are broken up into the four seasons, which I really like since I like to cook with seasonal veggies.

I love how this book is set up seasonally and how the recipes are presented as complete menus with shopping lists and timing recommendations. Try the tofu, mango, and black bean menu. I also love the mushroom risotte and kale/cabbage menu.

Great recipes, well written, great explanations. Complete meals with shopping lists. I like how it is organized by season, which encourages you to shop for seasonal produce.
