Vegetarian and More: Versatile Vegetarian Recipes with Optional Meat Add-Ins

by Linda Rosenweig

According to a recent survey, 14 million Americans call themselves vegetarians. Of that, only 2 million eat no animal meat whatsoever. The remaining 12 million are "part-time vegetarians" who eat fish, poultry, or red meat on occasion. For this large and growing group, Linda Rosenweig offers a cookbook to satisfy vegetarians and non vegetarians alike.
Rosenweig's experience stems from years developing recipes for Weight Watchers , Prevention , and Good Housekeeping magazines. Her 225 vegetarian recipes in Vegetarian and More! include "Quick Conversions," allowing readers to easily add meat, poultry, or fish to some or all of the recipe. These are especially convenient for "split households," where only a few members are vegetarians. The focus is on only common, store-bought ingredients are used, and most of the recipes are ready in less than 45 minutes. The book also features the new Vegetarian Diet Pyramid from the American Dietetic Association. Vegetarian and More! allows those eating less meat, vegetarians, and meat lovers total satisfaction.

Each non-vegetarian option just features a bit of cooked meat thrown in at the end. No real interesting vegetarian meals either.

Returned to this book for the memorable kale and black-eyed pea dish (sweet and spicy) Great for leftover kale.

I like this cookbook. Her ideas on making the recipes vegetarian/non-vegetarian is a good idea. I don't like so much that most of the recipes require a dairy product to make them interesting.
