A comprehensive how-to cookbook – this is the perfect alternative to your non-vegetarian Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook or Betty Crocker Cookbook. Similar to the aforementioned classics, the most helpful parts of the cookbook are not the recipes themselves (which are relatively basic), but the coo...

Pretty much my go-to cookbook. I have most of Mark Bittman's cookbooks, and they never let me down! What I like is how simple the recipes are - and they are delicious! I don't think cooking has to be complicated. I'm not a vegetarian, but I do cook that way most of the time. Recommended, and no...

How to Cook Everything Vegetarian is, hands down, one of my favorite cookbooks. The book itself is large, stuffed full of delicious and easy to follow recipes.

I love Mark Bittman's cooking style. His way of thinking about recipes (as a template with infinite variations) just makes sense to me. I got this after I'd been using How to Cook Everything for a year or two, and there is some overlap between the two. There is enough difference, though, to make it ...

This is an amazingly comprehensive book! My two favorite things about it are: 1)The TRUE simplicity of many of the recipes. Just a handful of ingredients you have on hand and can throw together for something healthy and tasty.2) Many of the recipes can easily be converted to vegan. He even gives va...
