Anyone who thinks that they could never give up meat will find true enlightenment in The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook. Eating vegetarian does not mean giving up hearty, filling, and, most importantly, deliciously satisfying food. Vegetarian cuisine is not often associated with indulgence, but in this book food writer, chef, and cooking instructor Robin Robertson provides recipes for hearty, soul-satisfying–yet surprisingly elegant–dishes that will entice vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike. Hoisin Eggplant Balls are a rich and flavorful appetizer, replacing that old standby, the chafing dish of little meatballs. In Compari-Scented Vegetable Stew with Fennel and Orange Zest, cured olives and chickpeas provide a substantial backdrop for a heavenly mingling of the more delicate flavors, resulting in an intense and sophisticated entrée. Ginger-Sesame-Glazed Portobello Steaks over Wasabi Mashers relies on an aromatic marinade to add complexity to these “meaty” mushrooms. Familiar comfort foods are also well represented: Mushroom Barley Soup, Flaky Potpie, Layered Vegetable Lasagne, and more. Even the most elegant recipes in the book are surprisingly easy to prepare, and each offers the many advantages of a vegetarian diet without depriving anyone of their beloved indulgences. –Robin Donovan

I enjoy Robin Millers’ show in The Food Network. I’ll use this book, even if it’s Robin Robertson……………

This is an excellent go to book for some vegetarian stick-to-the-ribs-and-warm-your-soul kind of food. Recipes are easy to follow, ingredients are easy to find, results are consistently great. I’ve got a couple of other cookbooks from Robin and she consistently delivers.

I received this cookbook as a gift about six years ago, and I have almost worn the poor thing out. It’s without a doubt my favorite cookbook that I have (and I have many), and I use it several times a week. At this point I have several of our favorite recipes memorized.
Regardless of whether or not you’re a vegetarian (my husband is not), this book is a must have.

I own a lot of vegan cookbooks and have owned this for quite a few years. This is the cookbook I use the most and the one I always refer to when trying to think up something new to cook. The recipes are very easy and always delicious….
Highly recommended….I wish there were a Meat and Potatoes II book–that is how much I like and I use this one.

The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook is really versatile and has many tasty recipes. The cookbook covers appetizers, salads, soups, stews, sandwiches, entrees and desserts. Even though it has the word vegetarian in the title, vegans will find that the recipes include tips on using substitutions to make them vegan, such as using ground flax seeds instead of eggs. Another good aspect of the cookbook is that a lot of the recipes aren’t extremely complicated and they don’t require lots of exotic ingredients. Finally, the cookbook really covers a range of flavors and cuisines. Some of my favorites from the book right now are the Bronzed Tempeh with Broccoli and Spicy Peanut Sauce, the Soy Stroganoff, and the African Sweet Potato Stew. I’ll definitely be trying more recipes from this cookbook.
