Are you and/ or you and your family resolving to eat healthier in . . .
"Are you and/ or you and your family resolving to eat healthier in 2020? Or, would you just sometimes like to have a good vegetarian recipe? If you answer yes, this will be just the cookbook for you. Recipes are divided into chapters on hearty soups, satisfying salads, loaded handhelds, bountiful bowls, perfet pasta, one pot wonders, comforting casseroles, center stage vegetables and breakfast for dinner. All of these appeal to me. The final chapter is on sauces and staples while the book begins with advice for meatless Monday. Some of this advice is about staples to stock, tools that are needed and also how to get children involved. There are so many recipes that I cannot list them all. Just a few include cauliflower wild rice soup, miso soup with shiitake mushrooms and ramen noodles and rustic winter stew. This only covers the soup chapter. There is so much more. All of the recipes are well laid out with clear instructions. I recommend this book to those who enjoy their veggies. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review. I plan to buy this book myself."

"I admit as a vegetarian of 30 plus years, I was skeptical about a cookbook called ""Meatless Monday. "" For me, the title conjured up images of clueless meat eaters creating vegetarian recipes with no flavor. I am happy to say that my worst fears were proved wrong. Although the book is based on the idea of substituting a meat-based meal with a plant-based meal one day a week, these recipes could easily be used seven days a week, as most of the main dish courses have sufficient protein to satisfy the needs of growing children and keep adults feeling satisfied long after the meal is done. This compliment unfortunately leads to my one criticism of the book, it does not include the nutritional information for each recipe. With this one exception, this book is a stellar addition to any kitchen. What I like most about this book is unlike many vegetarian/vegan cookbooks, the recipes are based on ingredients that most people will already have in your house or if not, can easily be acquired from your neighborhood grocery store. There is no need to launch a safari in search of exotic spices, grains, legumes, or vegetables from specialty stores. Better yet, these recipes are easy to prepare and many in fact require only one pot or pan, allowing more time for other activities after the meal besides cleaning. I know, because I have actually prepared a few of them. For those who have kids, each recipes suggests simple and easily accomplished ways to get young children involved in food preparation. And for those who have skeptical diehard meat eaters in the house, many of the recipes are vegan versions of familiar recipes such as sloppy joe's, mac n cheese, and beef stew. For the more adventurous, there are also Indian, Greek, and Thai inspired dishes. I would like to thank NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review."

"This really is a good book. I'm not a vegetarian but do like to make a vegetarian meal at least once a week. This book has lots of great recipes and best of all I found the ingredient lists to be quite minimal and mostly things that I would keep in my cupboards anyway. I am looking forward to trying some of these recipes over the next few weeks. I love the layout and simplicity of the book in general I definitely recommend this cookbook. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an advance copy of this title in exchange for an unbiased review."
