Vegetarian fast food - By: Elfo, 08 Oct 2008 
Just what I was looking for: healthy recipe ideas for packed lunches & light evening meals that don't require too many fancy ingredients or time to put together (the pitta pocket fillers are handy).
I'm not really a dessert person, but the quick, tasty recipes have made me realise I don't have to be baking pastry & doing fiddly toppings for hours.
If you love spending timein the kitchen this book is NOT for you!
This does exactly what it says on the tin. - By: Wise Woman, 17 May 2008 
Whilst probably not the healthiest cook bookin the world (almost as bad as Nigela for the cream!) the receipes are simple, quick & tasty & also with a bit of imagination very adaptable. The chilli has become a regular mealin my house, sometimes with rice as suggested & other times with sour cream, avocado & extra chiliin wraps & even as a base for a veggie burger!
I'm a veggie but my husband isn't & it is sometimes difficult to find meals which appeal to him & that I can eat but most of the receipesin this book suit us both & don't get the normal "yeah but it's just vegetables ain't it" response from him!
Four stars because some of the recepis are very similar & others are a bit too easy!
Bland recipes - By: Clare Chapman, 17 Mar 2008 
I love food. In fact, to me, there's no pointin eating something unless it tastes good. I also enjoy cooking, but sadly this book didn't live up to my expectations & I was extremely disappointed with the results. The recipes, far from taking the advertised half an hour to cook, took a lot longer & some were fiddly & annoying to prepare. Furthermore, the end result was bland & didn't look anything like the pictures. Another point to note was that some of the recipes didn't even have pictures. Call me picky, but I like to see what I'm supposed to end up with (even if I fail). This book will be going to the local charity shop.
blah - By: Jaq, 29 Dec 2007 
I'm allergic to nuts so alot of recipes have to be altered or ignored. The rest includes too many idiot recipes & not many new ideas.
Disappointed - By: Alys Crowley, 03 Aug 2007 I was very disappointed with this book. The colourful illustrations promised much, but every recipe I made was either rather bland, or else just tasted a bit odd. My husband agreed with me. In the end, we gave the book away to a charity shop.
