Summary: Very easy recipes, no "advanced" recipes
Review: This book lives up to its name, the recipes were very quick and easy. Many of the main dishes and sauces call for tofu, which I am not a fan of. These recipes are great weekday meals, since they are so fast, and they make great left-overs to take to work for lunch.If you want an advanced vegetarian cookbook, look elsewhere. I enjoy cooking, and do not mind spending hours on a meal, so I still trying to decide on a "harder" cookbook. Any suggestions?

Summary: Makes Healthy Eating as Easy as Take-out (almost)
Review: This book makes cooking at home easy. Part of the problem with 'eating healthy' is that people think that it takes forever (and frequently it did!) This book makes it as easy to make healthy low-fat fare as it is to make a high fat meal... frequently faster. The book also helps you to understand how to use time saving tips...ie brown minute rice, canned beans to create delicious meals. Definitely worth buying.

Summary: Nice cookbook, accomplishes what it sets out to do!
Review: This is definitely their best recipe collection for supporting the McDougall program. It is also one of the few ALL VEGAN cookbooks out there so vegans who aren't into following the program will still appreciate the effort. The recipes were not hard to make and did not use any strange ingredients. They are pretty basic and should appeal to the average palate and the most basic of cooks. The goal with this book was not gourmet cookery, but simple, fast, effective, and relatively tasty food. I think that overall they achieved that goal and the time estimates for how long a recipe will take are pretty much accurate. The recipes are set up with lots of room to write your own adjustments in the margins, the illustrations are pleasant but low-key so as not to overpower the text. It is a nice size and lays flat, important to me with a cookbook! Small tidbit articles pepper the book for fun info, but those do not overshadow the recipes. Afterall, a cookbook is about the recipes, not anything else! The recipes are divided up into useful categories like "main dishes" or "bean dishes" so they are not hard to find. Often the other McDougall books seem to lean too much to southwest or tex-mex type recipes which can put anyone who is NOT a tex-mex lover off. This book has a better balance between different kinds of recipes -- italian, asian, mexican etc. MUCH better! But do look at the other cookbooks for more recipes or if you are a tex-mex fan. More advanced vegan cooks might want to skip it, since it is truly basic stuff, but it may not hurt to peek at it anyway.

Summary: The best cookbook I lost 40 pounds
Review: This was the first Mcdougall book I bought. The recipies take only 15 minutes or less to prepare and the taste amazing. If you buy only one Mcdougall book it should be this one. The ingredients are also very easy to find, unlike other vegetarian cookbooks that have you buying things only from natural foodstores. I ended up losing 40 pounds in 4 months by using this book and Dr. Mcdougall's other ones.

Summary: This book is the best McDougall cookbook ever!
Review: Unlike many previous McDougall cookbooks, this book has recipes that non-McDougallers will enjoy. Even my confirmed meat-eating husband has yet to find a recipe that he does not like! Most of the recipes are quick and can be made within 20 minutes, using ingredients that are mostly available in larger grocery stores. The book includes tips on purchasing different types of foods and cooking hints, as well as information on nutrition. It has quickly become the cookbook I reach for first
