Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast Mexican

Rating:
Summary: Not the best but better than the rest!
Review: Definitely helped me get started on a few basic ones. Some salsa tips are great. I had a hard time finding some of the ingredients though. All said and done, it's a good value for money.

Summary: This book is a keeper
Review: I disgree with the reviewer from NYC. I've been cooking out of this book for a couple of months now and find the recipes easy and very tasty. Even my 17-year-old stepson really likes them. I've prepared Calabacita Vegetable Burritos, Eggplant and Red Bean Chilaquiles, Tamale Bean Pie, Portobello Burritos with Spinach and Goat Cheese, and Baked Tempeh Chilaquiles. OK, so they all don't take less than 30 minutes to prepare. I guess that's because I choose to chop, slice, and dice the veggies myself rather than use a food processor. I'm happy if dinner is on the table an hour after I get home from work

The other books in this series are also good--Low Fast and Fat and Low Fast and Fat Pasta. I also got the Low Fat and Fast Asian, which is a disappointment because it has so many weird ingredients that you can't pick up at the grocery store.

But try the Low Fat and Fast Mexican--you'll like it!

Summary: This book is a keeper
Review: I hate to say this because I usually really like VT recipes and cookbooks, but this one let me down. After trying several of the relatively time consuming recipes, I had to admitt that I really didn't like what I was eating. The food just did not taste good. In the end, I gave up. When I want Mexican food, I know a great vegetarian-friendly place in the Village.

Summary: Excellent cookbook for fast, low-fat Mexican food!
Review: This is terrific cookbook! After reading the reviews below I had mixed fellings about spending the money on this book, but I am glad I did! Our family has tried numerous recipes from the cookbook and each one has been excellent. The ingredients and measurements are right on the mark and each dish leaves you wanting more. The Calabacita Vegetable Burritos, Mexican Rice and Peas, Vegetable and Brown Rice Burritos, and Risotto Burrito with Sweet Potato were excellent. Even my husband asked for seconds which is saying at lot! Try this book...you will enjoy it!
