Fast Vegetarian Feasts

By Martha Rose Shulman
Main Street Books - 1986

October 28th, 2010

This is a very good vegetarian cookbook. I would certainly consider it for my Desert Island cookbook shelf. The pressed tofu recipe is worth the price of the book.

Shulman defines "fast" as recipes that can be made in 45 minutes or less. My working definition was usually 30 minutes, since I know kitchen time often expands beyond the time planned. There are quite a few recipes here that will take more than 45 minutes, including a chapter on "Recipes for the Sunday cook".

Nevertheless there are a lot of tasty recipes and good menu suggestions here.
