It's a widely held misconception that vegetarian cooking is difficult -- nothing could be further from the truth. By cooking with easy-to-cook grains like quinoa and couscous, as well other vegetarian staples like pasta, Asian noodles, and fresh vegetables, nothing could be easier than preparing a meatless meal. It's also a misconception that all vegetarian food is low in fat. A diet without meat is healthful, but this cookbook shows you how to cut back on the use of cheese and dairy products, eggs, and added oils, to create lighter recipes that better emphasize fresh taste. Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast, the first in a new four-book series, includes 175 delicious recipes in all.

The number of vegetarians in America is still on the rise, with no signs of slowing down -- 25 million at last count. And there's also a growing number of part-time vegetarians, people who eat meatless meals a few times each week for a more healthful diet. With so many people concerned about saving time in the kitchen, and eating a more healthful diet, there's never been a better time for Vegetarian Times Low-Fat & Fast.
