Editorial Review:
This book will change the way people think about vegetarian food, a cuisine not usually associated with indulgence. Robin Robertson has developed 275 recipes for mouthwatering, soul-satisfying dishes that feed the hunger without the meat.
Anyone who thinks that they could never give up meat will find true enlightenment in The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook. Eating vegetarian does not mean giving up hearty, filling, and, most importantly, deliciously satisfying food. Vegetarian cuisine is not often associated with indulgence, but in this book food writer, chef, and cooking instructor Robin Robertson provides recipes for hearty, soul-satisfying--yet surprisingly elegant--dishes that will entice vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike. Hoisin Eggplant Balls are a rich and flavorful appetizer, replacing that old standby, the chafing dish of little meatballs. In Compari-Scented Vegetable Stew with Fennel and Orange Zest, cured olives and chickpeas provide a substantial backdrop for a heavenly mingling of the more delicate flavors, resulting in an intense and sophisticated entrée. Ginger-Sesame-Glazed Portobello Steaks over Wasabi Mashers relies on an aromatic marinade to add complexity to these "meaty" mushrooms. Familiar comfort foods are also well represented: Mushroom Barley Soup, Flaky Potpie, Layered Vegetable Lasagne, and more. Even the most elegant recipes in the book are surprisingly easy to prepare, and each offers the many advantages of a vegetarian diet without depriving anyone of their beloved indulgences. --Robin Donovan

I own this book, Vegan Planet, Carb Conscious Vegetarian, and Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker. They are all worth every penny. I am an uninspired cook who has purchased many, many, many cookbooks over the years thinking with each purchase, that this will be the book that turns me into a real cook. It hasn't happened yet, but when I cook from any of Robin Robertson's cookbooks I would fool you. I have yet to make anything from any of her books that hasn't drawn praise. Meat & Potatoes and ...

Rating: - The American cookbook of the future!
I began taking the vegetarian diet in 1970 after 22 years of the meat diet. I've been on all the health and taste adventures of this fun and benevolent cuisine and I grow ever more grateful as I grow older that I had the privilege and blessing of taking the natural diet of Mankind. "Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes" is the first cookbook I've found where every recipe is a tasty, and healthful success. And every recipe is familiar, like the non-vegetarian "comfort foods" of my youth, only better -time ... Read More
Rating: - One of the Best
Every recipe that I have tried is FABULOUS! Rich, tasty, great textures, variety, etc. All recipes are either VEGAN, or can easily be converted to vegan. Meat eaters love the recipes too! Easy, no obscure ingredients, and pretty fast to prepare. I recommend this book before all others (and I have most of the others!)

Since I received this book I have tried 6 different recipes and they were all keepers.
Rating:  - Very Good Vegan Cookbook
Hmmmmm......I would describe this cookbook as one that is very elegant and tasteful. It is full of thoroughly put together recipes. Think of it as food with a touch of class. I have stickies all through this book and use it on a regular basis. I highly recommend this book to all vegan and non vegan chefs. Try it you'll like it!!!
