5 Stars Diabetic Meals in 30 Minutes — Or Less!
I purchased this book for my daughter who was dealing with gestational diabetes. The recipes are simple, delicious and healthy. This book should be on every busy cook’s shelf and used by anyone who wants to eat a healthy diet even if they don’t have diabetes.

5 Stars Simple and Quick
My husband was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes last year. It was a shock and I went crazy buying cookbooks on Amazon to help me deal with his new dietary requirements.

This cookbook is awesome. I’ve been working my way through it and have found the recipes simple (not a huge laundry list of ingredients) and sophisticated. On occasion they need a little salt (haven’t come across a recipe that asks for salt yet!).

My husband has been very pleased with everything I’ve done out of this one and always asks - what’s next? Can we try something new out of that 30 minute book?

Buy it - for the price - it’s totally worth it.

(by the way, there is nothing exotic about pumpkin seeds, peanut oil and oyster sauce - unless you live in a cave).

1 Star Disappointed…
Unless you live in town or a city, can afford to purchase countless ingredients in Miss Webb’s recipes from alternate sources such as health food stores or expensive grocery stores, don’t count on finding many of these ingredients in your average run-of-the-mill grocery store in a small town. These meals may take little time to prepare, but if you’re not in a higher income-bracket and you have a family to feed, you probably won’t like this book.

4 Stars Easy healthy cooking ideas
This book is true to its title. I loved that it listed some main “healthy” staples at the beginning of the book that everyone should have on hand. I also really liked the easy meal ideas at the beginning of the book for those nights you need recipes that will use whatever you have on hand in your cabinets. Some of the main recipes were a little more complicated than I had hoped. Still, overall this was an excellant choice and I know that I will use it for years to come.

5 Stars A kitchen staple
This is a terrific cookbook to have handy, whether you’re cooking for yourself, a whole family, or even for friends for a casual dinner. The recipes aren’t fancy, but they put things together in a way you might not think to do otherwise, or give directions for something you’ve been wanting to try but haven’t because the recipes you’ve found in other cookbooks have been too complicated. So far, I’ve found that if I make a recipe from this book once, it quickly becomes a recipe that I fix regularly, because it’s quick and I often have all of the ingredients in my pantry already — and even when I don’t, a quick trip to the convenience store or supermarket is all that’s needed, because the recipes don’t call for obscure items that require hunting down in specialty stores. Even if no one in your home/family has diabetes, this is a great, basic recipe book to have around for those nights when you’re feeling less than inspired to come up with something new on your own.

4 Stars VEGAN Cookbook - Not What I Wanted But Not Bad At All
WHAT I WANTED: A quick vegetarian cookbook I could use for our “veggie nights” 3-4 times a week and for veggie entrees on nights we have meat as a side dish.

WHAT I GOT: A very good but VEGAN cookbook with lots of recipes calling for mock meat.

PROS: quick-cooking, well-written recipes that come out the way they should.

CONS: Not clearly labeled vegan, most recipes call for mock meat

OVERALL: Not for poser not quite vegetarians like myself. My full-vegetarian heading towards vegan sister is loving the cookbook and even convinced my meat and potatoes parents to eat some of the recipes. Four stars just because it really should be clear this is a vegan cookbook.

5 Stars Best Cookbook I’ve ever bought
I read the 1 and 2 star reviews for this book and I understand why they did not like the cookbook. First of all, there aren’t any pictures. Secondly, it is a book for vegans and not for vegetarians. That being said…. quit complaining about superficial things! These meals are so easy to cook and delicious that I find I don’t miss the pictures at all. Also, even though this cookbook is for vegans, some of the recipes call for soy cheese. Just use regular cheese. If you’re a vegetarian, you should know how to modify dishes. My fiance is a meat eater and I’m able to modify ALL the dishes for him. This is a great cookbook! And none of the recipes take me more than 30 minutes to make.

5 Stars My new old-reliable
This isn’t a cookbook that I obsessively earmarked only to forget about it within weeks. Rather, I scanned all of the recipes to get a gist for the ingredients used, and neatly placed into my “regular-use” stash of books. No, I didn’t cook from it right away, but I knew I would return. And return I did … within a week in fact. It hit on a night (okay, these nights happen to me often) where we hardly had anything left in the fridge, I was void of ideas, and we had already eaten out far too much. I grabbed this cookbook, flipped through, and within seconds I had selected that night’s dinner - Chipotle-Kissed Black Bean Soup.

Though it merely used pantry items, this soup was a fulfilling hit! It used those canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (I bought a small can almost a year ago without a clue as to what to use them in), which added an extra layer of flavor that we truly enjoyed. The recipe did call for carrots, which my husband is not a fan of, so I used some leftover roasted sweet potatoes for an even heartier, yet equally delicious meal.

A few days later, it hit again, but this time for a different reason. I had some leftover coconut milk in the fridge and no cravings for a curry. But there it was … The Dark Chocolate Yum Sauce! My freezer was actually overflowing with dairy-free “ice cream,” and what ice cream isn’t improved even more by chocolate sauce?! Let’s just say, the name of the recipe sums it up nicely … rich, dark, and yummy.

In terms of the facts, “quick-fix” means you will spend 30 minutes or less on prep time and cook time together. There are some slow cooker recipes included, which do extend beyond the 30 minutes with the cook time, but the author felt that the incredible ease of throwing crock pot recipes together with no fuss warranted them some spots in this cookbook. A large percentage of the recipes are “from-scratch,” but she doesn’t hesitate to use shortcuts, including ingredients such as canned beans, jarred roasted red peppers, bottled barbecue sauce, and vegetarian sausage to keep all of the recipes as convenient as possible when “from-scratch” is just too time-consuming.

This cookbook hasn’t been in my rotation for long, yet I expect it will be “well-loved” (read: marked up, spilled on, and wrinkled pages from hurried used) in no time!

4 Stars Easy, flavorful recipes
I’m a college student, so I thrive on easy recipes that are easy, fairly cheap, and smell good enough perhaps to tempt my omnivorous roommates. Quick-Fix Vegetarian isn’t necessarily life changing, but I enjoy it nonetheless. I also love how she only puts “vegetarian” in the title, but all of the recipes happen to be vegan. I think this simple replacement does a phenomenal job of NOT scaring away ovo-lacto vegetarians. I definitely recommend this cookbook for anyone who doesn’t have the time/resources to cook a mind-blowingly complex meal every night, but likes eating home cooked meals.
