Beyond Rice Cakes and Ramen

Quiz time! Vegetarianism is:

A) strictly for humorless health nuts.
B) fine if you actually
like brown rice. I guess.
C) what? I wasn' t sleeping, I was resting my eyes. Can you repeat the question?
D) just kind of . . . normal.

You answered D, right? Meatless eating is healthy, inexpensive, ecologically friendly, and even hip. What's not to like?

But it's not always easy being green. The salad bar can get pretty uninspiring after a while, and you don't even want to know how much salt lurks in that can of tomato soup.

Enter the Carle sisters: Megan (the long-time vegetarian) and Jill (the skeptical carnivore) are the dietary divas of yummy, doable dishes for teens and young adults. In this new book (their fourth), they offer the tips, tricks, and tasty recipes they use to feed themselves and their friends in style--veggie style.

The Carles make cooking easy for cash-strapped, kitchen-shy vegetarians, starting with instructions on how to set up a basic veggie kitchen on the cheap. And they keep it simple with 90 recipes organized into student-friendly chapters, from "Cheap Eats" to "Impressing Your Date," "Dinner for One" to "Party Food," plus a desserts chapter packed with vegan options. Every page bursts with color photographs.

Whether you're sharing Pasta Primavera with your roommates, taking a Caramelized Onion Tart to a party, grabbing a Roasted Red Pepper and Avocado Wrap on the run, or buttering up your sweetie with Mushroom Ravioli,
College Vegetarian Cooking will break you out of the ramen rut--without breaking your budget.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Grad students, cookbook authors and sisters, the Carles (Teens Cook Dessert, College Cooking) present another approachable but uneven collection aimed at peers who are going vegetarian. Emphasizing familiar favorites like cheese enchiladas bolstered with green chiles and corn, Asian lettuce wraps, falafel and pasta primavera, the dishes come together without fuss or the need for arcane ingredients, ensuring the book gets plenty of use. Time-saving steps, like employing already-made wontons for mushroom ravioli and puff pastry for cherry turnovers or tomato tarts will help budding cooks build confidence quickly. That said, novices may find instructions frustratingly brief-those unfamiliar with caramelizing may well end up with a scorched mess instead of a caramelized onion tart, and there's little help in crafting one's own pizza dough. Greater light is shined, however, on procedures for making potato gnocchi and maki rolls. Pesto pasta may be a little light on the basil, and the reliance on cream of mushroom soup in Tofu Tetrazzini may give one pause, but the sisters' hits outnumber their misses.

    I am a poor, 22 year old college student who has recently converted to an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet. Given that the majority of my previous meals were with some sort of meat as the main ingredient, I realized that I would need help coming up with new, meat free meals. This cookbook has been amazing. Even if you are not a vegetarian, I highly recommend cookbook for delicious, cheap, meat free recipes.

    Jose's girlfriend:

    I love this book. I've been a vegetarian for 7 months now, I'm 18 and hopelessly lazy... (just being honest)so having an easy recipe book comes in handy. I've only made 2 recipes from this book: the homemade pizza, and the vegan cheesecake. and I've received many praises for the taste and quality of the food.

    Pros:

    It has pictures :D that is awesome... (note: not all recipes have pictures but MOST do)
    It tells you how to cook in a very simple way. (thats obvious since its a college cookbook...)

    Cons:

    haven't found any yet...

    I am not a college student. I am a busy person who wanted to try the vegetarian way and needed easy recipes to prepare quickly. I have benefited from these ladies' methods and have found every one of their recipes to be delicious and easy. They have included many tips about buying, basic preparation, and even the background behind many foods. It has been a happy 3 weeks of living without meat and I am not missing anything thanks to this great cookbook.

    Great healthy vegetarian recipes that are easy to follow and don't require expensive ingredients. I bought their first cookbook when I was in college, but I bought this one even now that I am a seasoned cook. It has great recipes for everyday week night cooking or for hosting a large group. I would highly recommend.

    I bought this book for my "newly found vegetarian" college son! He wanted a cookbook that he could use that would have some quick and easy recipes in it. Turns out, this was just fine for him and ALL of his friends. The recipes DO feed lots of people, with some leftovers. These are simple and economical that no college student will go broke getting these ingredients! He made us a peach pie from the book which was good, the only exception I had him do for me was to make a vegan pie crust instead of using the store bought one like the book suggests. Other than that, great book for college kids!
