.Low-GI Vegetarian Cookbook

by: Rose Elliot

January 04, 2007
I'm not a vegetarian, but a vegetarian friend showed me her copy of this book, and I just had to buy it. Every recipe I've tried works fantastically well, and whenever I use the recipes to entertain, they are extremely well received. A number of my friends have now bought the book too. I'm definitely going to buy more of Rose Elliot's books.

.Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Meals in Minutes

by: Rose Elliot

January 03, 2005
Whilst probably not the healthiest cook book in the world (almost as bad as Nigela for the cream!) the receipes are simple, quick and tasty and also with a bit of imagination very adaptable. The chilli has become a regular meal in my house, sometimes with rice as suggested and other times with sour cream, avocado and extra chili in wraps and even as a base for a veggie burger!

I'm a veggie but my husband isn't and it is sometimes difficult to find meals which appeal to him and that I can eat but most of the receipes in this book suit us both and don't get the normal "yeah but it's just vegetables ain't it" response from him!

Four stars because some of the recepis are very similar and others are a bit too easy!

.The Bean Book (Essential Vegetarian Collection Series)

by: Rose Elliot

March 06, 2000
I first came across rose Elliott's Bean Book when I was at University and I literally taught myself to cook from it and survived on a very slender budget by cooking all her wonderful, cheap and tasty bean recipes.

My original copy was falling to pieces so I've just bought this new edition -- and i still love it! The warmth and friendliness of the book are very encouraging and the recipes are lovely.

.The Vegetarian Low Carb Diet: The Fast, No-hunger Weight Loss Diet for Vegetarians

by: Rose Elliot

December 19, 2005
I have had this book on my shelves for a couple of years now and unfortunately didnt look at it being more into the low fat way of eating. Ive been vegetarian for approx 20 years and have been putting on weight since a cholecystectomy 12 years ago. The key thing for this diet is that this book has enabled me to diet without feeling hungry - cravings are at a minimum. Weight loss wise the first couple of weeks I lost nearly a stone and loss has been around 2-3 lbs since then. While it requires some form of dedication from the dieter, the author has adapted low carb foods for the vegetarian/vegan diet amazingly well and with great creativity. This has helped me no end. I especially like the rice alternative and when you are needing a sweet treat ... Read More:

.Vegetarian Express: fast fresh food for energy and vitality throughout the day

by: Rose Elliot

August 09, 2001
I have a few recipe books by Rose Elliot (some from years ago, but more recently The Bean Book and Veggie Chic). I like her ideas, although at times they can become predictable. However, this is a good book and has some excellent quick meal ideas. Great for anyone in a hurry who needs to avoid yet another boring sarnie.

.The Vegetarian Low-carb Diet Cookbook

by: Rose Elliot

April 27, 2006
I often cater for people with certain dietary needs. One of them is vegetarian, on a low-carb diet and has a wheat allergy.
The veggie bit I'm used to, but the other stuff is tricky until you get this book.
It may not say it on the cover, but this is just as useful for somebody on a wheat-free diet (though not necessarily a gluten-free one) as somebody on a low-carb diet. Since recipes containing wheat are nearly always high carb, they're not in here.
It seems like a bit of a niche product, this recipe book, but the food you make from it is just great food, like anything you'd expect from an experienced food writer like Rose Elliot. It introduces you to a few ideas you wouldn't try otherwise perhaps, but that can only be a good thing.

.Vegan Feasts: Essential Vegetarian Collection

by: Rose Elliot

September 18, 2000
The good points of this book are loads of info on nutrition, simple to follow recipes, easy to find ingredients, and it doesn't rely much on fake meats either, unlike many other vegan cookbooks. However, being a bit more experienced at cooking, I felt it wasn't really aimed at me.

While it's certainly more of a book for beginners and is therefore ideal for any new vegan, there are still admittedly few things, though not that many, that might appeal to a more experienced cook.

I have only given it 4 out of 5, because there really should be a subtitle stating that it is a book for beginners.

.Rose Elliot's Mother, Baby and Toddler Book: A Unique Guide to Raising a Baby on a Healthy Vegetarian Diet

by: Rose Elliot

November 10, 2003
I disagree with the review below on the child rearing parts of this book which I found very down to earth and sensible. As a mother of three I read this when pregnant with my first child and thought both the recipes (lots suggestions for adapting for toddlers) and other child rearing info useful. Rose Elliot suggests keeping toys in bottom drawers and accessible places and things you don't want broken out of reach - much bettr than not adapting your house and trying to say "no" to a difficult two year old I would have thought.
