Lorna Sass' Short-Cut Vegetarian: Great Taste in No Time

Product Details

One of America's foremost vegetarian cooks reveals amazing shortcuts to dishes that are short on prep and long on flavor!

Instant classics. That's just what vegetarians in a hurry will find in the more than 100 amazingly quick, full-flavored recipes, like Moroccan Carrot Slaw and Thai-Inspired Red Bean Stew, in Lorna Sass' Short-Cut Vegetarian. Sheer culinary magic can be created from a pantry stocked with carefully selected prepared and instant foods, such as homemade curry powder, roasted red peppers, spicy salsas and mustard sauces, and roasted garlic oil. A splash of orange juice, a touch of cinnamon, and a few sliced leeks transform handy frozen spinach and a can of highest-quality lentils into an exotic Orange-Scented Lentil Ragout to satisfy the most sophisticated palate -- in minutes.





Vegetarian magician Lorna Sass pulls another carrot out of the culinary hat with this book. (Of course it's a carrot--this is a vegan cookbook!) This short and snappy book will wow you with Mushroom Barley Soup that cooks in 15 minutes, an almost instant Chickpea Curry, an inspired Vegetable Paella, Tortilla "Sushi," and more. In addition to the recipes, Sass names specific products useful for making speedy, tasty meals and recommends ingredients to keep in the pantry and freezer so there's always something to work with in the house. To prove that quick, good eating doesn't depend on recipes alone, Sass offers time-saving principles: adapt them and you'll quickly move from needing recipes to easily creating your own.

NEW EDITION OF THIS INDISPENSABLE BOOK JUST OUT! - Ravenous Fellow - Chicago
I'm not the only one to write this, but my copy of SHORT-CUT VEGETARIAN looks as if it's ready for the pressure cooker or stock pot through nearly constant use. But rescue is at hand -- Sass has just come out with a new edition, by its right title -- SHORT-CUT VEGAN -- and I've bought five copies (three to give to friends; one to use; one for the safe-deposit box). The same tasty recipes! Thanks, Ms. Sass!
