79 of 82 people found the following review helpful. Not quick, but good! By Kristi H Rarely do I have such success with EVERY thing I make out of a cookbook. And, I have so many cookbooks (mostly Vegan) - over 400 - that only a select few ever get used for more than a couple of recipes. (Note: when a woman with over 400 cookbooks tells you that this one is something special, you should sit up and take note! :) )But THIS book I've only had for a couple weeks and already I've made six things from it.Ok, let's just start with the cons, right off the bat, because there aren't many. I guess, technically, based on these, my rating would be 4 1/2 stars (only because, if we are being brutally honest, it sort of sells itself as a cookbook of weeknight meals, many of which take less than 30 minutes, and I have found that to be anything but accurate).1. In a perfect world, there would be a picture of EVERY recipe. There are many photos but I'd love to have one for every recipe.2. There may be a few recipes in here that are quick (30 minutes or less), but I've not come across any yet. Everything I've made has taken between one and two hours.3. Coupled with No. 2 above, the "easiest" of the ones I've made only involved two cutting boards, two bowls and two pans! Others involved much more. So, don't expect that your kitchen will be anything other than a giant mess at the end of dinner prep. But, the recipes have been good enough that I haven't cared. However, I don't have children under foot; for a family with young kids, I'd say that these recipes are NOT practical for everyday. Even for me they aren't always practical because I don't always have 1 1/2 hours to dedicate to dinner prep.On to the good stuff:EVERYTHING I've made, so far, has been really good to great! I would have served any of these dishes to company - and probably will in the future, at some point.I love that this book has such unique, eclectic, international dishes.This is what I've made so far:1. Mushroom Larb. This was the most time consuming and mess-makingest of the dishes I've made so far (it involved a lot of chopping). But I made it twice within a week, so you know it was good!2. Solet - this called for pearled farro but, since it said that barley was traditional, I used hulled barley, soaked overnight, and used extra liquid in the dish to compensate. This was SO good. At first I thought it was just gonna be so-so but it turned out to be a HUGE hit with hubby. The pickle garnish is a MUST! And, this tasted even better as leftovers. I mean it was GREAT cold, that's how good it was!!3. Jalapeno BBQ Tempeh Bowl with Grits - I used poblano here instead of jalapeno because I'm not a huge fan of the jalapeno flavor but, with the substitute, it was very tasty. I'm not even a fan of sweeter bbq sauces like this one but, even still, it was so very good (and filling!).4. Lemongrass, Bok Choy and Tofu Bowl - made this because I still had some leftover nappa cabbage (an option instead of the bok choy) from the Larb. This was SOOOO excellent! My hubby isn't a huge fan of tofu (he'll eat it but he would choose many other things first) but he (and I) agreed that this tofu was fantastic. The flavors were subtle but yummy. The straining of the sauce was a bit of a wrist breaker (because it was so thick) but it wound up being worth it :)5. Reuben Mac and Cheese Bowl - another, "seems straightforward but really packed a flavor punch" dish!6. Two-Bean Salad Bowl with Quinoa and Pesto Dressing - WOW! Just made this tonight! Here I was thinking it was just gonna be a simple salad with some basil punch to it. Oh my, this was such a complex-flavored salad and is totally company-worthy!I almost don't want to use any other book until I've tried everything in this one!! I love finding a book that can be relied upon to turn out great dishes, consistently. Yes, I've tweaked some of the dishes, here and there, but, compared to how much I tweak (overhaul) most other recipes, the adjustments were pretty minor.If you want a book for speedy Gonzales dinners, look elsewhere. But, if you are willing to put a little time in the kitchen, juggling a few different pans, making a mess, chopping a fair amount, in return for a solidly good meal that you could serve to company (and impress them!), then get this book!UPDATE: More Dishes I've Made from this Book:1. Mushroom Carbonara Bowl - This was very tasty, although I seasoned the mushrooms more heavily than it called for. And, next time, I'll probably add a little nooch to the sauce. I also added more wine to the veggies than it called for. And, I think next time I would add a little liquid smoke to the mushrooms as well.Note: the Indian black salt (kala namak) shouldn't be considered optional. It is pretty critical, in my opinion.2.Lemon-Caper Cannellini Couscous Bowl - YUM! I added a little extra wine to the saute, I believe. And, I added extra lemon juice and a couple drops of lemon oil to the sauce because I didn't have preserved lemons and, last minute, I didn't want to run to the store for them.I probably added a little extra chard and I KNOW I added extra parsley because I like to go heavy on the greens.This was so tasty. I just know it would have been tastier with the preserved lemons.Just thinking about it makes me want to make this again, very soon.3. Sausage-Style Tofu Bowl with Squash and Potatoes- the vegetables with the marinade were EXCELLENT! The Tofu was ok. Here's the thing, tofu that doesn't get marinated for a long time or fried and tossed in a sauce or some other strong treatment winds up just tasting like... TOFU. The marinade was yummy (although, I think making a little extra would be helpful so one could be a little more generous with it) but I think marinating the tofu OVERNIGHT would have vastly improved the taste. As it is, once you got to the middle of the tofu (and I sliced it more thinly than called for), it just tasted like plain tofu.4. Senate Bean Soup Bowl - Just made this and it has been met with rave reviews. Hubby (a meat eater) LOVED it! I was generous with my smoked paprika (used bourbon smoked paprika). I didn't have any sherry vinegar on hand (thought I did) so I added a dash of sherry and a little champagne vinegar. Also added a few faux bacon bits, some bacon salt and a few drops of cholula hot sauce. Mostly because I can rarely leave well enough alone :)5. Hungarian Cauliflower Soup Bowl - Hubby went nuts over this. I confess that I'm sort of apathetic about cauliflower. I can take it or leave it. Don't hate it but don't go out of my way to eat it. On the other hand, hubby loves it so I've decided to try to incorporate it more in our meals just to make him happy. Oh my stars! He loved this soup. I loved it too!! We were practically fighting over the last bowl. LOLAs per almost always, the soup was even better the next day. Shoot, this stuff was so good i even ate a little cold one time :)The only change that I remember making is adding an extra splash or two of vinegar. I probably added a little extra veggies and maybe more paprika.6. Congee Bowl - This is one of those things that you expect to be just kinda plain but hearty. But oh my we loved it! It was just starting to get cooler when I made this for dinner (not breakfast). Oh my goodness, this will definitely be going into the rotation.I used ALL of the broth to add back to the congee. I was generous with the ginger in the broth, because we love ginger.I'd say, don't add SLICED raw ginger to the top. I added minced raw ginger and that was bite enough. Also, next time, I'll probably make extra tempeh and garlic slices because those were really the shining stars, as far as the toppings were concerned.
22 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Just about 4 stars By SG The recipes I've made all have great flavor. The sweet and spicy eggplant & zucchini and pesto pasta are five stars; could not be any better and are fairly easy to make. The salads have great flavor and are well balanced, but somewhat dry in my opinion.The one main criticism is that the recipes can be a bit longer than half an hour - most require quite a bit of prep - and tend to use every pot and pan in the kitchen - along with the blender/processor. So they take a bit to make and then require a lot of cleanup.But all in all, these are great recipes with a lot of flavor, using regular grocery ingredients, that don't have gratuitous amounts of oil (like some other vegan cookbooks).
14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Great concept, hits some high notes, and a low. By L. in Hudson Based on the first two recipes I made (Thai Panang Curry Bowl and Sweet and Spicy Eggplant-Zucchini Bowl), I was so impressed I decided to start at the beginning of the book and make every bowl. Unfortunately, the first bowl recipe in the book - Paella Bowl - was a huge disappointment. It was very bland, although very pretty (and filling). I've never had traditional paella, so I went looking through paella recipes online to find out more about it. Most recipes call for a sofrito with onion and garlic, and also calls for chorizo. Based on that, I would at least add onion and a few red pepper flakes to the garlic, red pepper and tomato when sautéing those.The claim that many of the recipes "can be made in 30 minutes or less," is blatantly untrue for the three recipes I made. I would recommend going the mise en place route, although it uses a few extra dishes.Another potential downfall, is that some ingredients may be difficult to source depending on where you live. I found a couple of ingredients online, but had to make substitutions for a few others.I would recommend the book for the Sweet and Spicy Eggplant-Zucchini Bowl alone! It's delicious, and beats takeout any day! I can imagine it with a wide variety of vegetables, including grilled green beans or broccoli and tofu, for example.I would have given this book 4-5 stars after the first two recipes, but the paella recipe was so disappointing, I couldn't give it anywhere near that.Pros:1. Many of the recipes have beautiful pictures, and the finished recipes actually look as good as the photos.2. Easy to follow recipes.3. Each recipe is a complete meal.4. Make great leftovers, easy to put away in portion sizes for quick reheating in the microwave.5. Wide variety of recipes, using a variety of vegetables and grains.6. The Sweet and Spicy Eggplant-Zucchini Bowl is five star worthy. This is the new go-to Chinese recipe at my house.Cons:1. These are not all quick weeknight recipes. However, some recipes have steps that can be done ahead of time, making them more manageable after a long commute.2. Not all ingredients are easily sourced locally, especially in a small town. I visited three grocery stores (including an Asian market) trying to find kaffir lime leaves and Thai basil for the Thai Panang Curry Bowl, and ended up having to make substitutes for both ingredients.3. The paella recipe. Enough said.Overall, I like the cookbook and am very optimistic about it as I continue to make my way through all the recipes. I consider the book a good addition to my cookbook library, and love the concept of one bowl meals. Beautiful, simple presentations. It would have been useful if ideas for substituting difficult to find ingredients was included, and also ideas for what prep could be done ahead of time.
