The Teen's Vegetarian Cookbook (hardcover)--Krizmanic
Customer Review (rating=*****): "Judy Krizmanic's Teen's Vegetarian Cookbook has opened a world of simple, quick, nutritious and delicious vegetarian cooking. As a college student, it is often difficult to eat an exciting, well-balanced vegi diet, but this book has simplified many of these problems with her guide to dorm life. The "insanely easy" indicators often come in handy, too, especially during finals! People often approach me as a vegetarian and ask "well, if you can't have meat, what can you have?". This book answers that question with tons of delicious recipes that are simple and interesting. I especially recommend the lazy lasagna, even my meat-eating father liked it!"
