What Others Say
great book for those who didn't know they could cook
This cookbook is my current favorite. It's like music; in each section, the author creates a theme and variations upon it. There is a core recipe with at least four different versions that taste completely different. In doing this, it manages to give you great ideas for what ingredients you can swap to make something new without having to learn a new skill set for each recipe. I have made the parmesan & basil drop biscuits, broken lasagna with cherry tomatoes, salsa verde and two smoothie recipes, and each has been easy to make with simple 3-step instructions and delicious every time. Cook 1.0: A Fresh Approach to the Vegetarian Kitchen hasn't left my kitchen counter since I got it last week! I plan to make just about everything in here.
GREAT FOR ANYONE
This is great for anyone especially those who want to try to eat vegan. It is simple with variety of options offered for each created dish! This is a keeper.
Brilliant!!!
I first discovered Heidi on her website 101cookbooks when I was looking for gluten free recipes. From there I discovered she published two books: this one and Super Natural Cooking. I bought both.
Cook 1.0: A Fresh Approach to the Vegetarian Kitchen is, simply put: BRILLIANT. She takes the book and breaks it up into sections such as main dishes, side dishes, desserts, beverages. But that is as traditional as she gets. In each section she covers one type of food and gives you several ways of preparing it. For example, she does a section on panini sandwiches. She will introduce what the panini is, tips for cooking (such as what type of bread to use), then she will have two or more pages of different panini sandwiches such as brie/apple/ cranberry/"fake" bacon.

great resource
Cook 1.0: A Fresh Approach to the Vegetarian Kitchen is great for foodies & those who need to tackle the challenges of being vegetarian. great ideas, easy to read, easy to implement, just an excellent resource for your cookbook library.
Wish she had more books...
I know she does in fact have one other book that I also own. Cook 1.0: A Fresh Approach to the Vegetarian Kitchen is great for basics - you're encouraged to be creative. Also, great to find a vegetarian book that can so easily be adapted to meat eaters as well and doesn't rely on tomatoes or peppers or squash for every recipe. You'll find great biscut recipies, pot pies, etc., and dialogue for each recipe grouping. Her other book, "Super Natural Cooking", is my favorite - same reasons, different style of book completely. Cook 1.0: A Fresh Approach to the Vegetarian Kitchen is definitely versatile and very usable.
