Perhaps not in 15 but at 30 minutes max you can dish up some fabulous vegetarian recipes with this book. I have loved every dish that I've tried and she keeps the shopping list at a managable length. I hope she writes a sequel.
I used to dislike cooking, but now...

I received this book a couple of years ago as a gift and it may be one of the best gifts I've ever received. I cannot recommend it enough. I've cooked nearly every recipe in the entire book and they've all turned out very well.
Maybe the best thing I can say about this book is that I didn't care much for cooking--nor did I know how to cook very well--when I first got this book, but it has really changed my mind. I feel that I learned a lot of key cooking skills from this book, in addition to picking up a few little extra tips that have added a lot to my cooking beyond the recipes in this book. Now I love to cook! These recipes gave me confidence that I could.
The techniques and the ingredients are simple, but the results are always good. The Meatless Mission Chili is something we often serve at parties (my meat-eating friends really like it) and the Pasta with Peanut Szechuan Dressing is a staple in our house.
The helpful hints that accompany each recipe (usually, a little tip about preparing or storing one of the ingredients in the recipe) are great. The nutritional information at the end of each recipe is a big plus, too.

Becoming a vegetarian is simply a matter of creating vegetarian habits, and this book makes it surprisingly easy, by offering a wide variety of recipes that really are exceptionally delicious, and remarkably easy to prepare. Paulette Mitchell really has won my respect, by creating a variety of very healthy meat-free meals, that are full of flavor, and richly satisfying. The appetizers are very tasty, the soups are savory, the salads are simply delicious, the entrees are mouth watering, and the desserts, honestly... will make your knees buckle! I've had this book for a couple of years now, and it's the bedrock of my dinner menu. I've got a few other vegetarian cookbooks, but "The 15-Minute Gourmet: Vegetarian" is the one I keep going back to for the best recipes, night after night. Bon Appetite!
