This cookbook is no doubt a joy for devoted vegetarians. The recipes comprise an excellent collection of very low fat recipes aimed specifically for holidays. As many vegetarians know, it is extremely difficult to find no meat recipes for special occasions. However, these recipes are not only for vegetarians, but also for health conscious celebrants.
My only complaint would be that most non-vegetarians (such as myself) will find the recipes rather skimpy and lacking the hearty flavors of holidays. I personally would rather indulge during holidays and watch my health on the other days!
Whether it be used for holiday ideas or everyday meals, this book certainly has merit for certain cooks.

I am not a “good” cook and I don’t know a lot of good meatless meals…. if your the same then this book is for you! LOVE IT!
The only thing I have to say is hide the tofu in the frig! People have tofu issues!!!! I NEVER tell anyone it’s meatless or has tofu in it and they eat everything on their plate. If they know or see it has tofu they won’t eat it. What they don’t know won’t hurt them!
My Mom and Dad are meat freaks. Everything they eat is breaded, deep fried and fatty. I have made several meals from this book and the others by the same author and they have no idea. They leave saying everything was GREAT! Ha ha ha….if they only knew!

Often the most difficult meals for coming up with ideas are those for the holidays, especially when you are having non-vegan guests. This book is a great solution, not only for tasty creations that most everyone will like, but meals that are attractive and good alternatives to those that contain meat. I’ve made many of the recipes in this book and have never had a complaint on any of them. They taste good, presentation is great and everyone asks for seconds.
The other nice thing is that just because it’s vegetarian, it doesn’t contain a lot of high calorie ingredients. You can have a festive meal, knowing that its healthy. The recipe portions are large enough that nobody will walk away from the table hungry.

The Almost No-Fat Holiday Cookbook: Festive Vegetarian Recipes
This is one of the BEST cookbooks I’ve come across in a long time! I am transitioning to a vegan diet (while trying to lose weight) and this cookbook is contains 100% vegan recipes, all with 1g of fat or less–the best of both worlds!
When I first got the book, I started putting Post-It flags on the recipes I wanted to try, but soon found that nearly every page then had a Post-It!
So far I’ve made my own vegan soy “sausage”, soy “chorizo”, BBQ “nuggets” and a fat-free hummus. I can’t wait to try the rest! PS: Don’t let the “holiday” in the title fool you: these aren’t just “Christmas” recipes: there are recipes for Eid, Passover, Chinese New Year, etc.–pretty much for ANY time of the year!

Grogan’s book interested me when I realized that my roasted vegetable dishes and other items were adding too much fat in my diet. I have since tried a few recipes and absolutely loved them! They are creative; they work; and they are healthy. I don’t necessarily like the inclusion of textured vegetable protein, but I can use tempeh and other items instead.
