 This does exactly what it says on the tin. May 17, 2008

Whilst probably not the healthiest cook book in the world (almost as bad as Nigela for the cream!) the receipes are simple, quick and tasty and also with a bit of imagination very adaptable. The chilli has become a regular meal in my house, sometimes with rice as suggested and other times with sour cream, avocado and extra chili in wraps and even as a base for a veggie burger!
I'm a veggie but my husband isn't and it is sometimes difficult to find meals which appeal to him and that I can eat but most of the receipes in this book suit us both and don't get the normal "yeah but it's just vegetables ain't it" response from him!
Four stars because some of the recepis are very similar and others are a bit too easy!
 Bland recipes March 17, 2008

I love food. In fact, to me, there's no point in eating something unless it tastes good. I also enjoy cooking, but sadly this book didn't live up to my expectations and I was extremely disappointed with the results. The recipes, far from taking the advertised half an hour to cook, took a lot longer and some were fiddly and annoying to prepare. Furthermore, the end result was bland and didn't look anything like the pictures. Another point to note was that some of the recipes didn't even have pictures. Call me picky, but I like to see what I'm supposed to end up with (even if I fail). This book will be going to the local charity shop.

I'm allergic to nuts so alot of recipes have to be altered or ignored. The rest includes too many idiot recipes and not many new ideas.

I was very disappointed with this book. The colourful illustrations promised much, but every recipe I made was either rather bland, or else just tasted a bit odd. My husband agreed with me. In the end, we gave the book away to a charity shop.
 Absolutely brill and doesn't break its promise of quick meals! October 23, 2006

This is a brilliant cookbook, and I use it very, very frequently. The meals in here are really delicious and Ms Elliot combines ingredients in ways that I never imagined were possible, or simply too frightened to try. Some of my favourites are tomato and avocado pasta; couscous, tomato and mint pita breads; and the green bean, avocado and cashew nut salad. Making the tomato and avocado pasta was actually the first time I had bought and eaten an avocado (I'm NOT joking!) - and now I eat at least 2 per week after realising how versatile they are.
Rose Elliot has also introduced me to halloumi for which I am eternally grateful - her combination of it with coriander and tomato salsa and courgette made me wish I had discovered it far sooner. This is my favourite dish ever! I also never tasted goat's cheese before I tried the butternut squash and goat's cheese gratin from the book, and what a godsend - rarely have I tried anything so tasty yet also quick and easy to prepare.
But the food is not just tasty - as promised on the cover, it is quick to make and most of it will be made and consummed greedily in about 30 minutes. Needless to say, this is the only book I use on weekday cooking. Vegetarian Meals in Minutes is the easiest and quickest way to wipe out the bore from your traditional "pasta with stir in tomato sauce" veggie meals.
