Summary: Perfect for the vegetarian wanting great tasting food!
Comment: This is the book for you if you want quick veggie foods without sacrificing taste. The recipes really work, not a lot of prep time, useful alternatives given with each recipe, great time-saving tips. We have tried most of the recipes, some becoming repeat family favorites!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Uninspired, Geared to novice cook, Not gourmet
Comment: If you already know how to cook, I wouldn't suggest this cookbook. Here's why:
1) many recipes were bland and uninspired (nothing was bad, but many needed intervention to improve/add flavor)
2) geared towards novice - not for the seasoned cook, and certainly not gourmet
3) recipes call for dried herbs - why not use frozen fresh herbs? Just as fast and WAY better taste. I buy fresh herbs and freeze them in water in ice cube trays, then store the ice cubes in labeled ziplock bags in freezer, and always have fresh herbs available when I need them. Now THAT's fast (and cheap) gourmet.
4) not enough diversity in recipes - many seem like variations of each other
MY TASTES - I've been vegetarian for ~10 years, and I prefer Mediterranean, SE Asian, Indian, English, French, and Soul food. (Read: lots of flavor, not afraid of fats or seasonings) So you should judge my opinion in context.

Summary: Excellent, easy recipes
Comment: This book provides a nice mix of tofu and non-tofu dishes that are easy to make with very few ingredients. The other plus of the book is that easy doesn't mean just combining two canned foods to make a meal, but rather emphasizes fresh (usually healthy) ingredients.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Super-quick food that delivers on Taste!
Comment: I've cooked over 40 of these recipes and they have all been easy to make and most of all delicious! I've been a vegetarian for 20 years, and one thing I've often hated about many vegetarian cookbooks is that a) the recipes take forever to cook; b) they call for a million ingredients, and often just one Tablespoon of something you'll never use again c) after all that effort, the meal is simply flavorless.
Well, there's GOOD NEWS TONIGHT with "The 15-Minute Gourmet"!
- Fast prep and cooking times
- Short ingredient lists with Things You Have in Your Kitchen Right Now!
- Tasty, Delicious Results that Your Family WILL EAT!
I can say that because while I am a vegetarian, my family does eat at least some meat. This cookbook is making it easier for him to "swallow" vegetarian cooking.
Highly recommended! Good food fast!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Short Lists of Ingredients-Thank you!!
Comment: 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.
