Vegetarian Times (1-year)
$44.91
We look forward to every issue. As some of the other reviewers have stated, the recipes are not always perfect. However, we find enough good recipes and ideas in every issue to make it worthwhile. Also, I tend to modify the recipes to suit my own preferences and fit with the ingredients I have on hand. So, if they "forget" to add salt or seasoning I like, I just put it in. That's the great thing about making your own food, you can make it how you like it.

Some of the recipes are quick and easy to prepare and turn out very tasty. Others take longer and have too many ingredients. After you've been cooking awhile, you can usually look at a recipe and get a good idea whether or not you'll like it. We treat this magazine like a buffet, we use what we want to and leave the rest.

We also have gotten a lot of good ideas on how to prepare food over the years. My mom, who is not a vegetarian loves using the recipes as side dishes.

It does have a lot of ads. That I really don't mind, it keeps the cost of publication down and many of them are either informative or amusing.

If you are really hardcore vegan, you'll probably enjoy publications such as VegNews a little more. If you are a vegatarian or like to eat like one sometimes, this magazine has many good recipes and articles.
