Veggie Burgers Every Which Way: Fresh, Flavorful and Healthy Vegan and Vegetarian Burgers-Plus Toppings, Sides, Buns and More

Rating pending. See bottom for a full list of recipes included in this cookbook.

This is an exciting little cookbook that was a delightful surprise. The author has worked in New York restaurants and it shows--for a book about just one thing, burgers, it certainly has a lot of helpful information. I also appreciate how he describes the recipes, sticking to what to expect from the recipe rather than mere excitement or antidotal information as many less professional cookbooks do.

==Recipes I've tried:
Armenian lentil burgers, p24 Tasty! But sadly crumbly. I ended up using it as a delicious "ground beef."
