"Lukas Volger reversed my veggie burger cynicism."--Martha Rose Shulman, The New York Times "Vegans and vegetarians (and others eating meatless) often resort to cooking frozen veggie burgers out of a box . . . [with Veggie Burgers Every Which Way], you can whip up the real deal: great-tasting colorful homemade variations with fresh produce, whole grains, beans, rice, bread crumbs, spices, and herbs. They will be as good as the ingredients that go into them . . . Appealing topping, side, dressing and bun options are included, too."--Los Angeles Daily News "One of Volger's best veggie burgers combines a variety of mushrooms and barley, combining foresty and nutty flavors you'd find in a wintertime wild mushroom soup . . . Try going back to eating one of those frozen soy burgers after that."--The Oregonian "Volger's excellent new book, Veggie Burgers Every Which Way, should not be thought of as just for vegetarians . . . it is the variety and creativity of the recipes that makes this new cookbook stand out. Recipes such as his Tuscan White Bean Burger . . . are sure to get just about any carnivore's mouth watering."--CBC News "Who knew shredded carrots or quinoa could be so deliciously molded into a pattie? And satisfy a dyed-in-the-wool carnivore."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "This is a small volume with a big mission: to up the flavor profile of this particular vegetarian genre."--Washington Post "Lukas Volger . . . elevates the vegetarian burger to its rightful status as real food."--Montreal Gazette "The world of burgers has just grown bigger, fresher, more colorful, and deliciously diverse thanks to Lukas Volger's back-to-basics approach to the veggie burger. Summer barbecues may never look the same again!"--Cathy Erway, author of The Art of Eating In and the blog NotEatingOutinNY "This is the book we have been waiting for, and perhaps you have too? A vegetarian and vegan cookbook that actually adds something to our groaning kitchen bookshelf. . . . The book is simply designed and very easy to follow. The mouth-watering photographs leave no doubt that great-tasting veggie burgers can look spectacular. Volger elevates the vegetarian burger to its rightful status as real, imaginative and fun food. . . . 10 out 10! Buntastic!"--Permaculture (UK)
