 mag review February 24, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My husband and I have been vegetarians for a year now and have loved every minute of it. We both feel healthier. With the recent meat recalls we are so glad we went "veggie". This process has been made easier with this magazine. Great receipes, easy to follow and taste good. Some you would not know you weren't eating meat, all you do not miss it. It would have been a lot harder going "veggie" without this mag. Lots of other info too, not just food.

Vegetarian since 1980, Vegan since 1990. Loved this magazine back then, when it really was a monthly treat for us. Read it cover-to-cover the moment it arrived in my mailbox.
Then it changed. Suddenly, few, if any, vegan recipes. The "vegetarian" ones started to contain fish! LOL, since when did fish be considered plant food? Unbelievable. After calling and writing to deaf ears and blind eyes, I let my subscription expire.
Now it isn't even published monthly? Just nine issues for a one-year subscription? Sheesh. Sad.
Two stars for omnivores to begin an exploration of cruelty-free eating, but it is no "bible". Read anything by John Robbins, especially, "Diet for A New America". That is what made me go vegan. Yes, he was to be heir to the Baskin-Robbins fortune, but he forsake that.
God Bless you, John, and thank you for making a delightful difference. Diet for a New America
A great source of veggie/ vegan recipes, health, and lifestyle info September 2, 2007

After admiring Vegetarian Times on magazine racks for countless months, I finally took the plunge and ordered a one-year subscription. VT features numerous helpful product reviews, vegetarian / vegan recipes, health info, interviews, and a spotlight on green restaurants and businesses around the country. The Carrot & Stick section gives kudos to earth-friendly businesses and institutions and shines a light on animal rights violators. For me, this helps me decide which companies will receive my business based on their track record on environmentalism, recycling, and animal rights.
The biggest downside is the amount (and size) of advertising; the already-thin monthly issues feel like they're 50% full-page ads targeted at vegetarians / vegans. This definitely detracted from an otherwise artistic, well-laid-out magazine. Personally, I feel that full-page ads are redundant in the Internet age; I'd much rather have a list of advertisers' products / websites at the back of the magazine, although I realize that advertising revenues are an essential evil inherent to the business.
Many of VT's monthly recipes are ethnic in nature; I was pleasantly surprised to see that the September issue featured vegetarian makeovers of several High Holy Days standards such as Mock Chopped Liver, Noodle Kugel with Caramelized Apples and Raisins, Sephardic Stufffed Cabbage, and Chocolate Apricot Rugalach. It's really rare to find Jewish vegetarian recipes in mainstream magazines, so I greatly appreciated the inclusion (for more Jewish vegetarian ideas, check out Olive Trees and Honey: A Treasury of Vegetarian Recipes from Jewish Communities Around the World and The Jewish Vegetarian Year Cookbook).
VT's recipes, many of which can be adapted to vegan, use common ingredients and are within the realm of weeknight preparation; I haven't found many recipes that rated "too health-foody" or "just plain out there." Vegetarian Times is an excellent investment for today's vegetarian or vegan, and even for those questioning carnivores who are looking to add more fruits and veggies into their diets.
Great for Non Vegetarians too June 16, 2007

I got this magazine to help give me more ideas on how to cook more veggies. I absolutely LOVE it. They have such great recipes in every issue. I am never disappointed. And its not chocked full of ad's, as some of those other more well known magazines are. If you're tired of eating the same veggies, cooked the same way, then you should give this magazine a try.
