Good, mostly-simple recipes.
Rating:
Not as many recipes in here as I'd hoped, but still not a bad selection.
Easy, vegan recipes
Rating:
I really like this book. The recipes are easy, and they are all healthy recipes, which is ideal for anyone interested in eating food that tastes good and is healthy. I liked the variety also; main dishes, sandwiches, comfort foods, snack foods, --all with a healthy, vegan twist. It's even humourous:) BTW--There are also a lot of vegan deserts in the book as well, but even if they have nutrients that the traditional deserts have not--it's still junk food--and the chocolate chip cookies are too good to resist! Beware!
The only down side with creating these delicious meals may be finding the ingedients. I live in rural, North America, and although I can find plenty of tofu, whole wheat, vegan cheese and much of the ingredients listed at my local health food store--I am not ale to get much vegan "meats" that are called for in the book; such as vegan chicken, bacon etc. If I wanted to be strictly vegan--I think I would need more access to these food items. (I don't feel like driving two hours or subscribing to an overpriced mail-order supermarket to get these things!)
Overall, I'm glad that I have tried something new--vegan cooking. Tofu scrambled non-eggs really is yummy and satisfying! Since I bought the book, I use the recipes on a regular basis, and am able to substitute many vegetables for some of the vegetables in the recipes. I am not a strict vegan, I would eat honey, for example, but since I have bought the book, I am mainly vegan now.
Bon Apetit!
Education or Titillation?
Rating:
Many reviews of these books stated that they were humorous and irreverent. But they should have read vulgar and boring. In spite of excellent advice on the "how's and why's" of a vegan lifestyle I wonder whether the price of a "cleaner" plate is worth having to wade through such garbage-mouth. Expletives such as" F***ing" have no place describing a salad. Get these girls a Thesaurus! In the subheading `Use Your Head' the authors state: "There is nothing uglier than a pretty woman that is nasty". Might I add - Oh yes there is! A pretty woman who for no good reason splatters her readers with unnecessary filth. If language that would get a movie an "R" rating and pointless profanity is your style, then this is the book for you. If not, don't waste your time here. There are better ways to become educated.
You'll be happy if your a VEGAN !

I had no clue this was all about Vegan food. I am sorry but I love my meat dinners. I was sooo disapointed with this book. However the company was great. Shipped in just a few days and in mint condition.
I love it!
Rating:
I'm really surprised at the amount of negative reviews for this. I suppose this book won't be useful for people who are already great at cooking, but prior to going vegan over a year ago, I had never cooked anything besides the occasional bowl of pasta. This book helped a lot, and I've made some really amazing meals from it that even my (meat and dairy eating) family love too. Even though a few of the reviewers here complain about the hard to find ingredients, I personally think the recipes in this book are way more simplistic than a lot of other vegan cookbooks and I rarely have a problem finding ingredients. Anyone who says that probably hasn't done a lot of vegan cooking.
There are a few recipes in this that I didn't care for - namely I didn't like the eggplant parm, Mediterranean pasta salad, or pancakes. But every other recipe I've tried from this book has been incredibly delicious and a big hit with my family. The lasagna is the best!
I'm so happy that I bought this!
