5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Best vegan cookbook I've seen yet...., June 30, 2005

This review is from: 125 Best Vegan Recipes (Paperback)

I absolutely love this cookbook - I've tried other vegan cookbooks and have returned them due to their not being a single recipe I would ever try, with ingredients that are extremely expensive and tough to find even in my local natural foods store. This one is a rare exception - every turn of the page revealed a recipe I can't wait to try...pasta bake with italian soy sausage, peanut dip, spinach salad with strawberries and spiced pecans, sticky pecan squares, and a "kids" section with recipes *I* want to make for myself!

Each recipe also comes with tips for substitutions and suggested accompaniments. The authors have taken great pains to produce recipes that are easy and quick to make to fit in with a busy lifestyle, and tested on their own kids for "acceptability". This cookbook just about makes all my other cookbooks obsolete! FINALLY a vegan cookbook I can rave about!

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, user-friendly book, May 9, 2005

This review is from: 125 Best Vegan Recipes (Paperback)

As a mother who is always trying to add more fruits and vegetables to my children's diets, this book is a godsend. The ingredients easy to find in conventional supermarkets, preparer-friendly, fast, and delicious. The appetizers, soups, salads and wraps sections are especially appealing to families on the go. Unusually attractive, we've turned to the book for lunch and dinner ideas many times already. Check out the eggplant and olive dip, and the leek and potato soup!

I am a non-vegan, always on the lookout for cookbooks that have healthy recipes with pizazz. This one should be in your library-- lots of flavorful dishes in a broad range of styles for a broad range of tastes, not timid, full of character. You will use this book at least once a week.
