I bought this book almost nine years ago at a friend's urging, and it's never let me down! More recently this wonderful cookbook has helped me find delightful recipes to help me survive CRC (which is basically when Candida Albicans tries to take over your body). Without these recipes, my diet would be very boring indeed, and I surely would not be so far in my recovery. From quick meals to fabulous desserts, Vicki Rae Chelf has designed and adapted recipes that will become family favorites. Try the Oatmeal Burgers Deluxe, Oat Crepes, Wildflower Apple Crisp or the Fruit and Oat Squares and you'll see why this book is a "must have" cookbook.

This book will satisfy the philosophy and taste buds of those vegetarians who lean toward a macrobiotic or strict vegan dietary lifestyle. The new vegetarian , or that person wanting to incorporate some vegetarian dishes into a fast paced lifestyle, will find the recipes delightly easy and the results robustly scruptious. This book is a must have for any serious cook.

i picked up this book at a used bookstore and it has become one of my most essential favorites for vegetarian cooking. the recipes are practical and not too difficult, most are fairly simple but wonderfully flavorful and the ingredients are mostly wholesome, natural foods. while this isn't specifically a "diet" cookbook, i didn't feel the fat or sugar quantities were too high either in most the recipes. i did have the problem of the binding falling apart, but love the book so much i had it spiral-bound!(this makes it even easier to use, by the way) now when i need a vegetarian or vegan recipe, i run to this book first. (there are recipes with eggs and milk by the way vegans, but most are easy to convert given the appropriate substitutions!)

My book also fell apart within a day after buying it. Other than that it has great recipes. Not worth the price for falling apart though.

i turned to the page i've been waiting to look at since i ordered the book, and the spine is so dried out it fell aprt imediately. half of the contents fell right off the spine, so i basically have a folder with loose pages. what a dissapointment.
