5.0 out of 5 stars Jo Stepaniak lives up to her reputation of vegan excellence!, August 9, 2004

This book has over 120 heart healthy, delicious recipes for vegans and non-vegans alike! Let me get this out of the way...my absolute, hands down, favorite recipe in this book: "Linguine With Spicy Red Garbanzo Sauce". The simplicity of the healthful ingredients was a real shock to me. I figured ok, another spaghetti recipe...It is so much more. Serve it with some "Cheezy Garlic Bread" and a spinach salad topped with "Tomato-Garlic Dressing". Do your palate and your heart a favor...With a mere 21 calories and 0 fat, this dressing packs a punch! Of course if you've been missing ranch, there is the "Classic Ranch Dressing" to try as well...so creamy! The "Moroccan CousCous" is authentic and tasty. I love it! "Garlic Infused Smashed Potatoes" are heavenly when smothered in "Golden Gravy". It almost seems wrong that there is 0 guilt associated with these dishes! Looking for breakfast? Try what is (in my opionion) a vegan's best friend...flax! The "Flaxjacks" on page 40 are a tasty way to start your day right. I like to top them with "Peanut Whip" instead of jam. "Tropical Style Museli" is filling and healthful, I love it with a dash of vanilla rice milk.
Of course there are too many recipes to review them all here, but I always save room for dessert...in this book namely the "Apple Crisp". Simple, traditional and stunning...a real crowd-pleasing crisp.
This book is chock full of recipes, 14 days of menus, information to keep your heart happy and extensive information on ingredients. I like that the grain section even offers pressure-cooker alternatives for most of the dishes.
Kudos to you Jo, you've done it again!

This book is excellent! All of Joanne Stepaniak's works are well worth the money. This book has variations of some of her previous recipes that are just as good or even better! Specifically, she has substituted flax and flax oil to make some previous recipes even more appropriate for those with heart/health concerns. The recipes in this new book are definitely NOT mere copies from previous books! I anxiously await Joanne's next book and will be first in line at the book store!

I was very disapointed in Stepaniak's new book, being a big fan of several of her previous works. There is very little really "new" here--and some old recipies repeated from previous books! The recipes are uninspired, and the work as a whole is not worth the money. Come on, Joanne, we know you can do better!
