Being vegan can be a chore sometimes - it's the best diet in the world, yet it takes such an effort to avoid the proliferance of animal products in this country! But Marie Oser makes being vegan easy - and fun - and DELICIOUS! I have worn out her two other books from use, and I enjoying this new one so much. Every recipe is so tasty, her books have expanded my menu incredibly! The Enlightened Kitchen is informative, too - jam-packed with details to help you make good eating choices. You'll love it!

I heard that the author of the fabulous "Soy of Cooking", Marie Oser had a new book the "Enlightened Kitchen". I couldn't wait to get it. I wasn't disappointed. It is a wonderful collection of flavorful vegan recipes that I can make myself. I never have had an issue with trying to find the ingredients because so many are now available in supermarkets. If I'm unfamiliar with a product, Marie's Englightened Pantry serves as a wonderful reference guide. One of my favorite things about the Enlightened Kitchen is the way the recipes are layed out. They are easy to follow and come together quickly. And the best part in my family loves them! My 5 year old likes helping in the kitchen and it is nice to know I have a collection of Marie's cookbooks that can assist me in showing my daughter how to cook healthy. Since the holiday's are right around the corner, I'm going to be giving the "Enlightened Kitchen" as gifts this holiday along with fresh baked Cranberry Walnut muffins, Chocolate Chip Banana Bread and the Pumpkin Raisin Breads to friends and family.

I have found Marie Oser's recipies to be much better than gourmet restaurants. This book is better than great. The food is delicious and the recipies are simple enough for my brown-thumb of cooking.

I have always been concerned about what types of foods I consume on a daily basis and what the impact will be. Now with Marie's new book and these additional recipes, I can continue to prepare delicious menus and know I am putting the best products and ingredients into my blood stream. Her recipes are excellent with very little or no fat and no cholesterol. Wow! It is amazing that she continues to produce these award winning dishes that you can make for pennies on the dollar which are so good for you. Thank you Marie. I feel terrific!!!

I am proof that vegan cooking is not always healthy! But i was looking for a healthy book and after watch marie oser od vegtv i decided to get her book. Her cooking is so great! Most of her recipes and fast and moderatly easy. You should know how to cook alittle. In the begining she gives information on a healthy diet and the link to disease. All the stuff i am very well aware of, but a nice touch for those you don't know. The only mistake was not putting either vegetarian or vegan in the title. It doesn't show up on the vegetarian cookbook search. But he cookbook is completely vegan! She puts tofu is almost everything, but you can't tell. Her crepes where unbelievable, and my mom liked them more than my pancakes. Her desserts are even healthy and taste good too. She uses wheat pastry flour and soy flour alot but that can be found at most heath foods. A good mix of recipes! And if you can't find some ingredients there is a chapter on where to find them. I can't wait to keep using this book... so i can eat well!
