5.0 out of 5 stars great cookbook, quick easy healthy delicious recipes, November 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Single Vegan: Simple, Convenient and Appetizing Meals For One (Paperback)

don't let the the dearth of pictures deter you--this is a wonderful cookbook, even if you are not totally vegan. Especially good are the Tempeh-Sweetcorn Roast, Aduki Bean Casserole, and Tomato-Olive Spaghetti Sauce. I use this book almost every day. I hardly ever use any other cookbooks and was about to give up on them entirely until I found this one. Most of the recipes have been great and even the "worst" ones were okay. I haven't even tried everything yet because I love what I have eaten so far so much I get a craving for those recipes and make them instead.

The ingredients are almost all inexpensive and easy to find, plus there aren't a whole lot of perishables to purchase and waste. The ingredients include many of the foods that are anticarcinogenic, immune-system building, etc.

This book makes me enjoy being vegan. I feel priveledged to be eating this way and feel sorry for people that think that food has to be a dead animal and unhealthy to taste great.

I actually cook from this book almost every day (as long as I have some groceries in the house)after working a long day!

This review is from: The Single Vegan: Simple, Convenient and Appetizing Meals For One (Paperback)

I've never come back and written a review on Amazon before, but this book is so good - I just had to! I received the book for Christmas and tried a few of the receipes and loved them. This is my first week of following the "meal plan". The author makes it so easy to do all your grocery shopping and to cook simple, delicious meals. I am doubling everything and cooking for two. So far we have well enough for both of us plus leftovers for one or two lunches. When non-vegans smirk and say "ew, what do you eat?!" I am now proud to rattle off a list of gourmet-sounding recipes that sound enticing to even meat eaters, but are simple to prepare. The book is small (but has a 10 full weeks of recipes) and inexpensive - why not give it a try?

This review is from: The Single Vegan: Simple, Convenient and Appetizing Meals For One (Paperback)

For the single person or even a couple (just double everything), this is a great cookbook. It has weekly menues for lunch and dinner (5 weeks for summer and 5 for winter) complete with a shopping list in from of each week. This certianly makes meal planning a breeze if it is folowed!! All the reciepts are even in both metic and american measurements.
