1.0 out of 5 stars No no no, June 9, 2007

Queen Vee (WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vegan: Over 90 Mouthwatering Recipes for All Occasions (Paperback)

This book has way to many ingredients that the average vegan would not have sitting around in the pantry. Perhaps a gourmet vegan might, so take this into account. I was excited to buy this book until I went through and marked the recipes I might cook. There were only 3 that sounded even remotely tasty and/or used basic ingredients. And these 3 recipes are very similar to what you can find in any other basic vegan cookbook. It's very frustrating to see a recipe and realize you would have to purchase nearly all of the supplies for that particular recipe. Rather than this book, I would recommend Vegan Planet, Vegan With a Vengeance, or How it all Vegan. These cookbooks are much easier to cook with without doing any major shopping first.
