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.

This book has recently been reprinted and is available through major vegetarian charities as well as bookshops and Amazon - search again for best price as this vegan cookbook is available in Australia, UK, Canada and USA.

Vegan recipes from this Vegan Cookbook are available on the BBC food website.

There is a useful section at the begining of this book listing essential nutrients and their vegan sources.

The Vegetarian - "What stood out in this book was the delicious desserts, dispelling the myth that vegan puddings can only ever be bland fruit salads.All in all this is definitely a book that is worth buying"

Catering Manager - "As veganism suddenly explodes in the UK a new Healthy Vegan Cookbook by Hamlyn changes the face of veganism and proves self denial is a thing of the past."
