5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Best vegan cookbook I've seen yet...., June 30, 2005

By	An Appliance & Healthfood Junkie (Saratoga Springs, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I absolutely love this cookbook - I've tried other vegan cookbooks and have returned them due to their not being a single recipe I would ever try, with ingredients that are extremely expensive and tough to find even in my local natural foods store. This one is a rare exception - every turn of the page revealed a recipe I can't wait to try...pasta bake with italian soy sausage, peanut dip, spinach salad with strawberries and spiced pecans, sticky pecan squares, and a "kids" section with recipes *I* want to make for myself!

Each recipe also comes with tips for substitutions and suggested accompaniments. The authors have taken great pains to produce recipes that are easy and quick to make to fit in with a busy lifestyle, and tested on their own kids for "acceptability". This cookbook just about makes all my other cookbooks obsolete! FINALLY a vegan cookbook I can rave about!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Staple in Your Cookbook Library, May 3, 2005

By	Dr. Richard F. Elmore - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a non-vegan, always on the lookout for cookbooks that have healthy recipes with pizazz. This one should be in your library-- lots of flavorful dishes in a broad range of styles for a broad range of tastes, not timid, full of character. You will use this book at least once a week.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Delicious Recipes, June 6, 2005

By	Sharon Morin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Often vegan recipes are complicated and require hard-to-find ingredients. This cookbook is just the opposite: the best I have ever found for easy to prepare and tasty meals. Try the appetizers (I love the Roasted Garlic and White Bean Dip and the Eggplant and Olive Dip) and any of the casseroles (my family loves the Mexican Casserole). The Sticky Pecan Squares are wonderful for dessert. This is definitely a cookbook that you will use on a regular basis!
