5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Delicious Recipes and Great Info!, May 31, 2000

By	Melanie Wilson "vegetarianbabydotcom" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I honestly didn't think I needed another vegan cookbook, so I was pleasantly surprised when I received Incredibly Delicious from the people at Gentle World. They make their home together on the big island of Hawaii, and there live an entirely vegan lifestyle. Sounds like an exotic dream, doesn't it? One of the products of their life and work is this thorough book, joining the ranks of their other vegan title, The Cookbook for People Who Love Animals. Noted author, Michael Klaper, M.D., who wrote Pregnancy, Children and the Vegan Diet and Vegan Nutrition: Pure and Simple wrote the introduction for this book. Most notable is the sheer number of recipes. If you ever thought of the vegan diet as limited, think again. Along with chapters devoted to Breads and Breakfast; Salads and Soups; Dips, Dressings, Salads, and Gravies; Appetizers and side Dishes; and Desserts, there is a section entitled Rawsome Recipes. You guessed it-how to "cook" everything raw, from hummus to veggie burgers, even breads and crackers (using a dehydrator). This section also includes information on `veganic' gardening, composting and sprouting. I liked the surprising addition of this information, because it allows those who are still considering a raw foods diet to experiment without having to buy a book they might end up not needing. It also presents raw food ideas in a context that might bring the issue into focus for some people who would never even pick up a raw foods book or magazine. There are so many terrific recipes-interspersed with inspiring quotes-that it would be a good buy for any type of vegetarian.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good!, April 22, 2001

By	Power Tool Girl (WNY United States) - See all my reviews

A lot of innovative reciepts but not all are fast preparations. The author relies on the blender a bit too much (even dry items are blended together instead of stired). This is a great resource for both novice and experienced cooks or anyone that wants to wow dinner guests. There is even a section on raw food reciepts and separate sections on resources so you will never be at a loss. Definately more than a cookbook!

4.0 out of 5 stars I haven't even bought it yet..., March 4, 2002

By	Fabulox "Stay Fit & Fabulous!" (East Bay, CA) - See all my reviews

I was in Arcata, CA this last weekend and a friend was on a rampage cooking all sorts of things from this book. It was so unbelievably yummy! And good for you! I'm not a vegan, nor vegitarian, but I am delighted by the recipes. I'm buying it now!
