This cookbook has some wonderful recipies even if you aren't Vegan. I do not happen to be Vegan but my boyfriend is and living together and cooking meals that we both liked was a nightmare. So I figured, what the hell, I could use the help and ideas and I ordered the book. I was surprised! The meals are not only delicious but incredibly easy to make (even my boyfriend can handle it). The Sizzling Black Bean Soup is amazing! So tasty, us meat eaters couldn't believe it was animal free. So, if you are looking for a middle ground for the vegan and non-vegan household this is the way to go. Cruelty/animal free recipies that are actually delicious. In fact, the recipies are so good, I hardly cook meat much anymore at all. Believe me, it will save you many kitchen headaches! You won't be sorry you tried it.

Nutritious and Delicious! The best vegan cookbook there is!

This is one of my favorite cookbooks, and I own several hundred, including 40-50 vegetarian cookbooks and over a dozen vegan cookbooks. The recipes are full of the most nutritious vegetables, greens, and grains, combined with great spices. You'll find many recipes for a variety of greens, not just spinach, and for a variety of grains, not just pasta. And the finished recipes are a pleasure for the eyes as well as the taste buds -- bursting with color. Many of the foods recent studies have found to be extremely nutritious are included -- high antioxidant sweet potatoes and squashes and red peppers -- high fiber beans and whole grains. As an added bonus, many recipes will take well to freezing, so you can cook in volume and freeze for workday lunches.All in all, an impressive, extremely nutritious and delicious cookbook. You won't be disappointed with this one.

The best vegan cookbook available

I bought a lot of vegan cookbooks when I first became vegan, and this is definitely the best. I have liked pretty much every recipe I tried, and there are still many post-its flagging promising recipes that I haven't got around to yet. You will see similar recipes in other books and magazines, but for easy preparation, good instructions, and taste, this is the best one-stop source book. I have just bought two extra copies to send to family members whom I will be visiting over the holidays.

Solomon makes eating vegan easy, accessible, enjoyable!

Solomon's recipes do not require expensive, hard to find ingredients usually only found at high-priced whole-foods stores. I was terrified to start cooking vegan because of the inaccessibility of some of the ingredients called for in many veggie/vegan cookbooks. Fear not--98% of the recipes in Solomon's book require only a trip to your local grocery. Ex: One medium onion, one carrot, 2 c. brown rice... I thought, "I can do this!" No miso, no "dew concentrate from the char-char plant, found only in the East Indian highlands". This is Veganism for Dummies--no offense, Jay!Oh yeah--the recipes are yummy, too. We're carnivores at heart, and we love them.I found veganism after a religious conversion to Coptic Orthodoxy which requires its faithful to not eat animal products for about 2/3 of the year. I thought I'd starve to death! Whether you're Vegan for health or spiritual reasons, Jay Solomon's book is a MUST HAVE, especially for beginners! I am happy to report that 150 Vegan Favorites is for EVERYONE. Hat's off to Jay Solomon!
