Excellent for beginners and long term vegans alike

This is one of my favorite cookbooks. The suggested shoping lists and planned menues were very helpful to get me started. Now I mix and match te recipes to create a perfect week's menu. The servings are usually enough for two, which the author mentions in her notes. This means that I always have a great lunch waiting for me the nex day. Now b/c I eat out or have dinner meetings, I only plan three menues from this book at a time. I highly recommend the "Irish Stew" to everyone. It's a HUGE hit with all types of eaters! Enjoy!

This one is my favorite.

I really appreciate the author for creating this cookbook. I'm new at Vegan eating. I was pretty well done with meat, but recently visited an egg and milk farm. It was pretty sick. I wasn't real optomisitc about how to eliminate these--but still enjoy food. (I do enjoy eating, don't you?) So many vegetarian cookbooks I've seen have long ingredient lists, and things you've never heard of, so that after getting it cooked, I'm weary. These recipes are simple and delicious. I'm liking not just some of them, but the majority. Therefore I can go ahead and use her wonderful and conscise shopping list, and make it even that much simpler. She has it all spelled out like kindergarten.I love it, Thanks Leah.

YOU WILL LOVE IT

GO ON TRY IT. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS BOOK I THOUGHT UMM JUST ANOTHER BORING VEGAN RECIPE BOOK ; BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A REAL PLEASURE TO READ. THE BOOK IS DEVIDED INTO WEEKS AND AT THE START OF EACH WEEK GIVES YOU THE INGREDIANTS TO BUY.THIS IS EASILLY ADAPTABLE FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON.THE RECIPES ARE SIMPLE IN THE SENCE THAT THE INGREDIANTS ARE BASIC AND MAKES YOU REALISE THAT THE SIMPLE THINGS ARE OFTEN THE BEST. WE FOUND SOME DISHES NOT TO OUR LIKING BUT OTHERS WERE OUT OF THIS WORLD. SO TRY THEM WITH AN OPEN MIND. ENJOY

great cookbook, quick easy healthy delicious recipes

don't let the the dearth of pictures deter you--this is a wonderful cookbook, even if you are not totally vegan. Especially good are the Tempeh-Sweetcorn Roast, Aduki Bean Casserole, and Tomato-Olive Spaghetti Sauce. I use this book almost every day. I hardly ever use any other cookbooks and was about to give up on them entirely until I found this one. Most of the recipes have been great and even the "worst" ones were okay. I haven't even tried everything yet because I love what I have eaten so far so much I get a craving for those recipes and make them instead.The ingredients are almost all inexpensive and easy to find, plus there aren't a whole lot of perishables to purchase and waste. The ingredients include many of the foods that are anticarcinogenic, immune-system building, etc.This book makes me enjoy being vegan. I feel priveledged to be eating this way and feel sorry for people that think that food has to be a dead animal and unhealthy to taste great.I actually cook from this book almost every day (as long as I have some groceries in the house)after working a long day!
