Product Description

This book introduces a world of delicious choices to the millions of people who are vegans; vegetarians looking to move away from dairy and eggs; non-vegetarians who have food sensitivities or are simply trying to eat healthier. The vegan diet consists solely of plant-based ingredients. A vegan diet contains no eggs, dairy, or other animal products, including honey, but is chock full of delicious, nutritious, and satisfying whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and proteins from plant sources. Robin Robertson shows how to make vegan cuisine exciting, flavourful, and full of variety. First she provides a complete rundown on the vegan pantry and the tremendous health benefits of this way of eating. Then she presents 400 tantalising new recipes for breakfast (Pumpkin Pie Pancakes), lunch (Fried Green Tomato Po-Boys), and dinner (Hot Tamale Vegetable Pie).

The best vegan cookbook I have ever seen!
This book is fantastic. I only got it last week, but have already made several of the recipes, with great success! It is the kind of cookbook which makes you want to try every recipe - it all sounds delicious. The recipes so far have also been enthusiastically received by non-vegans, and are much more varied than in other vegan books. The book has very good general nutritional information and advice, as well as on specific food groups and ingredients. The only slight downside is that it is American, and there is no conversion table, but having to refer to another book is a small price to pay for great food!

A must have for every vegan!
I'm slightly obsessed with vegan cookbooks and have to say that this is definitely one of the best I have seen so far. The book's 400 recipes cover every eventuality, there is a lot of nutritional information and bits and pieces of useful advice and suggestions. Most recipes do not contain a vast list of ingredients and are fairly straightforward to re-create at home. I do like the book's layout (there is a list of all recipes contained in each chapter at the beginning of the chapter as well as a comprehensive index), although it is a bit of a pity that there are no photos of the delicious recipes. This book is very useful for both everyday cooking and occasions and I absolutely love it!

INFORMATIVE BUT REQUIRES CONCENTRATION!
This book is extremely helpful regarding both the nutritional needs and the advantages of a vegan diet. Even though I've been vegan for some time, I am learning a lot, and have also found some intriguing-sounding recipes. However, I wouldn't exactly recommend it as a book to dip into for ideas. I'm finding it more of a cover-to-cover read slowly and absorb type thing. I had to wait ages for this book and would say it was worth the wait - but I also have to say I was disappointed that there are no pictures. I like to know how my cooking is supposed to turn out. If a video was made to accompany it, I would definitely buy it and would be a very happy - whatever the vegan equivalent of if a bunny is!
