Customer Reviews

Delicious healthy food that everyone can enjoy
Even though the book is based on using mostly healthy nutritious ingredients such as Quinoa, many of the resultant dishes are decadant and delicous. Dairy free cheesy sauces and toppings, luscious Black Forest Chocolate Gateaux made without eggs, the most fantastic Ackee Quiche and rich warming tantalizing farmhouse style traditional winter savoury dishes such as Irish Stew and herb dumplings. The recipe for a dairy free banoffee tart and the very rich and creamy dairy free chocolate Ice cream ( not at all like sorbet)are 2 of my favourites. Just like the previous book Rainbows and Wellies you really wouldn't guess the food was vegan. This book is not just for posh pants and has many more everyday dishes and some great high protein lunch and snack ideas.

Something for everyone.
A perfect introduction to veganism - and a source of delicious new ideas for long-established vegans - this inspiring book is registered with the Vegan Society and published to coincide with the Vegan Society Diamond Jubilee. Over 90 mouth-watering recipes for all occasions, from Crispy Stuffed Peppadew Peppers and Egg-Free Omelette to Mushroom Stew, and Chocolate Chip and Walnut Ice Cream. There are creative ideas too for emergency snacks and meals when you are in a hurry.

Mixed reception
Some of the recipes work very well and are quite exciting to find - e.g. the "cheese-on-toast" and the "omelette" - whilst others don't work so well for me (pancakes completely failed), taste rather odd (chocolate cookies) or call for ingredients that are probably more available in Australia or the UK (for example, many of the recipes call for avocado oil).
