Customer Reviews

Absolutely reliable
This is a wonderful collection of easy to prepare vegetarian dishes that taste amazing. Nadine Abensur transforms simple vegetables like potatoes and spinach into something heavenly. This is what vegetarian food is all about ... dishes that make you want to make them again and again and again. Some of my favourites are the beetroot risotto, spinach soup, and the celeriac and porcini gratin. I love this book because all the dishes I have tried are lovely and if you're cooking for someone else you can be guaranteed that whatever you choose to make from this book will impress your guest without fail. Gone are the days of boring, bland veggie food; Nadine Abensur's book changes the taste of lentils, tofu and cabbage to something spectacular and special.

Not to my taste
I have just given my unused Cranks Bible to the local charity shop. I liked the lovely photos, but found the recipes not to my taste.

Very poor compared to original cranks books
Having been veggie over 30 years I had the original Cranks books these by Nadine Abensur are a poor reflection on Cranks.
