[.ca] 150 Vegan Favorites: Fresh, Easy, and Incredibly ... (ISBN 0761512438)

simple:
These recipes are fairly simple, but may not be detailed enough if you're brand new to the kitchen. The ingredients are common and easy to find. This simplifies your shopping, but does lead to some repetition among the recipes. The dishes I have tried have been tasty and satisfying. Unfortunately, there is no nutrition information given. A cookbook I use a lot more is "The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen" by Donna Klein.

My favorite vegan cookbook!:
I've tried quite a number of vegan and vegetarian cookbooks and I must say that this is my favorite by far. The recipes are really quite easy and the end product particularly delicious. Everything I've made has been great --- there are no duds! A lot of book in a little and inexpensive package.

Great book:
This is a wonderful book. Every recipe I have tried has been very tasty. My mom borrowed it and then bought it for herself after I asked for it back. The recipes are very easy and don't call for a lot of exotic ingredients. This was worth every penny.

Good one-dish meals:
I like this book because it has a lot of recipes that combine vegetables with legumes with rice or other starches, basically providing a complete, balanced meal with the preparation of just one dish. This author does sometimes tend to the spicy - i.e. Jay's Mondo Chili includes chili powder, cumin, paprika, AND Tabasco! And he does use a lot of different types of chilis in his recipes (New Mexico, poblano, jalapeno, serrano), some of which I don't know where to find. Overall, however, I do find this book has survived the test of time in that several years after I bought it, I still turn to it to try something new, or to re-make a previously enjoyed dish.

GREAT cook book!:
I've had this cookbook for four years and I love it. The recipes are all very good and aren't missing anything by not having meat or dairy. They're very creative, restaurant-worthy recipes that non-vegans such as myself will love as well. I like that the author didn't try to copy recipes with meat and dairy like "macaroni and cheeze", which never taste like what they're trying to imitate although they might be good if you don't think of it as mac and cheese. I especially enjoy the soup and chili recipes!
