Excellent Book with lots of basic information
I borrowed this book from the library but plan to add it to my cookbook collection someday. Recipes sound delicious but I really enjoyed the info on buying, storing, cooking things like Tofu, Beans, Broths, Nuts etc. Great for a creative cook that has lots of ideas for variations.

My first vegan cookbook
This book is great. It was the first cookbook I ever used when my husband and I began eating whole foods, no meat or dairy, etc. to lower high cholesterol. I don't think we could have continued unless we had found this cookbook - and it's been three years. Wonderful, inventive dishes! Great buy. (And guess what? We have really low cholesterol and plenty of energy!)
Good recipes, great pictures!
Healthy recipes that are as appealing to the eyes as the taste buds. For me many of the recipes are too complicated for the work week, but great for weekends and special occasions. Some ingredients can be hard to find.
I particularly like the "Roasted Sweet Potato and Corn Chowder"," Crisp Tortilla Stacks with Roasted Corn and Black Beans", "Tomato-Chickpea Curry in Eggplant Shells", "Slow-Baked Cannellini with Olives, Escarole, and Gremolata", "Kabocha Squash and Spinach with Moroccan Spices", "Baked Beet and Brown Rice Salad", "Carrot Slaw with Mango Chutney Dressing" and finally the "Mango-Coconut Tapioca".
I am not a vegan, but I use a lot of vegan recipes due to my daughter's allergies to dairy, egg, soy and nuts--this cookbook can offer food allergic families a lot of tasty, healthy options.
