We bought this book because we were searching for a vegan cookbook that was focused on fresh, unprocessed ingredients and didn't rely on processed, faux meat products. We were not disappointed! Ms. Robertson has created a collection of recipes that anyone (vegan or otherwise) will enjoy. The ingredients are easy to find, and most of the recipes are quick to prepare. The nutrition information for each dish is also helpful in planning a satisfying meal. Some of our favorite dishes include the Guacamame (I will never eat plain guacamole again); Sesame Coleslaw with Daikon, Snow Peas, and Ginger (a huge hit at potlucks); Szechuan Portobello Mushrooms and String Beans (a little tofu and chopped cashews turn this delicious side into a main course); Fennel & Artichoke Gratin with White Bean Pesto (pureed white beans replace the heavy cream...so delicious!); Crispy Tarragon Tofu Strips with Mushrooms, Lemon, and Capers (like chicken picatta only waaay better); Black Bean & Sesame Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms (this will convert non-vegans it's so good); and Apples & Oats Flaxjacks (my husband asks for these every week). Bon appetit!

I regret buying this book. It is pretty much useless to me. Most of it is just some form of cooked leafy green with a spice. For the truly dumb, she has also included a recipe for oatmeal. Not sure how this book was deemed worthy publication.

We own several low carb recipe books an this is a good one. It's different enough to make it a good addition to our collection. There's no pictures in the book but none of the cheap recipe books seem to have pics so that's fine. ;-)

I just got this cook book. Many of the dishes look very good. So far my husband and I have prepared two recipes; both were decent and we would make them again. The ingredients are very easy to find and are not too expensive. The recipes seem to pack a lot of nutrients, and more protein than I usually get, but they also seem like they do not have enough calories to keep a person alive... after each meal my husband is craving more food. Most "main events" have less than 200 calories per serving. Our main complaint is that these dishes are not "quick and easy." (Though the cook book didn't claim to be.) Usually we prefer dishes that can be cooked in under 30 minutes. A lot of these require 15-30 minutes of prep, and then 30-60 minutes baking/simmering. After a long day of work, we usually go for something faster, otherwise we're eating at 10pm. I've come across a couple that are faster, so they may be our repeat dishes. Overall, I like it.

Not only does this book have great recipes, but it will add ideas to your meal planning for those who are low carb eaters! I'm still impressed with all the great recipes. The dish titles are enough to make your mouth water. I don't even know how to decide what to make today, but sooner or later, I will cook every last recipe. This book offers a HUGE variety of creative recipes, with easy to find ingredients. The directions are complete and come with helpful hints - while at the same time stay low carb. This is one of my favorite cookbooks - filled with great tasting healthy meals! The recipes are uncomplicated and you will experience flavor, freshness, and seasonality of each vegetable in the dish. For vegetarians and meat-eaters - this book is a must read to cut your carbs. This book is truly useful for those that are interested in becoming vegetarians, or even vegans. It's definitely one of the first books I would recommend to those moving from meat to meatless. There are a couple of others that you could also read and gain a wealth of knowledge and recipes from: 221 New Vegetarian Dishes Delicious, Healthy And Easy - Tom's Vegetarian Cookbook: Easy Yummy And Nutritional Vegan Recipes The Black Art Of Cooking: The Raw Truth The Golden Age Vegetarian Cook Book Vital Facts about Foods: Included: 200 + Longevity recipes & 250 Food Analyses References For each of these books you can rely on, I love vegetables, and everything I have tried in these books was just great. In fact, between them all, I have really come to rely on them book not only for recipes, but for reference as well.
