As a nutritional therapist I have used this book as a 'healthy eating' cook book and it is excellent. If you are looking to treat your menopause symptoms with nutrition this is an excellent way to do it as the recipes are delicious and will appeal to everyone in the family, so you won't have to make different meals for different people (that's not usually the case with books aimed at specific conditions).

Vegetarians beware! I found this book from a search of 'vegetarian cookery' but in fact a lot of the recipes are meat-based. It does look like an interesting book for those who eat meat and want to make their vegetables complement their meals, but the book is no use to me. I'm sending it back.

Although it focuses on meatless cookery, this impressive volume belongs in the kitchens of vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike. It is packed with practical information and clearly written, appealing recipes for simple everyday meals as well as for entertaining. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" is bound to be a very useful addition to your library.
Also recommended: "Recipes and Remembrances from an Eastern Mediterranean Kitchen", by Sonia Uvezian. If you are fond of Mediterranean food (as I am), you will find this book a revelation. It is filled with extraordinary vegetarian recipes, many of them not available elsewhere.

Currently in remission from cancer, I decided I would do all I could to avoid it returning again. Although I previously had a relatively healthy diet, I was not a vegan, and so very reluctantly, I bought this book.
The first thing I noticed, was that unlike many other vegan cookery books, I was familiar with most of the ingredient listings. The few ingredients that I was not familiar with, were all available at my local supermarket and/or health food chain.
You have to be aware that vegan foods do often take a little more time and effort to prepare, but the results are definitely worth it, and of course you can always freeze ahead.
I have discovered how versatile things like tofu and soya milk are. Using these ... Read More:

I've had this book a few months now and they all taste so good I am takng the trouble to say YES! Don't be put off by the rather high cost of the ingredients on average it costs about £[...] to make 1 pound of vice cream but the results are definitely worth it, so be good to yourself.

First published in 2000 this is still the best as an all-rounder.
For someone who, not put too fine a point on it, hates cooking, I recommend this because the recipes are: a) EASY to follow b) glossy pictures to entice you along the painful process and c) doesn't use expensive ingredients.
The whole veganism idea (which isn't the reason I started vegan) is explained in the first few reference styled pages and is EXCELLENT for those who want a quick intro and what to substitute things with.
The only criticisms I would have (if I had any) is that I'd have liked more recipes to show a wheat-free alternative than pasta or bread, and also for recipes without a clear protein product to have one. This can easily ... Read More:

Wow I don't think I could possibly be more impressed with this book. I LOVE IT!!! I'm a vegan student so don't have masses of time or money to cook, but this cookbook is the best. I've tried getting on with other cookbooks for vegans in the past but found them too complicated and boring!
The only downside is that this is AMERICAN so all measurements in cups and some ingredients unfamiliar (eg zucchini = aubergine and capsicum = pepper).
I promise if you buy it, you won't be disappointed!

Normally, I am not a great fan of cooking books without pictures (must be to do with some strange inner desire to know what the heap of mush I produced was actually supposed to look like) but this book is an exception and has become a real favourite of mine. The recipes are not overly complicated and work even if you couldn't get hold of all ingredients. Depending on how much time and effort you wish to invest, you can find simple dishes or ideas for a big and varied Indian dinner.
Vegans and non-vegans should find this a real treat!
