This is a wonderful book for fans of Asian food whether vegan or not. I love having 9 areas of Asia covered in one book. The recipes are well laid out and very easy to follow and most of the ingredients are already in the store cupboard of those of us who cook Asian food regularly so there's no need for lengthy shopping lists - you can just pick up the book and start cooking. Lots of the recipes are pretty quick to cook too which makes it great to use after a day at work.
I've only had this book a couple of weeks and I've already tried 8 recipes and they've all been excellent - especially the Split Pea Fritter Curry - love it!

A very clearly presented and illustrated book explaining the basic principles of Ayurveda. The recipies are divided into three sections, so that having completed the 'self test' to discover your body type, you can then choose from over 70 delicious recipies. These include non vegetarian recipies, all of which are very simple to prepare from ingredients which are readily available. An excellent introduction to Ayurveda - 'the science of life'.

I learned about this book from my local Raw Food Group that has potlucks once a month. My friend and I have served a few dishes from this book at that event and other events and everyone raves about the "eggless egg salad" (I LOVE IT myself). Also, the "raw tacos", "Thai Salad" (another TO DIE FOR recipe) and the "pierogies" are amazing! I can't tell you how many times I've made these recipes.
I think that each recipe in the book has a picture of how it looks prepared. I love that in a cook book! I've definietly gotten my money's worth out of it!

I spent a lot of time down at Schumacher College, where Julia was the chef, and all of the meals that I ate during my year there came from her book. The food is easy to prepare, looks fantastic at the end and tastes simply wonderful. I really don't have any sort of a complaint or improvement for the recipes!
It is a well presented and appealing book that I use every week. It is split into the following sections: Soups, Main Courses, Salads, Pates & Dips, Desserts, Biscuits, Cakes and Bread. Each section has a wide range of dishes within it that will keep you going for a very long time!!
If there is one vegetarian cook book that I couldn't live without then this is the one...

At first I thought this book was brilliant but actually it's got incorrect information in it which could be a danger to your child and I couldn't trust it!!
In the 4-7 month category it has recipes for oats and meat. If you're weaning your child before 6 months you should know that you cannot give meat to them and only gluten free oats, which it doesn't mention.
I wouldn't trust this book and will not be using it. Unfortunately I didn't get to look at it until it was too late to return.

I own 'Please Don't Feed The Bears' and 'The Kundalini Yoga Cookbook' and , ok, any book would struggle to compare with those greats, but this is a run of the mill, boring book. And the others were half the price too !
