I was incredibly pleased to finally find a Vegan lunch recipe guide after months of searching amazon and various other websites. The book is written nicely and has lots of fun and creative ideas for lunch boxes. It's not very adult orientated, it's mainly about giving your kids fun and healthy veggie meals but it can be adapted to the more grown up taste. The lunches featured include vegan sushi recipes, mock meat recipes and a wide range of appetisers and desserts. Like the majority of vegan recipe books on the market that I have come across it doesn't have many pictures which I think would make it much more useful and it also has recipes for mainly US mock meats and such which aren't as widely available in Europe. I'd recommend it because ... Read More:

I often cater for people with certain dietary needs. One of them is vegetarian, on a low-carb diet and has a wheat allergy.
The veggie bit I'm used to, but the other stuff is tricky until you get this book.
It may not say it on the cover, but this is just as useful for somebody on a wheat-free diet (though not necessarily a gluten-free one) as somebody on a low-carb diet. Since recipes containing wheat are nearly always high carb, they're not in here.
It seems like a bit of a niche product, this recipe book, but the food you make from it is just great food, like anything you'd expect from an experienced food writer like Rose Elliot. It introduces you to a few ideas you wouldn't try otherwise perhaps, but that can only be a ... Read More:

This book is nothing short of FABULOUS. It is my bible. For all those who fear that vegan food has to be bland and uninteresting i challenge you to feel the same having cooked any recipe from this book. The recipes are diverse and there is something for every occasion. What i love about this book is that the food is high on taste but also low in fat and all the bad stuff.

Colleen Patrick Godreau has created the most beautiful, well thought out book on vegan baking. I listen to her podcast a lot ( Its called "Food for thought" if anyones interested!) and she is overwhelmingly inspiring and her enthusiasm, joy and talent bounce off each page of this delightful informative book ( She has small sections where she talks about cow's milk, eggs etc throughout the book ) I true-ly cannot recommend this book enough!! Try the chocolate bread pudding!
Oh , and yes she does use egg replacer in some recipes , but explains how to make whatever it is without the replacer and something else instead, and she really only uses it a few times, and whats wrong with it anyway? Its great stuff! It works!

Sure there are some strange ingredients and recipes in the Oil Protein Coobook. However, if one is seeking excellent health and/or recovery from disease it pays to be a bit adventurous and open minded about food. Give it go even if it sounds and looks a bit odd! You never now, you might love the taste of it. Some ingredients are indeed a bit hard to find, but improvisations are always possible if you are flexible with the recipes. This is an excellent book. My father was dying of cancer and is still alive and well because of flax seed oil and Dr. Budwig's findings.

What a fantastic little book this is and you don't have to be vegan to enjoy the recipes because they are great as they are. My husband loves the chilli recipe and I can't make enough of it for him. And what a great idea to make shepherd's pie and lasagne in a slow cooker. I would never have even thought of that. The desserts are delicious too.
If you love having more time and to yourself and eating really healthy and tasty meals, then this is the book you need. It's full of receipes from around the world that you can just prepare, throw into the slow cooker and leave to cook all day. I just go to work after setting up the slow cooker and come home to a delicious smell and a meal that's cooked itself. Even on the weekends it's handy ... Read More:

I've only been a vegetarian for six months. This book has many great recipes but after enjoying using it for a while, I discovered that there is no such thing as vegetarian parmesan cheese. All parmesan contains rennet, which comes from the stomach linings of slaughtered newly born calves.
As a vegetarian, this notion is repulsive to me, so why does this 'vegetarian' cook book seem to use parmesan cheese on every other page?
There is a paragraph in the appendix all about parmesan cheese but there is no mention of rennet or it's origins. This book should not be marketed as a vegetarian cook book.

First of all, this is a good book with plenty of great recipes and inspirations etc etc etc. However, I find Juliano's technique is best suited to someone who owns a restaurant or at least has nothing else to do all day except prepare food. For someone like me with a full time job, a wife and a child the recipes are completely impractical since a lot of the recipes need to be dehydrated for up to 13 hours and most of them refer to other recipes in the book. You think you're going to spend half an hour making something only to find that the recipe requires a condiment detailed on another page that takes half a day to make.
For example, I decided to make the raw carrot cake. It said "this is the tastiest *20 minute* carrot cake you'll ... Read More:
