These recipes are actually in there:
Transcendental Tofu
The Good Shepherd Pie
Nirvana's Nori Roll
Holy Hummus Wrap
Jai to the Most High Sunflower Seed Dip
Yes! Seriously!
It's all a bit too spiritualist for my liking. And recipes call for "filtered water" instead of plain old "water". Which brings me onto my next point. If you live somewhere where you can get access to crazy hippie ingredients - great! :) If not, try a different cook book. Almost every recipe calls for one ... Read More:

I found the dietry information at the beginning of this book quite useful but as a person who does not eat animal-derived foods and therefore has always paid attention to this sort of information there are only so many times I can be told the same 100 fascinating facts about nutrition without my eyes rolling into the back of my head from boredom. Did you know that vitimin C is essential for human health and can be found in citrus fruits? No? Congratulations, you must be the last person on Earth not to know it. You can come out of the cupboard now and start living with the rest of us again.
