I found this book originally in my local library and having read it for five minutes decided I had to go out and buy a copy! It is simply the best vegan cookbook I have ever found. This is probably because I am the only vegan in the household and so the amounts given in the book are perfect - they really are the right amount. However my housemates, who are all meateaters, were also pleasantly surprised when I cooked them a recipe from the book! My advice is especially try the scrambled tofu and leek. Yummy!

This is the first recipe book I go to when I've been presented with a previously 'uncooked' vegetable in my lucky dip organic delivery. It hasn't failed to provide me with a tasty recipe with ingredients that are likely to already be in my pantry. Clean, tasty, no dairy substitutes (yuck!). I've never considered the lack of food photos to be an inconvenience. Well done!

I wasn't sure I needed yet another vegan cookbook to add to my already oversized collection. But the cover caught my eye and Jae Steele's blog is a must read so I thought I'd give her cookbook a go.
And I'm very glad I did! She's a Registered Holistic Nutritionist so her recipes are balanced and nutritious, not mention they taste amazing! Her style of writing is easy to follow yet informative, even for those who think they've heard all of the facts before when it comes to veganism and nutrition. I've been looking for a cookbook that was based on using health sustaining ingredients in all of its recipes and I've finally found one! I recommend it without reservation to anyone interested in increasing their vegan cooking repertoire.

A great vegan cookbook which I use time and time again! All of the recipes are foolproof, but I have to say, why do so many Vegan cookbooks not have photos?????

When i bought this book i was under the impression it was full of vegan recipes but when i fliped through it i realised that alot of them had eggs and cheese in them and some even contained TUNA!! As for the book itself the recipes are un imaginative i know this book is aimed at studients who dont have time to cook "propper" meals but the could have put more thought into it..most of them are covered in cream or cheese.
Overall this book would suit someone whos kitchen skills are limited

Having visited South India I was looking for a book which would allow me to attempt to recreate the food I ate while there. This book is perfect. Everything I have attempted has been delicious and reminiscent of the flavours I enjoyed there. The book covers a variety of snacks, sambars & rasams, poriyals, salads, chutneys, rice dishes and desserts. Whilst some ingredients are difficult to source unless you have an Asian grocer locally the majority are relatively easy to obtain.
Highly recommended if you are familiar with South Indian cuisine or if you would like to try a different style of Indian cookery than the more familiar North Indian curries.

This really is a very useful DVD (this is a review of the DVD only, as I wasn't able to get hold of the accompanying book). I won't lie, very expensive and hard to get hold of in a format for the UK and Europe, but I am glad I spent the money.
Nothing hokey or dogmatic, just a very healthy, soft-spoken woman, teaching a 'cooking' class to two women, who ask loads of questions and eat the food she prepares. Cohen loves raw foods cooking and her enthusiasm is infectious without being cloying or overdone.
I finally can see with my own eyes how some of the recipes and preparation skills I read about in raw foods 'cookery' books are made. They are *so* much easier than reading about them makes them seem. A lot less daunting. ... Read More:

The recipes in this book use inexpensive ingredients, they are quick and easy to make. The only problem is that all the weights and measurements are in American, which meant that I was spending a lot of time converting to British measurements.
This book is wonderful, the recipes are easy and tasty and don't depend too heavily on soy. In fact, it takes various allergies into account. So far I have made boursin, guacamole grillers, mozzeralla, gruyere toasts and an AMAZING quiche which is indistinguishable from the real thing. It isn't cheese so don't buy it and then moan, it is uncheese which is much nicer.
