A fabulous read. Unlike many other vegan authors, Erik Markus makes the case for veganism (extremely well) by stating the facts. The book is all the more powerful for the matter of fact approach Markus adopts. Buy it now. If you're thinking about becoming vegan, this book will confirm time and again, that you'll be making the right choice.

I disagree with the review below on the child rearing parts of this book which I found very down to earth and sensible. As a mother of three I read this when pregnant with my first child and thought both the recipes (lots suggestions for adapting for toddlers) and other child rearing info useful. Rose Elliot suggests keeping toys in bottom drawers and accessible places and things you don't want broken out of reach - much bettr than not adapting your house and trying to say "no" to a difficult two year old I would have thought.

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...

The first book I read that explains the health benefits of veganism without falling into the moralistic view.
Packed with all you need if you are to make an informed choice, supported by real data, and be able to explain to others why you eat what you eat.

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 !

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!
