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.

For those who think vegetarian equals deprivation, they need only pick up this book to find that meat is not always necessary for rich, delicious meals. Many of the recipes require only a few ingredients, and none are difficult to prepare, so this is excellent for those just beginning to cook or interested in trying out a meatless diet. Most definitely worth adding to any cookbook collection

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!

This book is in a great small format with a solid binding ( unlike some cookbooks where the pages start to fall out after just a few uses). The photos are attractive and will make you want to try out the recipes. The organization into chapters ( starters, soups, salads, mains and sides) makes it easy to find your way around. There is an excellent variety of recipes based on different cuisines from around the world and they are all relatively simple to prepare. Best of all they are absolutely delicious. I have made quite a few of the dishes from this book and every single one of them has been a winner.

This is the best vegetable cookery book I own. I always use it when guests(family or friends that i wish to impress)come for dinner.Without fail the visitors always go away with instructions on how to prepare such wonderful food. The carrot shreds and the creamed leeks are to die for,and the broad bean omelette will tempt anyone. This book is worth its weight in gold.

I have tried 3 of the recipies. All needed adjusting by cooking time or amount of liquid content. Example: The Carrot & Orange Soup (page 46) was delicious but not enough liquid. Far too many recipies require Parmesan cheese which is very hard to get hold of in a vegetarian version. Still worth persevering with but not for the novice cook.

So yeah I've just got back from living in Japan and being vegan having to cook everyday and veganising many favourite japanese dishes. The recipes are good and the explanations are nice but...
