Informative, innovative, inspiring,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Vegan Cookbook: Over 200 Tantalizing Recipes Plus Plenty of Kitchen Wisdom for Beginners and Experienced Cooks (Paperback)
The recipes in this book are out-of-the-ordinary, which is a good thing if you ask me--it keeps the vegan diet from getting boring. Every one I have tried has been easy to make and very delicious. My favorites right now are the Southwest Corn, Chard, and Potato Soup and the Linguine with Asparagus, Walnuts, and Fresh Herbs. I made the Oat and Buckwheat Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce for friends, who loved them. Anyway, I'm not a experienced or fancy cook and this book is one of my favorites. It also has a lot of good nutrition and cooking tips. Check it out for yourself!

disappointing,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Vegan Cookbook: Over 200 Tantalizing Recipes Plus Plenty of Kitchen Wisdom for Beginners and Experienced Cooks (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking I could use it to make some good vegan meals. I was very disappointed by it because although the recipes do look tempting and interesting and exotic, they are not practical - one would have to buy too many 'strange' ingredients to make them. In the end I just kept getting frustrated looking through it, because all these ideas she presents were not realistic, so I returned it. There may be one or two good recipes, but there are better vegan cookbooks out there.

Simply the best,

This review is from: The Complete Vegan Cookbook: Over 200 Tantalizing Recipes Plus Plenty of Kitchen Wisdom for Beginners and Experienced Cooks (Paperback)
I signed on to review this book because I am so excited about it, but had to respond to the last reviewer, who says the recipes in it are too high in fat. In fact, MOST of the recipes are very LOW in fat. And you have to take into account the percentage of calories that are derived from fat, not just the total fat grams. There is plenty of wonderful food here for people who are watching fat intake. Also, the last reviewer mentions canola oil as the major fat in the book, but the most prominent oil used in The Complete Vegan Cookbook is heart-healthy olive oil. It is important to remember that an extremely low-fat diet can be hazardous to your health, unless you already have heart disease. You need a sufficient quantity of essential fatty acids in your diet, especially the monounsaturated kind--like olive oil and avocado. I definitely recommend this inspiring and informative cookbook. I especially recommend the great selection of pilafs and the Chinese-inspired soups.
