5.0 out of 5 stars Un livre intelligent qui ouvre les yeux, Jun 18 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Nous commençons notre cheminement végan, et c'est très réconfortant de savoir qu'on fait le bon choix. Pas seulement pour les animaux et la planète, mais pour notre santé aussi.

Je recommande fortement ce livre à tout le monde, que vous soyez omnivore, végétarien ou végan. Ce livre ouvre les yeux, nous fait comprendre les sujets souvent obscurs et complexes comme le cancer et l'ostéoporose, démystifie les mythes courants sur l'alimentation, et offre une façon plus saine de vivre sa vie. De plus, les recettes incluses sont exquises et très simples!

Par contre, j'admets que si vous voulez en savoir plus sur l'éthique animale et l'écologie du végétarisme, je vous conseille plutôt de prendre le livre ''Je mange avec ma tête: Les conséquences de nos choix alimentaires'' par Élise Desaulniers (http://www.amazon.ca/mange-avec-t%C3%AAte-cons%C3%A9quences-alimentaires/dp/2760410978/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340046810&sr=8-1), car les parties traitants sur ces sujets écrites par Patricia Tulasne sont difficiles à lire (dans le sens que son texte est surtout regroupé en longs paragraphes quasi-interminables qui rendent la lecture ardue).

Sinon, les sections d'Anne-Marie Roy brillent et rendent ce livre un incontournable pour quiconque veut améliorer et préserver sa santé et son bien-être.

I'm glad to have bought this caddy. Nearly all my decorating tools now fit in one tidy case. I say ''nearly'' here because I never expected my cake turntable to fit inside, obviously!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, as usual!, May 4 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I know it's shameless but I must admit that Isa Chandra Moskowitz is my favorite chef in the whole world. Every recipe is creative and fun. She always adds great tips in her books both for beginning cooks and veterans of the kitchen. Not to mention that each meal tastes delicious as is, but some are open to interpretation as well.

I own many cookbooks, but hers are the ones I use most. I feel like she has really WORKED to get those recipes right, making sure each detail is perfect, unlike many other chefs I know who just sort of put cookbooks together without reading a recipe twice. Isa's not just writing cookbooks for paychecks, she's on a mission: to show the world that vegan food is amazing. And I, for one, am convinced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, tasty, easy recipes, Dec 15 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is the book I use most from my cooking library. I have been a vegetarian for many years but had been losing interest in food as I found myself eating the same types of meals over and over again. Veganomicon not only has some great, easy to make, grocery store friendly ingredient recipes, it also includes a bunch of recipes with ingredients I had never previously eaten. I can easily say that my food repertoire will never be boring again!
