Summary: Great resource!
Review: I just received this book yesterday and could not put it down. It contains great basic information, yummy recipes, and a terrific section on ingredients used by fast food and chain restaurants (restaurants are individually discussed). I know what all my friends are getting for Xmas this year!!!

Summary: Great resource!
Review: I LOVE this cookbook--it's the only one I have which is truly easy and brainless. (i.e, "throw these six things into the pot, and cook at med. heat for 20 min.") I became veg as a pre-teen, with a mother who hated to cook, so I never learned how to cook ANYTHING! Now, trying to go vegan, I need to know how to make healthy food for my husband, toddler and baby too! This book is awesome for people like me who don't know how to cook and don't have a lot of time to learn. If, however, you know how to cook/like to cook, you'd probably be better off with something more fancy. This IS, however, a GREAT starting-out, "idea book".

Summary: Nice and Easy
Review: I think that this book (reviewing 1991 version) is well worththe money. It's not costly yet it provides a nice overview of the vegetarian lifestyle and the recipes are varied and easy to make. I thought that the variety of dishes was excellent. I would have liked to see a low-fat section of recipes but most of the recipes are easy to make and taste good. I think that the menu selection is quite thorough and there are lots of good ideas for breakfast and also for entertaining.
