Summary: the index is here!
Review: i recently bought this fantastic book (on a whim), and i am sure i could type for hours about how wonderful it is! i have the second printing of it, which was printed in the year 2000, and i have an index in my book, which is very useful! also, the recipes that call for honey give an alternative (at least the ones that i have seen) and if you need another alternative, or for some reason it doesn't give one, go to the appendix! the appendix usually tells what you can use as a substitute for animal derived products. this has been one of the most useful sections for me. i knew that there were processes that use animal products, and i am glad to finally have a long list of what to avoid. i intend to give this book to my friends and relatives so they can see that i am not crazy, and that vegan food is not only healthy, but delicious, and not difficult to prepare! and it's not just the food, but health & beauty products, household cleaners, & 45 things to do with vinegar! i love this book!

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This is a fantastic cookbook. After reading some other review, I realize that it does use honey and therefore cannot be called completely vegan. I forgive them. It is one of the best vegan cookbooks ever printed. The receipes are delicious and I can substitute other ingredients for the honey. Only complaint. NO INDEX! I know there was a receipe for peanut butter cups but where! I have to say thank you for this book and I will definitely be recommending it to friends and family! Thanks again girls! What is there website address anybody?

Summary: my new favourite cookbook!
Review: "How it All Vegan" is my favourite veggie cookbook. The recipes are great and they call for ingredients that are already in my cupboard. I love the fact that vegans can eat everything in the book, unlike most veggie cookbooks where dairy and eggs sneak in everywhere. Maybe if we buy lots of copies, they'll make us another one!

Summary: Tasty veganism!
Review: Just before the X-mas holidays I took the plunge into veganism, knowing this would be a true time to test my convictions. Guess what I recieved as a gift-How it all Vegan! I had seen it on the web & was considering buying it but hey, now I got it. For the past three months it has been by far my favorite cookbook. The recipes are easy, ingredients not difficult to find and most importantly everything has been very very tasty! I kid you not, this book is awesome. The general feeling of the book is worth mentioning too-very positive and fun. I recommend this to all my vegan friends. Thank-you and congratulations on a great book.

Summary: I could just cry with joy!
Review: I wanted to write and explain to you all how amazing this book is! This book is awesome! I have so many recipie books for vegan recipies, but they always include ingredients that you are not about to go out and buy. The recipies are usually so long and complicated as well. This book on the other hand is short and sweet, with common ingredients and the recipes turn out amazing and taste wonderful. Everytime I look through it, I can't believe it. They've included everything under the sun (and the moon). Thank you Sarah & Tanya! I am beyond words.... it's no exageration that this book will totally change my life and those around me who eat at my table. And it's such a huge thing (veganism) that you somehow managed to get across as so simple, easy and fun. I love you so much for doing such an awesome thing.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: "How it all Vegan" a CRACKERJACK cookbook! This cookbook has it's own special unique quality set apart from the rest. With the array of recipes, my family enjoys them all. I especially like the vegan health and beauty products and my vegan son almost four loves the Tofu Fudgesicles and Maple Apple Dip. I think this book is good for the transitional vegan as well as the long time ones. Sarah and Tanya has made compassionate cooking not only tasty but LOT'S O' FUN. Thanks guys.

Summary: Good, but misleading
Review: This is a fun and good cookbook. Unfortunately how can it be calling itself a vegan cookbook when it calls for animal products? (a whole range of bee products) I'm hesistant to give this otherwise good cookbook to my friends and family as gifts because I don't want to mislead them into believing that eating bee products is okay for a vegan diet. And wouldn't it be quite crazy if they got the book, thought vegans can eat bee stuff, and then buy or cook me things that contain bee products? I'm vegan because I don't believe animals are on earth just to be or produce meals for me. My, and other vegans', compassion extends to the largest of creatures to the smallest. It's hard enough for vegans to get our message across that animals are not ours to exploit, now we have a cookbook that dilutes and misleads our message? How ridiculous. If the book was called "vegetarian" I wouldn't be so upset. If the authors wish to call a book vegan, then it should be vegan; don't call it "vegan" because it's supposedly "in" to be vegan nowadays. Sure, some "vegans" call themselves vegan but eat honey, but keep in mind that those people are healthnuts who have stolen the term. (Just like people who eat fish and/or chicken call themselves "vegetarian" because they don't eat red meat simply because it's "in" to be vegetarian or that they simply don't have a name for themselves.) Veganism is a lifestyle which seeks to end support for animal suffering and exploitation; it is not only a diet. People who simply does not eat flesh, eggs, and dairy products should just call themselves vegetarians. As such, the cookbook should have been called vegetarian, NOT vegan.

Summary: Good recipes, needs an index
Review: A good selection of recipes that generally work. I rated the book a 2 because it does not have an index (now, I'm sure there was a recipe for Stuffed Red Peppers but where is it?) and because the baking recipes do not indicate size of pan (is a "lightly oiled cake pan an 8", a 9", or a 13 x 9" pan?). The appendix has a wonderful chart of ingredients that contain animal products.
