Plenty of Options
In the week since I bought this book, I've read it cover-to-cover. It's a complete guide to nutrition, food education, recipes, menu suggestions and supplements needed for vegans. Through proper eating you can get ALL the nutrients you need (protein, calcium) without consuming a trace of animals! A comprehensive book, easy reading and I've already made 2 of the well-organized recipes! Only complaint? It's a stretch, but I'd say have even more recipes and menu suggestions.

A Must-Have!
1 of 1 found this helpful Feels a wee bit dated though it's only from '03. Good upfront info. regarding calcium nutrition and cheese vs. non-cheese benefits. It's an easy read with varied recipes from sauces to desserts to main meals, pastas and fondues plus standards like mac 'n cheese. There's even a bleu cheese dressing recipe (oooo, I miss that on salad!!)
Upfront info. also reminds us that we can get all calcium needs from PLANT SOURCES...not slayed innocent animal friends.
There are minimal photos...of course we all love pics...but I don't fault the book for that. Overall it's cleanly-laid out with little notes on each recipe and serves as a great staple in the dairy-free, animal-friendly household! Consider it a must-have!

User Friendly and a Little Bit of Everything!
I've made five recipes and only had the book a week!
There's lots to learn in the beginning of the book where the author gives a brief lesson on baking basics.
Recipes include breads, cookies, cakes, icing and bars. Every single recipe turned out perfectly! Very easy to use and written in a simple, user-friendly format.
If I were forced to find a criticism, I'd only ask for more variations on baking times, etc. for breads (e.g. if you were baking in small loaf pans instead of one large one).
I'll definitely seek the author's additional books!
