I love vegan cookbooks. My bookshelves are stacked with them and I love trying new recipes. But I hated this cookbook. The recipes are pedestrian, uninspired, and, to top it off, I was really put off by the author's tone. The tone is very self-congratulatory. Inappropriate for such a bland and poorly laid out book. This is one of the few cookbooks I've ever returned. I cannot recommend this title -- especially at this price. Buy something by Joanne Stepaniak, Ron Pickarski, Lorna Sass, Myra Kornfeld, Miyoko Nishimoto Schinner, Eric Tucker or a host of other more inventive vegan chefs instead.
