I've had this cookbook for four years and I love it. The recipes are all very good and aren't missing anything by not having meat or dairy. They're very creative, restaurant-worthy recipes that non-vegans such as myself will love as well. I like that the author didn't try to copy recipes with meat and dairy like "macaroni and cheeze", which never taste like what they're trying to imitate although they might be good if you don't think of it as mac and cheese. I especially enjoy the soup and chili recipes!
