Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most useful,kid friendly vegetarian cookbook out there.
Review: I have used this cookbook for over twenty years now and it is still my favorite. All of the recipies are inexpensive to make, fairly basic, always nutritious and tasty.

I have raised six kids on the recipies from The Farm and they universally request the Nutritional yeast melts, the barbeque gluten ribs and the TVP golden gravey.

If I have one complaint about the recipies it is that they generally have too much salt in them for the average desk-bound lifestyle. The book was written from the perspective of folks used to a physically rigorous lifestyle. Use less salt in making the dishes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5 stars but a few reservations
Review: I like this cookbook. The recipes appeal to me rather than intimidating me. But they are sometimes not clear enough for a relatively "beginner" cook. While four recipes I have tried have been crowd pleasers, three needed some work: Cook the dahl covered, or it will take longer than 45 minutes. The cornbread needs salt. And the scalloped potatoes needed to bake for an extra *hour*. The tofu pot pie was good. But the tofu whipped topping was not what I was looking for. It's a great cookbook, but not a foolproof one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite vegan cookbook
Review: I love cookbooks and I have quite a collection, but this one is the one I keep going back to. It is literally falling apart because I use it so much. There are a few recipes that might seem intimidating, and a few ingredients that might seem odd to a new vegan/vegetarian, but over all it is accessible. It has a great nutrition section in the back, too. The macaroni and "cheese" recipe is by far my favorite vegan dish.

Summary: The BEST Soy Cookbook EVER!
Review: I love cooking with this book! It has everything from soy yogurt, milk to (my fav) spaghetti balls! The recipes are easy and very delicious. I just ordered another one because mine is falling apart from using it so much! I wish they'd make a spiral bound hard copy! :) The Cooks that contributed the recipes are awesome and I'd love to go down to the FARM to take cooking lessons. The BEST book if you're just turning vegitarian and are looking for different soy choices for variety. I LOVE IT!

Summary: Staple cookbook
Review: I love this cookbook. i've been a vegan for almost five years and have had this since day one.
i recommend this book to all vegans just starting out. the recipes are very simple to prepare, and they are basic foods that everyone loves. this is the only cookbook where i've cooked almost everything in the book and liked it all. many vegans starting out may be intimidated and think they don't have many meal options. with these recipes, there are always leftovers that they can be munched on all week long. aside from the simplicity of the meals, the portions are large. i always make the TVP gravy and Sloppy Joes. there is minimal cooking involved and i always have leftovers.
for the experienced vegan, there are great recipes like alfredo sauce and meals with nutritional yeast (an acquired taste - i didn't eat it for a LONG time) that never get old. Janie's good biscuits are a classic!
another plus is that since the book was written in the 70's, there aren't any "special" ingredients needed. no extravagant gourmet meals here, you won't have to drive around town looking for kelp powder or mushrooms you've never heard of. highly recommended.

Summary: My Vegan Bible
Review: I must admit that just 6 months ago there was no way I could fathom the thought of eating vegan meals on a daily basis, until I tasted a recipe out of this book. Not only was I astounded but I was also insulted. Insulted because one of my own famous recipes that I had made for years (with meat), was "up-staged" by the vegan recipe I had tasted in the New Farm Cookbook. And to add insult to injury, it took only a fraction of the time to make it! One of the main things I like about the book is that the recipes are absolutely delicious, simple, and most of the ingrediants can be found in just about anybodies cupboard. From gluten roast to non-dairy cheesecake you just can't beat it. Anyone who wants to change their diet and are skeptical would do themselves a tremendous service to get this book. I have since bought another one in case something happens to my first one. It has changed my life and I can honestly say that it is truly worth its weight in gold. This is why I call it my Vegan Bible.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent vegan recipes- hooray for the baked goods!
Review: It is very hard to find good vegan baking recipes, and this book has a bunch!
