Summary: Better vegan cookbooks available
Review: I recommend this cookbook in my book "Creationist Diet." I do as my book includes a chapter on "The Benefits of a Vegan Diet." But since following a vegan diet can be rather "strange" to many people, those desiring to follow such a diet need ideas on just what to eat and how to prepare it.However, as I tried using this cookbook more after my book was published, I didn't find it as helpful as I thought it would be. The recipes simply are not that appealing. I've made a few of the beans recipes, but that's about it. I've found other vegan cookbooks to be more helpful, such as "Simply Vegan" and "20 Minutes to Dinner." So if I ever publish a new edition of my "Creationist Diet" book, I'll probably omit the recommendation for this cookbook and substitute both of these other ones.

Summary: Good one-dish meals
Review: 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!

Summary: My favorite vegan cookbook!
Review: I've tried quite a number of vegan and vegetarian cookbooks and I must say that this is my favorite by far. The recipes are really quite easy and the end product particularly delicious. Everything I've made has been great --- there are no duds! A lot of book in a little and inexpensive package.

Summary: bland
Review: If you want a good vegan book that has interesting and tasty, easy recipies, try HOW IT ALL VEGAN. If you want a good vegan book with amazing and mouth watering but often somewhat complicated recipies, try THE VOLUPTUOUS VEGAN. 150 Vegan Favorites, on the other hand is not worth buying. Most recipies in it taste the same; they are bland and boring. They seem to be for people who want to eat healthy but don't care if their food is flavorful.

Summary: SIMPLE RECIPES
Review: Jay Solomon's 150 Vegan favourites is an easy to follow recipe book with recipes that taste amazing!
I would advise to lower the amount of either curry paste ( whew hot!) or the amount of chiles required.... a little too spicy for us. The recipes are flavourful and you do not require "never to be found" ingredients. I am so happy I have this recipe book in my collection as I know I can rely on it for great tasting vegan recipes.

Summary: Solomon makes eating vegan easy, accessible, enjoyable!
Review: Solomon's recipes do not require expensive, hard to find ingredients usually only found at high-priced whole-foods stores. I was terrified to start cooking vegan because of the inaccessibility of some of the ingredients called for in many veggie/vegan cookbooks. Fear not--98% of the recipes in Solomon's book require only a trip to your local grocery. Ex: One medium onion, one carrot, 2 c. brown rice... I thought, "I can do this!" No miso, no "dew concentrate from the char-char plant, found only in the East Indian highlands". This is Veganism for Dummies--no offense, Jay! Oh yeah--the recipes are yummy, too. We're carnivores at heart, and we love them. I found veganism after a religious conversion to Coptic Orthodoxy which requires its faithful to not eat animal products for about 2/3 of the year. I thought I'd starve to death! Whether you're Vegan for health or spiritual reasons, Jay Solomon's book is a MUST HAVE, especially for beginners! I am happy to report that 150 Vegan Favorites is for EVERYONE. Hat's off to Jay Solomon!

Summary: Beautiful delicious food !
Review: Some of these recipes are a bit familiar but with the author's own twist . Many are very different. They are all delicious and didn't require additional seasonings and herbs to make them flavorful enough,which I frequently find with cookbooks. There are no pictures which is too bad because his dishes are colorful,but then the price is reasonable.... I want to know where he is a chef,I'd like to try that restaurant !

Summary: Good and easy
Review: The recipes in this book are pretty easy. Some of them are kind of bland but you can always add extra seasonings. I thought the Middle Eastern Noodle Pilaf was great after I sprinkled it liberally with garlic powder, extra pepper, and extra cumin.
