Summary: Buy this incredible vegan cookbook!
Review: This cookbook is the antidote for the question often posed by well-meaning non-vegans: "don't you find a vegan diet limiting, with only vegetables and tofu?"I've cooked several of the dishes, all of which have been hits with vegan and non-vegan eaters - satisfying even to my meat-eating friends who believe only meat makes a meal! I served the squash gnocchi recently at a dinner party, and my guests were bowled over by it (it was worth every minute of effort). A cold cauliflower salad with a dressing involving capers was outstanding. What I most enjoy about the book is its quintessentially mediterranean nature: simple, fresh, uncomplicated, and absolutely delicious. Having grown up in an Italian family, I've hungered for vegan recipes with mediterranean roots that are not the usual pasta and sauce fare. This book has this and more. While I enjoy cooking with and eating soy products, this book takes a creative approach that doesn't rely on this as many vegan cookbooks do. It also has recipes appealing to every level, from the person wanting only a few ingredients and easy prep to the experienced cook willing to invest a good amount of time. Buy this book - you won't regret it!

Summary: This book makes it easy to be vegan
Review: This is a rare find; it's not often that I find a vegan cookbook in which the recipes don't taste like they're missing something. Every dish can stand on its own, and I guarantee you if you made an entire meal from this book, even the most die-hard dairy eater would barely notice. (I can't really speak for meat eaters, never having been one myself.) Leading a vegan lifestyle is not easy, especially if you really enjoy food. If you're having problems with eliminating dairy from your diet, you must buy this book. The recipes are easy and delicious and you really won't feel like you're missing out.

Summary: It's Easy to Be Vegan...
Review: With the help of this book, of course. Ms. Klein has put together a wonderful cookbook that allows you to eat heathfully without feeling deprived of eggs, meat and cheese. Even my husband who eats enough red meat for the both of us has enjoyed all the recipes I made. My family was amazed at the flavor and presentation of the Braised Pears in Red Wine Sauce that I made last night. My 11-year old daughter even told me that this is the dessert that she wants at her next birthday party. If you're looking to eat healthier or are interested in becoming a vegan, then this book is a great place to start.
