Summary: Mouthwatering
Review: Excellent recipes with a real gourmet flare. Lots of variety and flavors. I especially like the menus listed in the front - you could easily pull together a wonderful gourmet vegan dinner party but other menu ideas show lunch options, simple soup meals, etc. There's some of everything in here. Roasted Sweet Potato and Corn Chowder was a recent hit with my husband. Some recipes are easier than others - some are definitely more of an activity.

Summary: Creative Interesting Food
Review: I am a vegan and my (domestic) partner is not. This cookbook has given us enough wonderful vegan recipes to keep him from killing me. I only wish that it were longer. Of particular note are the stuffed eggplants and the roasted sweet potato corn chowder. The authors provide helpful information on stocking a vegan pantry as well as preparing less familiar vegetables.Perfect for both new and seasoned vegans/vegetarians (or anyone who wants to add a few healthy, cruelty-free, dishes to the menu).

Summary: This cookbook is wonderful!
Review: I did try more than once almost all dishes in this book and they are all wonderful. As a vegetarian I was tired of salads and was curious about vegan alternative. I borrowed many books from library and after looking and trying many different things I thought this book is above all others! It delivers consistency and delicious results every single time! I purchased 2 of her books. Lorna knows how to combine flavor with practicality. I don't know how somebody ranked this book with one star, I think person must be complete klutz. I am very enthusiastic about this book. It has become staple in our kitchen. And I would encourage to browse through her other books-although there are some meat dishes, I am crazy about Grand Marnier tofu sauce-forget chocolate-this is the best treat ever!
I would give this book 6 stars if I could.

Summary: Tasteless and Bland
Review: I was excited as I flipped through the pages of this cookbook -- many of the recipes sounded tantalizing, and all the color photos displayed tasty looking dishes. HOWEVER, after trying out my first recipe (the curried tempeh and grains), both myself and my dining companion were rather let down. We found the dish incredibly bland and not at all what we had expected. Despite the dissatisfying first attempt, I didn't let that deter me from trying again. Surely the Thai-Inspired Broccoli w/Coconut Sauce could not fail.... Well, it did. Again, neither of us clamored for seconds, as the dish lacked any real flavor or punch one would expect of something inspired by Thai food. Again and again, this cookbook failed to satisfy -- definitely not a keeper.

Summary: Finally a down to earth vegan cookbook
Review: Most of the ingredients for the recipes in this book are already in my pantry. The recipes are low fat high energy and pleasant tasting. The pancakes are a must try for anyone tired of looking for vegan breakfast fare. The "New Vegan" became my new best cookbook. It is also a great first intro to Veganism.

Summary: Nice book
Review: The New Vegan Cookbook is a nice cookbook with plenty of color photographs. Just a warning, though, I would not recommend it specifically for "new" vegans (the new in the title refers to nouveau cuisine type new rather than beginning) unless they are already cooks. I love Lorna Sass's books but found this one a bit more complicated than some of the others and more likely to require expensive/exotic ingredients. I would recommend her book "Short cut vegetarian" for new/beginning cooks or those who are looking for simpler recipes. I honestly see this more as a cookbook that you would give as a gift rather than use regularly in the kitchen - it's compact and aesthetically appealing. For myself, I would have liked to see more recipes and fewer graphic frills...but there is only so much that you can get into a book of this size.

Summary: Flavor explosion!
Review: This book full of beautiful pictures and easy step by step instructions. The dishes are flavorful and look like they just came out of a gourmet kitchen! I would make any of these meals for a family and think any non-vegan will drool over these colorful and tasty foods.
After eliminating my coffee habit with the help of a wonderful coffee substitute made from soya beans called "Soyffee", I'm feeling so much better. My doctor recommended it to help lower my cholesterol and promote strong bones. It's available online at www.S o y c o f f e e.com to find it.
You can also learn how to stock your pantry to make great meals, and it provides online links to great gourmet ingredient sites! Love this!
