Summary: A high-spirited, healthy-living cookbook
Review: Compiled by an expert health and cooking counselor Jeani-Rose Atchison, Everyday Vegan: 300 Recipes For Healthful Eating is a high-spirited, healthy-living cookbook featuring meat and animal-product free recipes for all occasions, and much more - facts concerning food groups, advice concerning the deleterious effects of pesticides, genetically engineered, and irradiated foods, and food philosophy. Recipes include mouth-watering dishes such as Gingered Butternut Squash Soup, Asparagus Flan, Lettuce-Wrapped Tempeh Meatballs, and so many more. A first-rate resource for creative and health-conscious vegan chefs.

Summary: Everyday Vegan is for Everyone
Review: Jeani-Rose Atchison, author of Everyday Vegan, walks the walk. She grew up on a typical American diet as most of us did: "with no thought of nurturing, just the primitve notion of survival." This continued into her early thirties when she learned that she had compromised liver and kidney function. When she eliminated certain foods such as meat, dairy, and refined foods, she witnessed dramatic results: her body felt more relaxed, she moved easier, her joints were not stiff, and her breathing improved. Yes, this is a vegan cookbook, but more importantly, the first 70 pages are devoted to chapters on Conscious Living, Thinking of Children, Food Group Facts, and Food Philosophy. Attention is called to organic food and genetically engineered food, with case studies about the use of pesticides and children.
Recipe categories include appetizers/dips/spreads, condiments, soups, salads/dressings, breads, side dishes, entrees, desserts, and beverages. Instructions are given on how to sprout, and how to make tempeh. Winning recipes include Cashew French Toast, Asian Spring Rolls with a tamari/lime dipping sauce, and Carrot Cake that uses fruit as a sweetener. Everyday Vegan provides invaluable information, not just for those starting out on a vegetarian path, but for all health conscious individuals.

Summary: This book changed my life.
Review: This book really changed my life. It is written in more of a casual format, but its content is very good. It contains a great deal of diet guidelines, as well as a number of very good vegan whole-natural-food recipies. I own a number of vegan cookbooks but this is the one that I go to 90% of the time. In addition, following this book, I've lost about 50 pounds!
