Summary: Missing Important Items
Review: I just got this book and have not tried any of the recipes yet so I can't review them. But I spent hours looking at the recipes and there are a few things I've noticed that I think other vegans/cooks need to be alerted to. First off, the recipes in this book are from her three other books. So if you have those, you don't need this one. I didn't realize that and already had one of her books so a lot of recipes are repeats for me. My next warning is about what is missing from this book...not a single recipe tells you how much it makes or serves. As one of the books these recipes come from is Vegan Cooking for One, be warned. Not a single recipe comes with nutritional/calorie information. And there is no glossary or ingredient notes. This I find most annoying as I found many, many, recipes with "yeast extract" (I know it's not nutritional yeast but don't know what it really is) and "hard vegan cheese" (what flavor? American? Swiss?). These are clearly UK items, which is why I'm so shocked that there isn't a glossary or ingredient note telling those not in the UK what these things are. So, my review is simply a warning that this book does not contain any new recipes from this author, it may be difficult to use if you're not in the UK, and if nutrition and caloric information is important to you this book will not be helpful.
