Summary: This one is a keeper
Comment: I own several of Robin Robertson's cookbooks, but this one is my favorite. It is, in fact, my favorite cookbook period. Everything I have ever made from it has turned out well and been eaten happily by children. There is no higher cookbook praise than that. This book is so exhaustive in its repertoire that there is always something for any occasion. I also like (and use) the many sauces and dairy replacements (like the creamy whipped topping and egg-and-butterless hollandaise) even if I'm not making something specific from the book. This cookbook is exhaustive in scope so it is my go-to for just about everything. It even prompted me to write a fan email to the author which I haven't done since, gee, I don't think I've ever written a fan letter to anyone before Robin. If you want a good vegan cookbook then look no further, buy this book.

Summary: Incredible recipes
Comment: I have tried about 10 recipes so far and each one has been fantastic, esp. the black bean & sweet potato enchiladas and the black bean chili with cilantro pesto. Amazing!!! The recipes are a bit time-consuming but worth every minute!! Love it!

Summary: Pretty darn good
Comment: Everything I've made from this book rocked (especially the black bean and sweet potato curry!), but I'm missing a substantial number of pages. I don't have the recipe for vegan pesto, for instance. I was rather disappointed by that fact, but the food's pretty good otherwise.

Summary: Meh/shrug
Comment: When I need to just thumb through a big book and find something new and different to try, this is the book I choose. It has plenty of recipes and it covers a fairly broad spectrum.
But nothing here really floats my boat. I think because it is too broad. Very few of the recipes I've tried are exceptional and a lot of the recipes are filler that I know I'll never make and don't know anyone who would.
Overall it is a very solid cookbook with more than enough recipes to get you going and help you figure out what your particular vegan niche might be. Sort of like vegan with training wheels.

Summary: New to Vegan/Vegetarian??
Comment: Ok first of all- I am a vegetarian/ aspiring vegan that doesn't have the time to write reviews.
But for anyone who is willing and open minded enough to go vegan- this book is one you will reference for years to come. I am the kind of cook who opens three cookbooks and pick what I like from the recipes and create my own concoctions- and this is the basis of all my thoughts.
I live in Germany- and don't speak german so it's difficult to find weird ingredients- well this cookbook is one you can find many recipes that don't call for nutritional yeast, miso- or seitan. Although I have now claimed seitan as my favorite gyro meat!!!!!
To those of you who are being compassionate mindful eaters- my children thank you :)
