Summary: Great & EASY Vegan Recipes
Comment: This book has some really great and EASY recipes in it. I emphasize "easy" because I'm not keen on recipes that are complicated. My family has been very pleased with the outcome of the few I've tried so far.
Would I recommend this book to others? Absolutely; along with the others from this author, Jo Stepanick. In fact, I have been recommending it at every church fellowship.
I am very, VERY pleased with it!

Summary: Fair
Comment: This book was fair. It did not really have a lot of recipes that were that helpful. I was a bit disappointed.

Summary: Simple, Nutritious, and EASY!!!
Comment: My husband and I are vegetarians, but not vegans. I decided to buy this recipe book anyway, knowing I could always add eggs and dairy. Great decision! I'm an accomplished cook, but have reached the point in life where I no longer want to spend hours in the kitchen (I'm 67) and where easy prep and healthy meals are my chief interests. This is now my #1, go-to cookbook. I glance through it in the mornings, assess my larder (and Stepaniak includes a comprehensive list of things to have on hand), and plan the evening's meal. After years of trying to simplify complicated recipes, or make adjustments in meals planned for omnivores, I'm thoroughly delighted to have tumbled onto this precious cookbook. Now I'm going to buy another of her books, DELICIOUS FOOD FOR A HEALTHY HEART, confident I can adjust the portions for two servings.

Summary: Great for 2 and as your family grows
Comment: I have had this cookbook for years. It has served my wife and I well, and now that we have two young sons, it continues to serve us well. The recipes make just the right amount, but it is so easy to double recipes to good effect.
My wife, who is not vegan, often asks me to make the French Toast, and my sons really like the Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes. I really like the Corn & Potato Chowder, being from the midwest, but one of our favorite comfort foods is the recipe for Baked Macaroni & Vegetable Casseroles. We always double the recipe so that we have leftovers, and we add the "chicken" seitan I make from the Homemade Seitan recipe. The Lentil, Mushroom & Macaroni Stew is also excellent.
I don't care for the tempeh recipes, so I just substitute something else. The only recipe that I can remember not liking was the Breaded Seitan Nuggets.
My copy has a "Special Lay-Flat Binding" which I think is really smart design. It ensures that I'm always pulling this cookbook down off the shelf and using it, because it's so practical. I liked this book so much I bought the same author's "Vegan Vittles."

Summary: a good very basic little cookbook to get you up and running
Comment: This cookbook is great because it has all the things you would want in a little cookbook. That being:
1) Easy veggie-based recipes with ingredients easy to find or that you already have, for the most part. Seitan and nutritional yeast aside, you can find everything else easily.
2) Calorie and nutritional information breakdown
3) Plenty of tips for each recipe
4) A blurb on each recipe that gives good information and gives you the "feel" of the recipe and it's use.
5) Small quantities. Seriously, how many people need to make 6 servings of everything!?!?!
6) Esp. good for getting kids to eat healty. This book is really all about that.
This book can save you money because you don't need to buy too many ingredients that you don't end up using, and the author suggests ways to use the rest of what you have in another recipe.
This cookbook is made by a person who eats the things she writes about. I also like that she has a slightly Polish/Russian slant in some of the dishes. I have another book, 1001 Low-fat Vegetarian Recipes, and practically everything in there has some "southwestern" bent. That can get annoying. There are plenty of types of vegetarian dishes in every culture, and it's nice to see a recipe, for instance, that quickly gets you close to the taste of pierogis (if not the shape), without all the fuss.
I'm not actually vegan, but I really like and tend to use cookbooks that don't rely on meat in every freakin' entree, and which use vegetable protein.
This book is also good for just simple brainstorming on using what you've got. A basic staple book to refer to when you you don't think you have anything to eat. It's not anywhere near gourmet in style, but will at least jar your brain to think vegan about your food choices.
