The first thing that impressed me was the availability of the ingredients used. The step by step instructions are also very well written and easy to follow. The photos are very appetising and really make you want to make the food. I found that the recipes will appeal not just to vegans/vegetarians but to all people who appreciate fine food.

Photos of the dishes are on the back of the book, by the way, and they do look good. “Why do they do that?” asks the author. “I mean, make a perfectly healthy fresh vegetable soup and then gunk it up with cream?” Yeah, I can relate. I’m the cook in the house and I’m usually too busy actually cooking to look at cookbooks. This would make a good cookbook for any vegan. I’m going to get started immediately. Vegan Voice Australia
