Go without this book! Incomplete recipes for turgid slop! I have been a veggie for 22 years, and am a good cook/baker, so I thought I'd try this. It looks like a good idea (if you can get past the pseudo-science in the intro), but the recipes just don't work, that's if she's bothered to finish them - several had bits missing, which is just lazy writing/editing.

Great Book - A Must For Anyone Wanting to Eat Themselves Healthy :-) I bought this book after it was recommended to me by my nutritionist. Being a vegetarian and following such a strict diet regime seemed really daunting at first, that was until I got this book. You wouldn't believe how many wonderful variations of everyday food is in here, just changed to be full of lovely goodness. I really recommend it, it'll give you inspiration even if you don't follow all the recipes exactly.
