Great for beginners The good points of this book are loads of info on nutrition, simple to follow recipes, easy to find ingredients, and it doesn't rely much on fake meats either, unlike many other vegan cookbooks. However, being a bit more experienced at cooking, I felt it wasn't really aimed at me. While it's certainly more of a book for beginners and is therefore ideal for any new vegan, there are still admittedly few things, though not that many, that might appeal to a more experienced cook. I have only given it... more info
Generally a good book for beginners and more experienced Vegan cooks This area is outside my remit, so I drafted in a Vegan friend for her comments on this book. She described it as the equivalent of `Nigella Express', i.e. fullest flavour without the effort! Possibly not the best title for this book, as in the use of the word 'Feasts', and it is true to say that the recipes do use `Vegan' variations of ingredients, e.g.:- Vegan mayo/cheese slices/margarine, chocolate or soya milk/cream and some do advise checking the ingredients list of each product, e.g. gravy powder... more info
very disappointing - if you already cook This is a very BASIC cookbook - eg. a whole section on pasta with basic tomato and veg style sauces. Most things - cakes, dips etc just substitute vegan margarine or rice/soy milk for the dairy alternative. I found it Really dull and have not cooked anything from it. I have to say though, that I am in my 40's and quite a keen cook - so if you are a teen or new to cooking it could be a good basic starter text to get you going . I bought the book to get new ideas for my vegan teen based on the amazon reviews... more info
Not so simple I have not been enticed into actually cooking something from this book yet I'm afraid. As such I may not be the best reviewee. However, if you're looking for simplistic recipes this is not the book for you. The recipes include far too many ingredients in my opinion. An example of this is the "spring rolls with dipping sauce" it lists 20 ingredients. This book also has no pictures which may prove highly important to some.
