Summary: strange recipes
Comment: Too many very weird ingredients and strange unappetizing recipes. I am a long time experienced, good cook and have dozens of cook books, but I regret buying this book. I will likely not make a single dish from this book. The authors writing style is trying hard to be cutesy and ends up just being annoying.

Summary: just fabulous
Comment: I have made a recent change to living meatless and this book is an amazing companion on the journey! Every recipe I have tried is easy to follow, simple ingredients, and tastes excellent.

For anyone who says you can't have a hearty, "comfort food" meal without meat... this book will prove them wrong!

Summary: comprehensive
Comment: I am venturing into vegetarian cooking in a serious way only recently. This cookbook gives me many new ideas as well as the basics to get going. The author has a lot of experience; this is one of many cookbooks she has authored. Because it is "vegan" it does not rely on dairy as many vegetarian receipes do. The range of receipes is comprehensive. My friend who has been vegetarian for 20 years got excited when she read it and is ordering one for herself. I can recommend it to both novice and experienced vegetarians.

Summary: Wonderful Cookbook!
Comment: I'm not a vegan or vegetarian (but I don't each much meat or dairy,) but I love this cookbook!

The book is wonderful--entertaining, educational and, most importantly, it is filled with glorious and interesting recipes with flavors from around the world.

This book is great for beginning and advanced vegan cooks. For beginners, the book includes basics for what food to stock in your pantry, kitchen equipment, cooking and prepping terminology. The book also includes a helpful section on how to prepare vegetables, grains and beans by grilling, roasting and steaming.

The recipes are the crux of the book and they are great! Full of flavor dishes like portobella salad with spicy mustard dressing, tomato rice soup with roasted garlic and navy beans, marzana chili verde, spinach linguine with basil and cilantro pesto and artichokes and spicy tempeh and broccoli rabe with rotelle are just a few of the recipes I've tried and love.

Veganomicon also contains many terrific tips and great comments by the authors.

Highly recommend for all cooks!
