[Erin · Rating 2 out of 5]

Good ideas for vegan comfort food but depends too much on ready-made vegan replacements such as "Just Egg" and Beyond Meat. Even some sauces are premade. Lots of nice photos.

[Mrs. Dunwell · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a disappointing cookbook. The recipes are far from innovative (breakfast sandwich, for example), and it uses a lot of premade ingredients. On the flip side, if you're in a time crunch, that could be helpful; just not a cookbook for me.
