Great creative dishes like Lentil and Walnut "Chopped Liver" which my entire family loves (even the non-vegetarians). It is a like vegan Jewish paradise with recipes for lokshen kugel (noodle pudding), mammaliga, vegan chicken noodle soup, and eggplant caviar. It is as if she were sitting at the right hand of my grandmother in her restaurant veganizing each dish. Mmmmmm!

I like the concept of this book: mix and match salads, spreads, and soups. Save yourself some money and prepare a few dishes from scratch rather than heading to the Whole Foods salad and hot bars. You'll have enough food to last the week!

My only complaint is the format of the book. I would have loved to see some pictures and a splashier layout.

Here are the first three dishes I tried.

Tunisian boiled salad: I loved the addition of caraway seeds to this salad, and the fact that it incorporates cauliflower (one of my favorite veggies).

Better than chicken noodle soup: The homemade broth does resemble a mild chicken-style broth, and the finished dish is very comforting and homey.

White bean salad with cilantro and mint: I can't help it -- I love anything with fresh herbs. This lemony bean salad was delicious!

Good creative recipes for a not so vegan trying to be just a little more meat free (me), or anyone who just likes good food. Ahem. Vegan food.
