I absolutely love the recipes in this book , even though I am not vegan I find that vegan dishes tend to pack so much flavour into the recipes , and these are perfect with the little tip of which meats would also go with the dish. The recipes are easy to do and contain ingredients that are easy to find. I would definitely recommend this book.

I've made quite a few recipes from this book, and each one has been delicious. I get recipe books from the library, because usually there are only a few recipes in them that I would continue to make regularly, but this one has a higher-than-average number of recipes that I've continued to make.

The animal products recommended for the recipes are at the bottom of the page, and I appreciate that the recipes are complete recipes without the animal products, rather than recipes saying you can leave out the meat/animal ingredients (which are often an important component of the recipe and would leave an incomplete meal). I haven't tried the animal additions, so can't comment on the recipes with them included.

I think this is a brilliant choice for someone cooking for a group with people who both do and don't eat animal products. No worrying about how to cater for both the vegan and anti-vegan of the group. It's also going to be a perfect choice for people like my mother, who want to eat more plant-based but can't fully do that because it's 'normal' to eat animal products.

Absolutely fantastic. Reminded me of some of my favorite recipes, adding new twists, and new recipes for things I’ve been dying to make myself. Will be perfect for summer cooking. This is a must-buy.
