This is not all vegan meals, there's are vegetarian dishes that do use honey and eggs like the delightful Carrot Fritters and, because my family has not given up meat completely, just a way of bringing more veg into our diets and helping make meatless meals something we all look forward to.

Written in a friendly voice that supported my move to using more veg, this cookbook is supported with many wonderful color pictures, on page marginal notes to help you out, and side notes and information on how flexible and and seasonal recipes can be, this is a cookbook that has made a true carnivore family eat vegan muffins, cauliflower tacos, and Sesame Peanut Noodles and come back for more!… (más)

Great compendium featuring many well and lesser known vegetables and how to prepare them all.

Some of the vegetables receive a little more love from the author, and I did want more recipes, but overall the ingredients were treated respectfully and the recipes appealing. Also included were instructions on how to cut each vegetable in several different ways, which I think is quite useful for every cook to know.

This would be a great gift for people who are trying to broaden their cooking skills, or those seeking to increase the amount of vegetables that they prepare and consume.
