Summary: Fun book!
Comment: I bought all three of Isa's cookbooks as a package, and along with the recipes, you get plenty of stories, information and advice. It's a big help to someone like me that is new to vegan cooking and baking. I would definitely recommend getting Veganomicon along with it though, that cookbook is awesome!

Summary: I love this cookbook.
Comment: Well worth it, even if you aren't a vegan (like me) but want to steer your family (and you) in a meatless direction....the directions are easy to follow, the ingredients are ez to find, and inexpensive. Love the little stories and comments that go along with all the recipes. Also bought the cupcake book....also, wonderful! Thanks.

Summary: Just another 5 star review - I agree with the masses!
Comment: VWAV Review - October 10, 2008

There are over 150 recipes in this book - so I didn't want to leave a review until I had tried a substantial amount of them. Of the recipes I've tried I liked all but one. I think that's pretty good for a cook book! And I've tried a lot - I purchased this book in August it's been 2 months and I've tried twenty recipes so far. The only one I did not like was the Crispy Peanut Butter Cookies on page 200. It sucked big time - too crispy - so much that they fell apart. The taste wasn't that good either. But I have written many more positive reviews for each recipe on my personal blog - and I'm quite impressed with this book overall. I love it, in fact! I've tried recipes from all of the categories in the book - but my favorite recipes come from the Dessert and Muffins and Scone sections. If they were to do a second edition of this book - my only recommendation would be to add the Celcius cooking amount in recipes because it's annoying to have to look that up all the time. I can say that I really like the way the book is set up - with the Contents in the front listing all of the recipes and where to find them... and also an Index in the back. That is helpful because when you really like a recipe - it makes it easier to find it. And I also liked that just about any ingredient can be found in any grocery store - b/c I've seen other cookbooks in the Vegan category that list very certain name brand items - and that's okay if you live in Greater Seattle or something - but over in other countries it can be hell to find something even similar. So I give great praise for this book - I recommend it over Dreena Burtons books for many of the reasons stated above. Thanks Isa for such a great book.

Summary: My favorite cookbook
Comment: NOT just my favorite vegan cookbook, but my favorite cookbook EVER. I got this book a few weeks ago and I'm hooked. I had been in a cooking slump for a while, and this book has inspired me. Pretty much everything I've made has been phenomenal (ok, I'll admit the tempeh bacon didn't quite turn out, but I'm not ruling out the possibility that I did something horribly wrong!) The book is well-written, entertaining and funny. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Summary: Isa's awesome!
Comment: I just added this to my collection- so far, so good! Aside from the fantastic recipes, Isa's personality comes through and enhances the whole experience with her funny commentaries! As usual, she comes through as one of the best I've found in all my years as a happy vegan.
