review 1: I borrowed this book from the library in 2013 and never did more than read a few pages. I finally got it again in 2014 after I became vegan and read Alicia Silverstone'a other book (which I loved), The Kind Mama. I thought this book covered a lot of good information and has great suggestions for dipping your toes into veganism. Make no mistake -- Alicia Silverstone thinks you should be vegan and has a hard time not reminding you every few minutes -- but there is great advice in here and it comes from a kind, gentle soul.If you want more facts without all of the "Alicia Silverstone" lovey gooey goodness, then I'd recommend Vegan For Her (another wonderful book focusing on vegan nutrition...despite the title, it has lots of good info for men, as well). But I loved Alicia Si... morelverstone, for the most part. She feels real to me, and someone who readily admits her own struggles and skepticism.The book is broken into sections of (essentially) 1. Why you should be vegan. 2. Sample Diets (Flirting with Veganism, Veganism, or Macrobiotic Superhero). 3. RecipesI haven't had a chance to try the recipes, and I'm looking at her Macrobiotic recipes since I'm already vegan, but they look pretty good from the page.Bottom Line: I'm buying this book for myself and I recommend you take a look at it from the library. Great info and great book if you can read it without feeling bad about not being vegan. We're all on our own journeys -- she's enthusiastic about where she is on hers.

I love the beginning summary in Alicia's book and have even purchased a few copies for friends. But 3 months later I still have not tried any of her recipes! Although they look yummy and have given me some inspiration, they seem too difficult and have ingredients that I'm not sure where to find or can't afford at Whole Foods. I still got a lot of insight and liked her candid and cute tone throughout. A lot of people have slammed her like, what does she know about health and nutrition? Well, having read at least 6 books on nutrition recently I know that this type of information does not come pre-packaged and easy-to-find in our community today. Ms. Silverstone has definitely done her research but has written in a way to reach many more than just medical-studies-readers. Nice work, Girly! keep it up!
