review 1: One of my all-time favorite cookbooks is Patrick-Goudreau's The Joy of Vegan Baking. I checked out this book from the library thinking (hoping/wishing) this would be a regular cookbook to sit alongside her baking masterpiece in the pantheon. Oh well. It's a great intro to veganism for newbies, and there are some fun recipes included to kickstart a vegan eating plan, but it just wasn't the book I wanted.
review 2: Good if you're looking for some ideas about what's involved in veganism and how to work it into your life. The tips on how to deal with what's commonly thought of as vegan-unfriendly situations (traveling, restaurants, etc) are great for vegetarianism as well. There are plenty of great recipes throughout.Don't be fooled by the claim that the book isn... more't preachy, though. Colleen lets you know very strongly her position on animal flesh and secretion consumption. She makes some dishonest, sweeping claims about meat consumption and livestock ranching, at one point going so far as to assert that there were absolutely no exceptions to one of her claims. I'd guess most people who are reading this book and have ethical objections to meat consumption won't care though. The rest should be able to look past the more sensational claims and still get plenty of good information. less
