review 1: This was the wrong cookbook for me at the wrong time. This would be the fancy cookbook. It has a lot of new ingredients I'd have to buy before I attempted most of these. This is the book that helped me realize it's easier for me to find cookbooks that are gluten-free first and I can edit for vegetarian. It has great information and as I get better at having to be gluten-free I might revisit this book. At this point I'm too overwhelmed by the gluten free aspect that I must have and the vegetarian aspect that is a secondary issue.
review 2: I really like Dreena's other books and I was really excited that she was releasing a new one. I read some mixed reviews, so I checked this out of the library before buying. I'm glad I did. I don't think I would purchase it for... more myself. Desserts take up a large portion of the book and I'm more interested in savory food. Additionally, there are a lot of recipes that use a large quantity of nuts. These are expensive, and you may want to be aware of this if you have an allergy in your family. I don't have kids, but Dreena has a lot of notes about adapting the recipes to appeal to children so perhaps this would be a good book for parents. Another turn-off for me was some of the language...even though vegan is in the title, she uses "plant-powered" a LOT in the book, which irks me. I feel like perhaps the target audience for this book was omnivore moms who want to start making more 'plant-based' meals for their families. Not to say you won't like the book if you don't fit into this demographic, but a lot of the recipe preambles seem to reflect this. less
