review 1: I really loved the recipes in this book. I wish the book had pictures of them though. At the end of each recipe is a calorie and nutrient break down. I took my favorite recipes and input them in cronometer so I can track my daily dieting. Each recipe is really packed with flavor and not bland at all. While each of the recipes were fun and different, there were a few ingredients that popped up in almost every dish. I totally recommend this book to anyone just trying to make healthier choices.
review 2: I bought this book not because I'm a vegan or necessarily trying to lose weight, but because I wanted to incorporate more healthy, vegan meals into my diet, and learn to cook vegetables that I want to eat but haven't found a way to make to my liking. I am a relati... moreve newcomer to cooking and often get intimidated by recipes with lots of ingredients and instructions. That's not to say those are bad recipes, but that I am less likely to make them. I like the creativity, variety and relative simplicity of the recipes here. Moskowitz takes something that I already enjoy, Brussels sprouts, but had previously only knew how to bake, and gives us shaved Brussels sprouts that are delicious and easy. I've also made the Masala curry tofu and the chil-lime rubbed tofu, both of which I enjoyed. There are recipes here for salads, sides, beans, tofu/tempeh, noodles, soups, chiles and stews. Some I know I probably won't actually make (like hummus), but just browsing them has given me lots of ideas (like forty-clove chickpeas and broccoli). And nutritional information IS provided alongside each recipe along with tips and serving suggestions. This is a great cookbook for both vegans and non-vegans offering a range of tastes (Bhutanese pineapple rice, anyone?), flavors and plenty of variety. I especially like that it has ideas for things I've been wanting to try but wasn't sure how to make as well as new to me suggestions (I had never heard of delicata squash) but the thing I most appreciate is that health and cooking basics are presented in a way that isn't intimidating to the novice cook. less
