review 1: The intro to this book and the recipes themselves didn't seem to agree. Dr Jay Gordon's side bar exclaims he would be happy if you never use sugar again! Mayim's recipes then use more sugar than I put in most recipes, plus white flour. They talk about how much better eating vegan-- "plant-based"-- is, yet the recipes call for processed margarines and cheeses, ingredients that are pretty far removed from their plant basis. I would have loved to see more whole food vegan recipes. This book disappoints. I was hoping also to get more info about why Mayim is a vegan, expecting that someone with her credentials could back it up well. I was not impressed with the somewhat flawed and incomplete vegan propaganda section at the start. To be fair, it's not a "why you should be vegan"... more book, it's a recipe book. I was just hoping it would be better on the whole.
review 2: I am not vegan and encourage anyone looking to change their diet to first visit their physician and get the okay.With this being a bit of a trend now I didn't really have a high expectation for this book. I was pleasantly surprised. Mayim explains kitchen tips, pantry staples, vegan myths and nutritional information. The recipes are easy and sound yummy; Chickpea Burger, Sushi in a Bowl and Turtle Bread.The pictures are fabulous and make excited about using this book. A must ad to my cookbook shelf.Highly recommended for new meal ideas. less
