review 1: As a fan of the author's blog, I bought this book honestly more as a way to support her than out of my own interest. This cookbook was clearly a passion project for her and I respect and admire that. That being said, I don't have kids so I felt like I wasn't really the target audience for this. Some of the recipes are a little too simple and basic to feel like they warrant a spot in a cookbook (such as a recipe for pitas with hummus - reminded me of something Pippa Middleton might write) but there are some that are creative and delicious. My mom recently made the vegetarian Indian Shepherd's Pie (p. 176) and it was incredible. Some comments have mentioned just how much her kids feature in the cookbook and yes, there are a lot of stories and anecdotes throughout. There is ... morealso a heavy reliance on soy products and faux-meat. But I think if you're looking for kid-friendly vegetarian/vegan recipes, this is a good book to have.
review 2: First thought, "Oh... this MUST be one of those cookbooks written by a woman with a blog who thinks she can write a book..." and it is.This book relies heavily on soy, which alters estrogen levels in women and girls.Mostly soy products used as fake meat rather than exploring actual meatless entrees utilized by other cultures.I see no mention of a garden or a farmer's market (correct me if I am wrong), just reliance on places like Whole Foods, which we in lower income brackets cannot afford to shop at every week. less
