So I was really excited when it finally arived today. Would it be worth the money spent?
I started flipping through it, reading here a bit, looking there at a recipe - starting to look at recipes closer, reading more, reading more.... An hour later I was still marvelling at the recipes, trying to decide if I should start with the Hot and Sour Soup with Woodear Mushrooms or with the Kabocha-Udon Winter Stew. I must confess I'm sold. This book is brilliant.
I don't think there is anyone except for me who didn't buy it yet, but if there is still a soul out there who has not yet read THE BOOK - go get it. You won't regret it. Hundreds of wonderful recipes, mouthwatering photos, and the part I love best is the index. You can search recipes by soy-free, gluten-free, low-fat, under 45 minutes... Finally a really helpful index.
Verdict: Worth every penny (cent) spent - and much more. Wonderful job, Isa and Terry.

I really respect books that provide a really useful, comprehensive index - nothing's worse than a couple hundred recipes and no easy way to find what you're looking for. Okay, so maybe there are worse things, but it still ranks up there...

I agree - I love this book. I actually barely posted anything to my blog in December because every recipe I made was straight from this book! I usually figure if I can get 2-3 decent recipes from a book, that is a success. I already have over 10 from this one.

Hi Anke! I bought this cookbook even before I decided to try becoming a vegan; it is fantastic! I've made so many dishes from it and they have proved to be a great hit for those who are afraid of trying new things. Glad to hear you finally have a copy :)
Agreed!!
