  rating: 4 of 5 stars<br/>So I am not actually a vegan ... or even a vegetarian ... but I bought this book because one of my really good friends is a vegan and I wanted to be able to cook for her when she came over.  I really like the fun tone of this book, and it is full of great tid-bits of information - like a whole page of different things that you can substitute for eggs.  I also like that the author is really up-front that vegan doesn't necessarily mean healthy and that not everything vegan needs to be whole-grain, etc.
<br/>
<br/>I have only made one recipe from this book so far, but I am willing to highly recommend it based on that recipe alone: The Fauxstess cupcake.  This is a vegan cupcake that honestly looks and tastes just like the real deal Hostess cupcake - right down to the little squiggle on top.  It is a little labor intensive but SO worth it.  Even my non-vegan friends request these cupcakes now.  
<br/>
<br/>I'll post more when I've had a chance to try out some of the other recipes
