Since I systematically try to slip some booze into everything I cook, I'm not at all surprised that I like this book. What does surprise me is that these recipes aren't "good for vegan recipes"; they're just good. What's more, you could make them with or without the booze, and I'm sure they'd still be delicious. So far, I've made a few of these, and I am really digging the Merlot sorbet recipe.
I'm not a vegan (or even a vegetarian), but I generally don't eat to much meat, and as far as exercises in healthy, compassionate living go, you could do worse than a cookbook that starts each section off with a cocktail recipe. Also, as a side note: the photos in this are really vivid and appetizing, and the celebrity quotes sprinkled throughout are quite funny.

I skimmed this. I didn't see anything I'd like to make but I liked the quotes and the layout.

Amazing! I have made several dishes from this book for various house parties. You can't go wrong! Must try the potatoes. They were a huge hit!

Some of the recipes here look really good. There are stunning photos of ingredients; not as many photos of the completed dish as I would prefer but there are a few. Obviously you could make many of these recipes with conventional products rather than vegan ones; but you probably can't substitute the liquor.
