This is a paperback book but it’s LARGE and HEAVY, very.
It has absolutely gorgeous photos for many of the raw ingredients and for most of the recipes.
I’m not the least surprised that I found out I do not have a well equipped kitchen, but I’m now very interested in getting a microplane grater and a mandoline.
I borrowed this book from the library, renewing it several times, but I don’t plan to use it or buy it. However, I can see giving it as a gift to friends who enjoy cooking and who do have a ...more

2/5 estrellas.
La verdad es que me parece malísimo que editen un libro que no está localizado. Ésto funciona donde el autor vive, en Los Ángeles, ¿pero cómo van a sacarlo acá sin siquiera una lista de cosas con las que podamos reemplazar el 95 % de los ingredientes? Porque, en serio, son inconseguibles.
Se lleva sus dos estrellas solamente por la hermosa edición y porque me encantó la parte en la que te invita a ser horticultor, nada más.

Delicious phototography, I want to cook it all. Don't be put off because it's vegan, it's more about good quality ingredients, used well.

Saw this in the bookstore, it's incredibly beautiful!

Positively spectacular cookbook! The recipes listed under headings “Late Night” and “Very Late Night” are lovely to enjoy while relaxing after a rough week, or to share sitting in front of the fireplace while bunkered inside during a snow storm. [will expand on this review once I have finished making all the recipes]
I found the layout of this book frustrating. Recipes were split across pages to accomodate a wordy (unnecessary) blurb from the author and photos of the dishes were quite often on the back of the recipe page.
I flipped through this book in a store and the photos and recipes looked great, I bought the kindle version b/c I find that it's easier for me to use the cookbook on a color kindle/ipad. And I have too many books for my small house.
I've been a vegetarian (and for two years a raw vegan) for a long while, but recently decided to dip into veganism. I have some of the great classics (vegetarian epicure 1 and 2, Laurels, etc. But I wouldn't end my cookbook collection at Julia Child or the Joy of cook ...more

This cookbook has beautiful photos and well-written, unique recipes. I am not vegan, but am looking for recipes featuring whole foods and I found that most of the recipes in this cookbook fit that requirement. Tonight I made the Ceviche de Vegan and the Nutty Mushroom Risotto. I think that vegan recipes are really good especially when you add meat or dairy products to them. :) I used homemade chicken stock for the Risotto and it was fantastic. Both the Ceviche and the Risotto were hits at dinner

this is a good vegan cookbook for people who aren't into meat substitutes. nothing revolutionary, but all the stuff I tried was good: muhammara (it was a bit too bready, but tasted better the longer it sat in the fridge), jicama salad, celery root & fennel chowder, and broiled tofu with shiitakes and carrots. there are recipes for drinks and a large selection of good looking desserts, and it would be a great resource for throwing parties or going to a potluck, because though the recipes are simp

The Mushroom Risotto was fantastically tasty and quite simple to make! (I omitted the nuts due to a lack of hazelnuts in my house and added Shimenji mushrooms on top of Porcini, Oyster, Cremini and Shitake mushrooms.)
I adore this book! I would highly recommend for people who are comfortable in a well equipped kitchen. Some of the recipes/ingredients/tools/techniques may be a bit beyond the beginner vegan, or chef.
An absolutely GORGEOUS book. Can't wait to cook every recipe!

A must have for any vegan kitchen!
One of the most beautiful cookbooks I have seen. Everything looks delicious.
A beautifully constructed book. Unfortunately, it didn't have one recipe I was interested in attempting to make. Overly fussy, for me. Photographs beautifully, though.

Lots of yummy looking recipes, may buy my own copy in the future.
Whether you are vegan or not, everything in here sounds delicious and the photos are gorgeous. But like all good cookbooks--it needs to come with a cook:)
This book was too fancy. There was not one recipe that sounded good to me and majority of them had ingredients I've never seen in the grocery store or just looked to expensive and not tasty enough.

nice fresh recipes and beautiful pics
