One of the best vegan/vegetarian cookbooks I own, and I have quite a collection. The recipes I have tried are all delicious exactly as is with no "tweaking" required. Also, recipes don't rely on too many exotic ingredients which you have to make extra trips to purchase. The recipes are fairly easy/quick.

This is one of those cookbooks I turn to all the time, especially for appetizers. I love the spiced carrot spread, red lentil pate with tarragon, marinaded tofu skewers with cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms stuffed with spinach, bread crumbs and fresh herbs. I also like that the authors included some recommended menus -- although they do tend to be rather time intensive.

During my 'year of eating vegan', this was the book I used most. I still use some of the recipes even though I have returned to a more-inclusive diet.

You might find the ingredients in a well stocked pantry of a very nice restaurant. This will be on the back shelf for a very long time. Too expensive to make the recipes.
