I've made several recipes from this cookbook and while they were all rather involved, they were also quite good. Most of the recipes seem to require multiple steps and take 1+ hours not including baking/cooking times, but the end result has been worth it. I would recommend preparing the recipes with the assistance of at least one other person as the various steps have to all come together at the same time and can be a bit hectic if attempted solo! Despite that, I'd love to have a copy of this cookbook on my kitchen's bookshelf for times when I'm feeling adventurous and ambitious! I hope to someday visit the restaurant : )

One of the restaurants I want to dine at if I make another visit to New York. Appreciate having restaurant cookbooks if I don’t live in/can’t visit the area or visit frequently, and for my favorite places so that I have the recipes in case the restaurant ever closes, an all too frequent occurrence. This cookbook has a comprehensive and very helpful index. The food looks healthy and delicious.

The best vegan cookbook and restaurant, if you ask me. Even the Kansans devour food inspired by this place.

I'm not even Vegan, which is interesting because I seem to choose more Vegan cookbooks than even just vegetarian, but there seems to be more creativity and passion in the vegan cook books inventory.

I'm definitely not vegan but I am definitely way into this deliciousness.
