Great for a new vegan!,
This review is from: 150 Vegan Favourites (Paperback)
I am 13 and on January 1st I couldn't think of any new years resolutions. Then I thought about one thing I always wanted to do...become a vegan. The first book I bought was this. I found it so easy to use and ever since I got it I haven't been able to stay out of the kitchen. I'm cooking all my meals fresh...every day. Being 13 I thought that I would fail straight away...but no- I didn't! These are very interesting and tasty, enjoyable recipes and I'd recommend then to anyone!

Easy cooking,
By Ruth Barringham "WriteSuccess" (Brisbane Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 150 Vegan Favourites (Paperback)
Jay Solomon's 150 Vegan Favourites is a book to be treasured. All the receipes use basic ingredients and most of the dishes are one-pot meals which is fantastic when you're busy, or just being lazy, as these meals can be prepared ahead and some can be stored for a few days or weeks. The receipes range from soups, salads and pasta dishes to grain, bean and vetetable dishes and desserts so there's something for everyone and even the most hardened carnivores will enjoy these meals. I'm always on the look out for simple and easy receipes which don't involve a lot of time or meat substitues and this book didn't let me down. I first borrowed it from my local library and I was so impressed that I bought my own copy. The meals are delicious and satisfying and the recipes produce more than enough to feed a family of four. I think everyone should have a copy of this book whether they're vegan or not. I'm not a vegan myself but I love the filling wholefood meals in this book. Bon Appetite.

A Nutritional Powerhouse!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 150 Vegan Favourites (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite cookbooks, and I own several hundred, including 40-50 vegetarian cookbooks and over a dozen vegan cookbooks. The recipes are full of the most nutritious vegetables, greens, and grains, combined with great spices. You'll find many recipes for a variety of greens, not just spinach, and for a variety of grains, not just pasta. And the finished recipes are a pleasure for the eyes as well as the taste buds -- bursting with color. Many of the foods recent studies have found to be extremely nutritious are included -- high antioxidant sweet potatoes and squashes and red peppers -- high fiber beans and whole grains. For those who eat a low to very low fat diet, oil is used moderately in the recipes and in ways that aren't integral to the recipes; the recipes can be easily adapted to be even lower in fat if desired. As an added bonus, many recipes will take well to freezing, so you can cook in volume and freeze for workday lunches. All in all, an impressive, extremely nutritious and delicious cookbook. You won't be disappointed with this one. 113 of 115 people found the following review helpful:

Solomon makes eating vegan easy, accessible, enjoyable!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 150 Vegan Favourites (Paperback)
Solomon's recipes do not require expensive, hard to find ingredients usually only found at high-priced whole-foods stores. I was terrified to start cooking vegan because of the inaccessibility of some of the ingredients called for in many veggie/vegan cookbooks. Fear not--98% of the recipes in Solomon's book require only a trip to your local grocery. Ex: One medium onion, one carrot, 2 c. brown rice... I thought, "I can do this!" No miso, no "dew concentrate from the char-char plant, found only in the East Indian highlands". This is Veganism for Dummies--no offense, Jay!Oh yeah--the recipes are yummy, too. We're carnivores at heart, and we love them. I found veganism after a religious conversion to Coptic Orthodoxy which requires its faithful to not eat animal products for about 2/3 of the year. I thought I'd starve to death! Whether you're Vegan for health or spiritual reasons, Jay Solomon's book is a MUST HAVE, especially for beginners! I am happy to report that 150 Vegan Favorites is for EVERYONE. Hat's off to Jay Solomon! 91 of 92 people found the following review helpful:

The best vegan cookbook available,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 150 Vegan Favourites (Paperback)
I bought a lot of vegan cookbooks when I first became vegan, and this is definitely the best. I have liked pretty much every recipe I tried, and there are still many post-its flagging promising recipes that I haven't got around to yet. You will see similar recipes in other books and magazines, but for easy preparation, good instructions, and taste, this is the best one-stop source book. I have just bought two extra copies to send to family members whom I will be visiting over the holidays.
