"This is a vegan diet book, but forget your preconceptions and look at the food. Isa is an amazing cook - her recipes are delicious and written for people who want to lose weight, but not their enjoyment of food... Her book is worth buying for the salad dressings alone."
--BBC Good Food Magazine
"Appetite for Reduction is a collection of delicious-sounding, nutrient-dense, low-fat recipes designed to help with weight loss and, just as importantly, taste good!... If you're aiming to lose weight or just eat healthily, but still enjoy food, this is the book for you."

Product Description
Falling in the category of bestselling, vegan chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz's weight-loss cookbook features 100 recipes that are low fat, low-calorie, generous in portion size, and awesomely delicious. Is vegan food healthy (because it's free of animal products)? Or is it unhealthy? Aren't you missing out on some vitamins? Can you really lose weight on a vegan diet? Or are vegans actually anorexic? (All they eat is lettuce)! Finally, in "Appetite for Reduction", there's a cookbook that busts the myths about veganism, diets, getting skinny, and staying healthy, not to mention the best soundtrack for rocking out in your kitchen. Isa Chandra Moskowitz is known for making groundbreaking strides in vegan cooking, proving that going vegan doesn't mean sacrificing flavour. But after years of perfecting cupcake and cookie recipes, she wanted to lose weight. In "Appetite For Reduction", Moscowitz teams up with a top nutritionist to create 100 delicious, big-portion recipes - from Spinach Lasagna to Manhattan Glam Chowder - that are fewer than 400 calories per serving, low in fat and sugar, and high in fiber. Best of all, a healthy dinner can be on your table in under forty-five minutes.

It is so refreshing to find a vegan cookery book that uses 'normal' ingredients and gives sensible honest advice. I love this book. I am a fairly new vegetarian and want to go a step further and become vegan. The money I have wasted on so called 'vegan cookery books' doesn't bear thinking about and none of them have inspired me to take the next step. Isa's book is wonderfully refreshing. There are of course American names for some of the ingredients but once you've sussed that cilantro is corriander, escarole is endive, sriracha is hot chilli sauce and kasha is buckwheat then you've basically cracked it. The recipes are dilicious and are guided as Gluten-free, Soy-free and under 30 minutes which helps when you want something quick and easy to make. You don't even notice that the recipes are all low fat because they are really tasty.
I can thoroughly recommend this book.

I've already got a couple of Isa's books - and while the recipes are good,the layout and cross referencing drives me nuts. However the layout on this one is clean, and the cross referencing is minimal. The Hummus recipe is one of the best i've ever tasted (how can anyone get hummus wrong I hear people cry - well I have!), and the red wine and kalamata tempeh (I made it with seitan) is delish. Having the calorie count per serving really helps too. Only point to note is that this is an American cookbook, and needs some translation for UK users - so a tablespoon is a uk dessert spoon, arugula is rocket leaves, cilantro is coriander, shortening is cookeen or trex and canola oil is rapeseed oil. The cookipedia web site is a useful reference for translating.

Like other reviewers I too have been glad to find a book that uses easy to find ingredients and meals that you can prepare in 30 mins or less. If you have a bit of extra time (marinating etc) then there are options for this too. The only downside would be for some the lack of photos for each recipe (this seems to be the norm for many US cook books) but it is only a tiny downside and didn't spoil the book for me personally.
At the beginning of each chapter Isa Chandra has written some useful tips and suggestions which are also amusing and informative.
Being a bit of a spice lover there is plenty in this book for me to try with dishes from around the globe. Just make sure that you do a quick google for an alternative to some US names eg Eggplant - Aubergine / Collards - Spring Greens / Yams - Sweet Potatoes etc etc.
Another book I will return to on a regular basis as I improve my vegan repertoire of dishes.

The Best
This is the most practical vegan cookbook I have come across. Definitely worth the money. The humour makes it a nice read too (although it's a cookbook).
