With a more personal style than Diet For a New America, John Robbins teaches us about the production and consumption of meat, chicken, fish, dairy and eggs. What I like about this book is how he comes from a spiritual rather than statistics-only perspective. Robbins encourages us to remember the simple health-nourishing habits like giving thanks and chewing your food slowly, those simple things we can easily forget in our modern ironic eat-quick-so-you-can-make-it-to-yoga-class lifestyles. I especially like the "What You Can Do" section, inspiring readers to educate themselves and others, giving tips on shopping/ cooking healthy foods and a listing of resources.
Jia Patton's recipes make the book for me. I had the privilege of taking some of her cooking classes with gourmet vegan food which melts your taste buds in its richness and diversity of flavor. In May All Be Fed, Jia abolishes stereotypes of vegan food being bland. Every time I have made the "Cream of Broccoli Soup" for friends they ask for the recipe and love it, deservedly so, with its creamy cashew base. The "Spinach Tofu Quiche" is wonderful too (people don't seem to miss the dairy); the "Plum Cobbler" feels healthy yet satisfies the sweet tooth going down. I recommend this book for anyone who is open to learning about the vegan diet, and who enjoys cooking and eating fulfilling and jazzy meals.

This was an uplifting book for long time vegetarians and new ones the same. I have told everyone I know about it and reccomend it to anyone intereted in becoming vegetarian. It teaches the basics of good health through a vegetarian diet. I loved it!

The commentary on the food industry, our choices, and our health are all quite interesting. The crowning achievement of this book, though, is the recipes. I would never have guessed that vegan cookies could be so delicious -- the best I've ever tasted. My family has made half a dozen of these recipes so far, and all of the meals have been absolutely scrumptious.

This is probably the best and most important book I've read in many years. It is both a manual for living and a wonderful cookbook -- thus a little difficult to categorize! Read more
