More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Since a vegan diet eliminates all animal products--no meat or fish, of course, but also no eggs, cheese, or milk--it is 100% cholesterol-free. For this reason, many people are attracted to vegan meals for health reasons. Others have philosophical or ecological concerns. The goal of this book is to create memorable dishes that aren't commonly found in vegetarian cookbooks. It's the New Soy approach, but for vegans. Using whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, and abundance of herbs and spices, author Lorna Sass shows us a vegan lifestyle that's anything but boring. From Mediterranean Red Lentil Pate to Phyllo Triangles Filled with Kale, Pinenuts, and Currants, The New Vegan Cookbook has a recipe guaranteed to entice anyone - even meat-eaters.
About the Author

This book has opened up a whole new way of eating for me!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Vegan Cookbook: Celebrating the Bounty of Cholesterol-free Fare (Paperback)
Having bought this book in an attempt to find some interesting recipes to cook up for my vegan friends I am seriously considering the idea of changing my eating habits aswell. Not only does the book explain, in a clear and simple manner, the health benefits of such a regime, it also demonstrates, in the form of tempting recipes accompanied by equally mouthwatering photos that being vegan does not necessarily mean boring. I was under the impression that veganism meant abstention from all the flavours and textures that make eating a pleasure - tofu, tofu and more tofu... but this book has definitely proved my misconceptions to be so wrong. I have already tried four of the recipes and not only did they work first time but they were heartily received by my (non vegan) friends and family too. I didn't even mention that they were in fact 'healthy vegan meals.'This book is one of the most refreshing and modern cookery books that I have seen recently.

Interesting recipe ideas but very US centric,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Vegan Cookbook: Celebrating the Bounty of Cholesterol-free Fare (Paperback)
This is a smallish glossy book that contains some interesting and straightforward recipe ideas. There aren't that many photos and the style and art work are not very good - different font styles clash and the pages are riven by large vertical bands of colour, why? Brits be warned that there are many references to things that are specifically American, like the usual cilantro and eggplant but also escarole; what is that??? Various products are also mentioned that are US market specific, so if you live in America that's fine, if not it's a problem.

Nice book,
By "bumbiebea" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Vegan Cookbook: Celebrating the Bounty of Cholesterol-free Fare (Paperback)
The New Vegan Cookbook is a nice cookbook with plenty of color photographs. Just a warning, though, I would not recommend it specifically for "new" vegans (the new in the title refers to nouveau cuisine type new rather than beginning) unless they are already cooks. I love Lorna Sass's books but found this one a bit more complicated than some of the others and more likely to require expensive/exotic ingredients. I would recommend her book "Short cut vegetarian" for new/beginning cooks or those who are looking for simpler recipes. I honestly see this more as a cookbook that you would give as a gift rather than use regularly in the kitchen - it's compact and aesthetically appealing. For myself, I would have liked to see more recipes and fewer graphic frills...but there is only so much that you can get into a book of this size. 77 of 80 people found the following review helpful:

Creative Interesting Food,
By B. Bridges - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Vegan Cookbook: Celebrating the Bounty of Cholesterol-free Fare (Paperback)
I am a vegan and my (domestic) partner is not. This cookbook has given us enough wonderful vegan recipes to keep him from killing me. I only wish that it were longer. Of particular note are the stuffed eggplants and the roasted sweet potato corn chowder. The authors provide helpful information on stocking a vegan pantry as well as preparing less familiar vegetables.Perfect for both new and seasoned vegans/vegetarians (or anyone who wants to add a few healthy, cruelty-free, dishes to the menu). 38 of 40 people found the following review helpful:

Lots of new and original ideas.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Vegan Cookbook: Celebrating the Bounty of Cholesterol-free Fare (Paperback)
This is one that you will definitely want to add to your vegan cookbook collection. It has beautiful pictures of many of the recipes and a couple of new and creative ideas for seasonong dishes that are sure to become a staple in my vegan kitchen. The recipes are easy to follow, most are quite original and not ones you have seen in other vegan cookbooks and all would be suitable to serve to non-vegan family and friends without having to endure suspicious looks. This is mainstream, gourmet food without animal products.
