A great addition to anyone's cookbook collection!, 25 Nov 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: PETA Celebrity Cookbook: Delicious Vegetarian Recipes from Your Favourite Stars (Paperback)
This is the newest addition to several cookbooks offered by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). (Others include "The Compassionate Cook" and "Cooking With PETA.") This will make an excellent cookbook for you and anyone you know who is vegetarian or vegan, or aspiring to be. There are personal quotes from each of the celebrities who contributed a recipe or recipes, including Alec Baldwin, Paul McCartney, Montel Williams, Jackie Chan, Bob Barker and Bill Goldberg. Each quote proves that these celebrities are not empty-headed morons as some people have suggested that celebrities are; rather, these celebrities are intelligent, caring, kind and compassionate humans who are trying to make a positive contribution to the world. The quality of the book itself is excellent, with full-color photographs and glossy pages, and the recipes are all healthful, nutritious and very tasty. Some of our favorites include Tofu French Toast, Chan's Corn Chowder, Savory Italian Bruschetta, Masala Potatoes, Miami Blues Red Beans with Garlic, Heroic Shepherd's Pie, Berkley's EZ BBQ Chickpeas, Feel Good Kentucky Fried Chic-Kett, All Star Chili, Legendary Chickpea Stew, Big City Cashew-Chili, Spicy and Lean Black Bean Chili, Low-Fat Super Savory Asian Forest Curry, Hip Hoppin' John, Baby-Get-Back "Ribs", Mama's Mock "Meatloaf", Heart-Healthy Wild Rice with Walnuts and Raisins, The Sweetest Truffles, Applesauce Cake, Melt in Your Mouth Yellow Cake, Tantalizing Trifle, Sublime Key Lime Pie, Berry Delicious Tangy Sorbet, Cosmic Carrot Cake with Frosting, Choco-Gingerbread Cookies and Flaky Pie Crust Dough. And we are just starting! All of the recipes are simple and easy to make, with ingredients already on hand in most kitchens. And best of all, all of them are cruelty-free and 100% vegan! Enjoy. It is well worth the low price.

A must have for any animal rights supporter., 11 April 2005
By Omen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: PETA Celebrity Cookbook: Delicious Vegetarian Recipes from Your Favourite Stars (Paperback)
Now this isn't my favorite vegan cookbook. And to be honest almost all these recipes can be found on the peta website. But I think it is a classic. I use the book once in awhile, but once I do a recipe i can pretty much wing it (except the desserts) This is a book you should get because it is helping support peta. It also has bios from vegetarian celebrities with pictures and how they became vegetarian. It would actually be a really good coffee table book. I haven't had any trouble with the book falling apart, but because it doesn't have many recipes (less than 80) it isn't my most used cookbook. All the recipes are very simple with easy ingredients to find. I think this cookbook is a must!

Great intro to vegan cuisine / Not so comprehensive, 5 Jun 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: PETA Celebrity Cookbook: Delicious Vegetarian Recipes from Your Favourite Stars (Paperback)
Stunningly designed - this book is a great introduction to vegan cuisine. There is a great assortment of recipes, many of which are easy to prepare. While I enjoyed the flashy design - I wonder if the amount of recipes inside makes it worth the price. A better choice might be PETA's earlier cookbook "The Compassionate Cook" - it doesn't have pictures but there are far more recipes which are easy to prepare and it's sure to become a book that you'll rely on daily.
