Great book 10 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
I've had this book for a couple of weeks and love it. It's crammed full of healthy low-fat plant-based recipes with delightful photos. (So many vegan recipe books don't have a single picture). I've made a few meals already - the spicy sausage is great as are the black bean chocolate brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Can't wait for the next book.

Quick, Easy, Low-fat, YUMMY & Cruelty-Free! 16 Jan 2011
By Roxanne Sumner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Meeting Lindsay on Twitter shortly after deciding to go Vegan was one of the best things that ever happened to me and I was really excited when Lindsay chose me to be one of her testers for this cookbook. Newly vegan I wasn't sure where to start. Lindsay introduced me to new foods with her creative, easy, few ingredient recipes.

I thought Chickpeas were something you sprinkled on salads at the salad bar but Lindsay has some really tasty recipes with them. I used to make Tofu Scramble with tofu, oil and a box mix. No oil, some tofu and a few spices add up to the best Tofu Scramble I've ever had. Make French Toast without eggs? Lindsay does and it is better than the real thing. Home fries without the fat? Lindsay has it! The BBQ Chop Wrap is one of my favorite all time recipes. I make the single serving brownie almost every week! And don't get me started on her Pumpkin Pie...

Recently I discovered that I can't tolerate Gluten and also had to cut back on Soy - Lindsay's book has many recipes that I enjoy.

Giving up all the fat for flavorful food cleared up my skin and helped me lose weight while feeling good.

I highly recommend Lindsay's book for anyone who enjoys food.

What a GREAT vegan cookbook 22 Jan 2011
By DebAnn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
So, okay! I'm new to being a vegan and I also am a diabetic. I have been looking through vegan cookbooks out there and have been rather disappointed. Then I stumbled upon the Happy Herbivore blog and tried a few recipes, took a couple of the courses and decided to pre-order this book. Wow! What a great purchase. These recipes are easy, quick and tasty. Added to that you have ingredients that are not that hard to find here in the US. On top of that, the recipes are easy to adapt if needed for someone who is diabetic or needs to eat gluten free or things like that. I haven't fixed every recipe because I have only had the book a few days but I have read through the cookbook completely and I know that for me I have found MY FAVORITE COOKBOOK.
Thanks Linday for creating this book. I really, really needed it. The Happy Herbivore Cookbook: Over 175 Delicious Fat-Free and Low-Fat Vegan Recipes

A Must Have for your Cookbook Library 19 Jan 2011
By Courtney - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
For anyone wanting to eat healthy--vegan or not--this cookbook is a necessary addition to your cookbook library. Packed full of healthy, great tasting, easy to follow recipes, this cookbook will make you forget you are cooking "healthy" and just allow you to focus on and enjoy great tasting food!

Along with being vegan, I also avoid gluten and refined sugar, and I have no problem cooking out of the Happy Herbivore Cookbook. From frittatas to scones to dips and sauces to burgers, every recipe I have made has been delicious. You must buy this book!

The only oils that can stand to be heated at high temperatures are coconut oil, sunflower oil, and safflower oil. &quote;

&quote;
Most cooking oils, such as canola, olive, corn, and peanut, have very low burning points. When they are heated beyond that boiling point, either by sautéing food, baking it in the oven, or deep-frying food in oil, the nutrients in the oil are lost. This makes the oil a high-calorie and high-fat food, yet one without any nutrients. In other words, the oils are empty calories. Worse still, heating oils beyond their boiling points causes free radicals to be created. &quote;
