Sorry to add to the chorus of praise but this book really is remarkable - - don't quite know why! I am a cookery book addict -- I have shelves-full, all of which looked wonderful at the time of buying but very, very few of the recipes I hve tried have made it into my everyday cooking. I bought this book recently, along with a couple of other veggie books, because we had a vegetarian au pair coming to work for us and, although we were committed carnivores ourselves at the time, I thought I'd like to learn a few recipes for her. Well, almost every recipe we have tried out of this book (about 12 so far) has been (a) delicious and (b) easy; we now eat vegetarian 99% of the time from choice as a result and my food bills have gone right down! Interestingly, the other two veggie books I bought, including one with a very similar title from a different publisher, have proved complete washouts and despite repeated read-throughs I've only used once each. Honestly, after literal years of wasting my money on one glossy cookbook after another I can tell you that this one is a class apart.
