   I signed on to review this book because I am so excited about it, but had to respond to the last reviewer, who says the recipes in it are too high in fat. In fact, MOST of the recipes are very LOW in fat. And you have to take into account the percentage of calories that are derived from fat, not just the total fat grams. There is plenty of wonderful food here for people who are watching fat intake. Also, the last reviewer mentions canola oil as the major fat in the book, but the most prominent oil used in The Complete Vegan Cookbook is heart-healthy olive oil. It is important to remember that an extremely low-fat diet can be hazardous to your health, unless you already have heart disease. You need a sufficient quantity of essential fatty acids in your diet, especially the monounsaturated kind–like olive oil and avocado. I definitely recommend this inspiring and informative cookbook. I especially recommend the great selection of pilafs and the Chinese-inspired soups.

   The recipes in this book are out-of-the-ordinary, which is a good thing if you ask me–it keeps the vegan diet from getting boring. Every one I have tried has been easy to make and very delicious. My favorites right now are the Southwest Corn, Chard, and Potato Soup and the Linguine with Asparagus, Walnuts, and Fresh Herbs. I made the Oat and Buckwheat Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce for friends, who loved them. Anyway, I’m not a experienced or fancy cook and this book is one of my favorites. It also has a lot of good nutrition and cooking tips. Check it out for yourself!

   Lots of great recipes and tips. I’ve been a vegetarian for years, and learning how to replace animal products with vegetable or soy is great and more healthy. It is liberating to learn I can eat such a wide variety of things.

   I don’t know exactly why, but I don’t love this book. It’s kind of boring… I refer to it’s recipes the least of any vegan cook books that I own.
