Product Description
Now vegan means vitality and vibrant taste!
A simple definition—
The vegan diet consists exclusively of foods from the vegetable kingdom and excludes all animal products—meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs, dairy, and honey—as well as products which are processed using animal ingredients.
Good health and great flavor have finally come together! Whether you're a full-time vegan or simply looking for an occasional "ideal" meal—one low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in health-enhancing nutrients and great taste—here is your definitive source for easy and innovative vegan cooking.
It's proven that eating an abundance of foods from the vegetable kingdom leads to a healthier—and perhaps longer—life. But healthful eating doesn't have to be bland and boring! The Complete Vegan Cookbook is your step-by-step guide to creating delicious and satisfying vegan dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. You'll discover more than 200 tempting recipes as well as exciting meal plans for special family meals and entertaining. Now you can experience the health benefits of the vegan diet while enjoying hearty meals and mouthwatering flavor!
Enticing recipes include:
Southwest Corn, Chard, and Potato Soup
Yellow Beet and Arugula Salad with Dried Cranberries
Bulgur and Red Lentil Pilaf with Kale and Olives
Eggplant Enchiladas with Almond Mole
Spaghetti with Artichoke-Pistachio Pesto
Arborio Rice Pudding with Pears
Oat and Buckwheat Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce
And many, many more

 New at being Vegan August 28, 2008
My wife and I justed started the life style of being Vegan. She purchased The complete Vegan Cook book to help her get started. She loves it. She says it has Great recipes, it's easy to follow and we both agree the recipes are great tasting. It has been fun for us trying out a new way to a healthy lifestyle. This is a must for any new vegan.

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.
Recipes that are creative and worth it--Fantastic resource! September 17, 2007

Vegan diets can get boring if people are not aware of the many, many foods that are available to a vegan. This book solves that problem neatly. I've been surprised by how easy it is to obtain, use, and store many new-to-me ingredients.
The recipes in here are fairly complex if you're comparing it to something like Betty Crocker. I usually save them for weekends when I have a little more time to spend in the kitchen. However, there are a few simple gems that I make very frequently (tofu tacos is my favorite). The reason I LOVE this book though is that I can rely on the recipes tasting so fantastic and being so interesting that even my non-vegan friends ask for the recipes when they've tasted my cooking.
For someone who is unfamiliar with basic cooking techniques, this book might be a little overwhelming to use. However, it has an exhaustive list of kitchen supplies that are needed, an index of ingredients, and a thorough discussion on keeping a well-stocked kitchen, using ingredients and cooking techniques. It's all there, but it will be a steep learning curve for someone who is just starting out in the kitchen.
