Not for the budget vegan
If you're on a budget and don't have a bunch of rare spices and ingredients lying around your house, don't bother with this cookbook. Flipping through it, most recipes require at least 3 ingredients that I'd have to go out and buy, and will probably not use the rest of before they go bad. I decided that this initial impression was a little harsh so I gave it a chance and tried the Paella recipe with saffron. It was pretty bland.

If your goal is to take your cooking to the next level and experiment with ingredients you don't normally use, then maybe this is the book for you. But for me, I'd much rather stick with a cookbook that helps me use what ingredients are already in my house.

By the way, would anyone like to buy my copy? - aleta , posted 01/20/06

Great intermediate to advanced vegan cookbook!
While it's easy to pick this cookbook up, rifle through a couple of the recipes and be intimidated, don't be! I let this book languish on my shelf for several months before picking it up again, and everything I have made since has been FANTASTIC!

Several of the recipes include a lot of ingredients but come together relatively quickly, and the desserts are awesome! I'm currently making my way through each of Myra Korfield's soups this winter, and loving every minute of it. - Jenni , posted 11/22/05
