 Rating:  - A Re-Release????If you already own Ms. Leneman's book Single Vegan, do not buy this book. Several years ago I bought Single Vegan, I recently started using it and enjoyed the shopping lists and the portion sizes. I decided that 5 weeks of Fall/Winter recipes weren't enough, and was thrilled to see that Ms. Leneman had another book out. I was even happier to read that it was set up the same was as Single Vegan. Yay! I was going to have 10 weeks of Fall/Winter recipes to rotate through, and 10 weeks of spring/summer recipes. Well, my book just arrived. I happily flipped through to week 1 of Fall/Winter and what did I find? I found that this week's menu is the same thing as week 1 of the Fall/Winter recipes in Single Vegan. From what I saw, all the weeks of Fall/Winter are the same as what I already own. 2 stars only because I expected something different. More stars though if you consider that I liked the original enough to want more. Oh, be willing to play with seasoning and not to go strictly by the book Rating: - To much wheat and soy etc.Sorry but I was dissapointed. To be fair I have been a vegetarian since May and decided to transition to a vegan. I haven't had much experience with vegan cooking so I sent for the book. There was a lot of wheat breadcrumbs , soy, soya sauce etc. I try not to use wheat because it is one of the number one allergy sources. I am not to sold on whether soy is good for you or not. I really didn't see anything that looked appetizing. I have tried a few vegan recipes on the internet like lentil loaf and lentil tacos and they were good. I just didn't see anything on here that looked good enough to try. Rating:  - Really GreatI really love this cookbook. I'm not really much of a cook, and after I went vegan I feel into a rut of packaged rice and beans and canned veggies. I got other vegan cookbooks but I didn't really know where to start with them. This cookbook, however, divides the meals into days of the week and puts a grocery list at the beginning of each week. So instead of debating over what to eat and planning ahead for my grocery trip, I just take the list with me and I have dinners planned for the whole week. The food has been surprisingly good, too. I've only had one bad recipe, but I think I cooked that wrong anyways. The deserts aren't really that creative, they're basically just fruit with soygurt or baked fruit with sugar/maple syrup on top (that's good on soy ice cream) but the dinners more than make up for it. If you're a more experienced cook who's just new to veganism then you might like a more elaborate cookbook, like the Veganomican, but if you're not good at cooking or are having problems finding one-serving recipes then you'll love this book. Rating: - Most useful cookbook EVERI decided to go vegetarian a few months ago, and have been purchasing cookbook after cookbook. Out of all the ones I own, this is got to be the most useful. The shopping lists at the beginning of each week's list make preparation a cinch, and I'm not ending up with five times the food. A lot of the recipes end up with some leftovers, which is great for saving money at lunch the next day (and not for the next week!) Some of the recipes are on the blandish side, but I'm one of those people whose philosophy is "the spicier the better." I just add a little extra pepper or something else to give it a kick, and the recipe's fine for me!
