Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Another fad diet book, with an extra helping of hate and anger!
This book is full of non-facts, psudeo-science and outright lies. It's is just another fad diet book, where just like any other of these bad advice books- you can lose a few pounds then gain it all back.

It has a hidden vegan agenda- nothing wrong with being vegan mind you, but why not be honest about it?

Advices goes from the "of course, heard it a thousand times" to completely wacky.

Most of the recipes are about as nutritionally balanced and tasty as eating the book itself.

And, to top it off there's a undercurrent and subtext of hateful anger in this series of books.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Might want to find an alternative
The first book that was written was very informational and started me on a kick to truly look at ingredients and find out what is in my food. This book however is not necessarily realistic in adding these recipes to your diet. A lot of the recipes call for coconut oil and have fake cheeses and meat that you could use. Soy is a big ingredient in a lot of the fake foods. Research done on soy shows that too much consumption can have a negative effect on your diet, especially if you have hypothyrodism or other ailments. There is research that goes both ways but too much of a good thing isn't always good. I guess you need to do research what you eat and find if it truly is good for you. I don't condone it, I just don't eat a lot of it. I do have this book and haven't really made much out of it. I am not in to eating fake food and would rather eat and buy things that are natural... so if you like that route too... I don't recommend it. If you are in to fake foods and coconut oil... go for it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally a cookbook of normal food for vegans!
Does lasagna, potatoes au gratin, or a brownie sound good? I thought so!

This cookbook has includes a wide range of foods that are fantastic every-day choices. Another plus is that most of the ingredients are repetitive so you can stock your pantry and have some pretty versitile menu options.

Below are the sections:
Breakfasts
PMS Snacks
Appetizers
Soups & Stews
Salads
Sandwiches
International
Italian
Down Home Cookin'
Staple Meals
Dressings, Sauces & Substitutes
Happy Endings (Desserts)

A particularly helpful part of this book is the glossary which defines/describes most of the foods/ingredients that would not be commonly known.

This book has less raunchy language than the other Skinny Bitch book and I think they got it right with this one.

Highly recommend!





Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great for a new vegan
I'm a new vegan who's been cooking conventionally for over 40 years and needed help. I'm a good cook but I needed ideas and inspiration to make meals for my family every night without using meat. In the 4 weeks I've been a vegan I have made many of the recipes in this book and they've gone over great with my husband (and with me). They were easy, not too time consuming and helped me be a vegan without serving couscous and portabello mushrooms every single night. The only fake meat or fake cheese I've purchased has been Boca burgers and some "ground not-beef" crumbles. I've stuck with the recipes based on veggies and it's gone great. I also bought Veganomicon and as a new Vegan I've used many more of the recipes from this book (SB in the Kitch), although over time I'll likely incorporate more complicated recipes. In addition, I have been able to make every recipe with items from Price Chopper and Stop n Shop.
