5.0 out of 5 stars Best vegan Nutrition book
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2015

Wonderful book on not only the morals and others stuff vegans like to preach about, but also how to adapt your nutritional intake to make sure you don't go vegan with chips chips and french fries - how to actually get all you need from plants. I work at a health food store and tell people about this book at least once a week. Worth it all the way!

4.0 out of 5 stars Food for thought

Thorough well stated case for a comprehensive vegan lifestyle. The book states clearly the moral/ethical reasons for choosing to be vegan but also touches on the environmental and health effects. The author also acknowledges the practical challenges of choosing to be vegan in an essentially non-vegan society and gives practical tips to make the transition easier. As the title says, it's a good sourcebook.

I've been a vegetarian for a while, and was considering taking the logical next step to vegan. This book combines history, philosophy and practicality with a few starter recipes. Thank you Joanne Stepaniak.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth checking out of the library.
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2009
I checked this book out of the library, and it's one of the better vegan books I've read. It's really informative, and it gives the reasoning behind choices that many vegans make..."Why don't vegan eat honey?" or other questions that might not be so clear to a new vegan. It asks you to view your actions in a slightly different way, to see how the choices you make daily affect others. I'm not sure it's a book I would feel like I needed to own, however. It gave the history of the vegan movement, which was really interesting. There are some great recipes at the back, and I copied down a handful to keep in my recipe binder--I recommend the Farmhouse Stew with seitan and lots of veggies! Yum yum! The broth is created with a couple of tablespoons of tahini and couple of tamari (along with vegetable broth). This is such a delicious combination, and it makes the soup so rich and filling. I use these two ingredients as a background broth for many other soups and stews now. For some reason, the combination reminds me of those pot-pies I used to eat as a kid. Who knows? It's delicious! There are also recipes for vegan mayonnaise and sour cream, made with silken tofu (which is helpful, because I can't get those pre-made where I live). It's worth borrowing or checking out of the library!

This is a tremendouce "reference" book. If you're considering being vegan, this will tell you exactly what the issues are (from an ethical and health perspective) that might encourage you to make the switch, and she also gives many good pointers that can make the switch either. I can one could never live without my cookies, and she tells you how you can be vegan and still eat your cookies (or whatever else you think you might miss too much).

1.0 out of 5 stars Veganism as a religion
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2003
I became a vegan several years ago. Naturally, I am curious to read the opinions, advice, and information offered from other vegans. However, I was sorely disappointed with this book. Instead of offering sound, well-referenced information, this book reads like propaganda and represents veganism as more of a religion than a lifestyle. Except for the recipes, I think this book was a waste of my time.
