constancelee's review against another edition
Can't really rate this one yet as I haven't tried any of the recipes. Some that I plan to try are:
Pumpkin-Cranberry Scones
Rumnog Pecan Cookies (planning to make these for the holidays, YUM!)
Almond-Anise Biscotti
Lemon Bars
Caramel Apple-Spiced Cupcakes with Penache
Lower-fat Deep Chocolate bundt Cake (I'd make this NOW if I had a bundt pan!)

So far I have only made 5 of the recipes, but each one is so amazing that I feel comfortable suggesting this book to vegans and omnivores alike.
The book is big, chock full of recipes, tips, and inspiration.

This is probably my favorite recipe book. I think that I have made (with help of others at times) at least 50 meals from this book and not one was anything below delicious. If you are switching from vegetarianism to being a vegan, or if you want to eat healthy, this is the way to go.

This is my #1 go-to cookbook. I generally stick closely to the recipes, but I'm an omnivore & my husband is a vegetarian so when "dairy" products are called for I go for the real deal. Of the recipes I've tried all but one have become a staple in our diet. This book is thick & I have barely scraped the surface.

Think of this as the "Joy of Cooking" for inexperienced vegan home cooks -- it's got loads of simple recipes, some that are basically instructions for assembly. The first 45 pages are table of contents and instruction on kitchen basics such as equipment, pantry stocking, nutrition and how to cook certain things like rice or quinoa. Some of the recipes are familiar -- I've seen them in other cookbooks by this author (who can get enough pistachio rosewater ANYTHING, right?).
Though I shelled out some good money for this cookbook - it's not a cookbook that I use often. It's written for a certain audience -- the new vegan, the new home cook -- and it's an excellent cookbook to give to those folks.

I recently repurchased and reread this book after destroying my first copy years ago. Isa uses simple ingredients to create vegan recipes that make veganism attainable for those who don't want to give up "normal" American food. Many of her dishes are healthy and delicious and the treats are decadent and loved by all. A great initial reference cookbook for those going vegan for the first time and even for those simply adding more plant based meals into their diet.

This is a great basic cookbook to have. Great instructions on tools and stocking your pantry. The recipes are easy to follow and there is a great variety. I have enjoyed everything I have tried so far.
