Best vegan cookbook I own
I purchased over 30 different vegan and plant-based cookbooks, and this one, by far, is the most practical. Recipes do not require expensive processed protein powders. Everything in this book is something I already eat so I do not need special expensive ingredients. The process to follow the meal plans is laid out really well for beginner or seasoned meal prep folks. I love this book!!

Excellent cookbook and vegan nutrition resource!
Just bought this book yesterday and I’ve already made one recipe (Mediterranean couscous salad, it was so good!) and have a bunch more lined up that I’m excited to try. I really love that it includes nutrition information and meal plans along with the recipes, it’s a great resource for anyone. I just recommended it to a friend of mine who’s really interested in nutrition and has been wanting to try out more vegan meals.

LOVE
The recipes in this book are SUPER easy and relatively simple ingredients. I was nervous initially about this book because typically, vegan/vegetarian cookbooks call for a lot of specialty foods and complicated recipes. Not the case with this book. I’m obsessed.I also love that this book contains a lot of educational material about the nutrients your body needs and how to cook more efficiently and effectively.

For the athlete
Good recipes, full nutritional profiles for each one, but holy Hanna the calories! If I was training again for long races it would be great, but most of these recipes are 500-700 calories per serving, with some even more!

Really helpful
I’ve been looking for something like this. I’m not a serious athlete by any means, but I find this book really helpful since it’s packed with tons of useful tips and plant based nutrition. The recipes that I’ve made so far have been a hit and perfect for meal prep. I highly recommend this cookbook, even if you aren’t an athlete.

Seems good so far but instructions aren’t as clear as they could be
Seeing as I just got this book I can’t really comment on it in its entirety just yet. However, upon trying my first recipe today I discovered a bit of a gap in the instruction on how to make the lasagna in the dinner section. The recipe is in two parts, one showing you how to make the “filling” and one showing you how to make the lasagna. The filling is never mentioned again after you’re instructed to put it in a glass container. Do you put some filling in with every layer along with the TVP sauce, mushrooms and spinach? Maybe this is common sense to someone who makes lasagna regularly but I have never made it before in my life. I had to look up other lasagna recipes on YouTube to make sure I was doing it right. If I have to consult other resources then, sorry, your book needs better instructions. Also, this is the very first recipe I have looked at. Am I going to find other examples of omissions later on? Anyway, overall it seems okay but considering this first obstacle I’ve encountered I have to knock it down to 3 stars.

Regardless if you are an athlete, this book covers it all. Delicious recipes.
Mona Keane –
Includes classic recipes made vegan. Also has the calorie and macro breakdown for each recipe which some other books don’t include and which I find helpful. Also includes some good information in the beginning of the book.I usually never write a review but I felt the need to do so for this one. Simply because I’ve spent quite a bit of money on some subpar vegan cookbooks.
