For a long time now I've felt a sincere inner desire to completely rethink my approach to cooking and finally go animal-free. But I didn't really know where to start. This is the book that gave me direction.
The most distinctively beneficial aspect of this cookbook is that it not only provides a wide array of creative and delicious recipes, but that it also divulges numerous suggestions and morsels of wisdom that give the reader the freedom to take personal creative liberties while preparing the described dishes. After following the more "specific" guidelines provided in the book, I found myself feeling more comfortable experimenting with measurements and substitutions than I've ever been in the past. I was especially inspired by Isa's sections on baking, an area of cookery that--with its mysterious chemical reactions and ubiquitous ingredients--had, for me, always proven to be somewhat baffling.
Besides being a marvelous help and inspiration to one's endeavors in the kitchen, this cookbook proves to be a distinctively enjoyable read. Isa provides humorous insights and reflects on her personal experiences throughout, creating an interestingly intimate aspect to the recipes enclosed therein. In addition, the book is full of helpful asides, indexes, and lists that are beneficial to those recently embarking into the realm of animal-free dining as well as to the well-weathered veteran vegan.
I reiterate the claim that has been made several times already by other reviewers: if you choose to buy only one vegan cookbook, this should be it. But, even if you do not keep to a strictly vegan diet, this cookbook should at least make it to your top five list of cookbooks that are genuinely worth owning.
