Promising Review: "This book, let's be honest, was not written for me, a 40-year-old who knows his way around the kitchen. But I really wish it had been around when I first became vegan, in my mid-20s, and didn't know where or how to begin. The recipes produce delicious, easily prepared vegan food that's inexpensive to make. The artwork is outstanding, too — appealing without being too precious. These recipes will appeal to your inner stoner, even if, like myself, you have no interest whatsoever in getting stoned. Even as a somewhat experienced cook, I sometimes just want to open a few cans, throw stuff in a pan and eat a delicious meal in 15 minutes. This adorable cookbook is a winner." — Dustin G. Rhodes

At times, it's difficult to find really flavorful dishes without cheese, eggs, etc. The recipes I've tried from this book are not only super tasty, but they all feature ingredients that I can find at any grocery store, so I don't have to trek over to a specialty store." — Elizabeth Mabrey
