I actually like this cook book quite a bit even though I understand those who give it criticism. The recipes are not all that healthy, they use lots of processed vegan substitutes, and most of the recipes you could probably have veganized yourself if you knew how to make the non-vegan counterpart.
However, that being said, the recipes are pretty tasty. I did not cook often before becoming vegan over 3 years ago, so I do not have a lot of experience making the non-vegan version of many of these things. Plus, as someone who occasionally likes to experiment with vegan cheeses, sour creams, and mock meats, I like having a book that tells me how to properly cook these items.
Things I have cooked and liked are the red wine "beef" stew (absolutely delicious), the stuffed pasta shells with red sauce (one of my husband's favorite meals), quesadillas, eggplant parmesan, edamame three bean salad, french lentil salad, and potato and pumpkin curry.
The only thing I was disappointed in was the denver "bitchlette" for two. I had issues making the mock omelette fold properly, and it tasted pretty oily. I have tried much better scrambled tofu recipes that do not use vegan cheese that could be turned into omlette form if desired.
So in summary, the book is good if you are looking for veganized versions of old favorites, or for ideas to use all the fancy vegan substitutes that are becoming more and more readily available. Do not buy this book if you are looking for healthy cuisine, or really innovative recipes.

Great recipes and the "weird" stuff you buy, will be used in other recipes as well, so the inital 75$ investment at Berkeley Bowl was soooo worth it. I refer to it all the time for ideas..
 Don't buy this book - Use common sense instead. July 8, 2010

As previous reviewers have said.. This is a waste of money. I am sure you can figure out on your own that if you use a vegan burger, vegan bread and vegan cheese that you will have a vegan cheeseburger. This is a lazy sell out of a book.

 I gained 20 pounds following this book's guidelines May 26, 2010

I cannot recommend this book to anyone wanting to be thin or healthy. I followed the guidelines established in this book and steadily gained weight for months; over 20 pounds which I am now struggling to get off!
My health has deteriorated dramatically. My recent blood tests reveal that I have dangerously low iron levels. My zinc, calcium, vitamin D have also plummeted.
I'm now receiving proper advice from a nutritionist/naturopath who informs me that it will take 6-12 months to get my levels back up to somewhere near healthy.
Avoid this book at all costs.
BTW. One of the cake recipes has over 13 teaspoons of sugar per slice! How the heck is that healthy?
