This author seems to be unclear on what she means by plant-based. She takes an entire page (for a few sentences) to clarify that a plant-based or plant-forward diet is not necessarily vegan or vegetarian. But then the introductory section starts with a chapter that talks about a vegan diet and why it is a good one to follow. Only a couple of times in the introductory material does she state that a plant-based diet could include meat so long as the plant-based part takes center stage. The recipes themselves seem to be vegan. Personally, I don't have a problem with this as I have been a vegetarian for nearly two decades. But I think an author needs to be clear about what she means and stay on message. There are other problems with the introductory material, unfortunately. It is repetitious and oddly written with errors of grammar, punctuation, and usage. Here’s an example sentence: “That implies anything that comes from an animal is off limitations, plant-based dishes do not consist of meat, fish and shellfish, dairy products, eggs or honey.” The author states that the recipes are quick, easy, and budget-friendly, but they all are not necessarily so. Some recipes had multiple steps, sometimes requiring much time for the steps or stages. Sometimes, too, vegan ingredients aren't as cheap as some others. A photo supposedly of the recipe is at the top of it, but the photos don't seem to necessarily go with the recipe they are with. For instance, there's a Kasha, Quinoa, and Millet recipe that clearly has sliced radishes in the picture. Not only does the recipe not include sliced radishes, but it is a sweet dish, not a savory one, that would not go with radishes. As is so typical in self-published cookbooks, the ingredients aren't given in the ingredient list in the order in which they are used in the recipe. The recipes that go longer than one page are very strangely formatted, with both the ingredient list and the directions appearing on both pages with the recipe photo on both pages. Some amounts of ingredients appear to be left off. A few recipes actually sounded pretty decent, if they weren't filled with errors, but I don't like to recommend cookbooks where I see so many problems. I received a free copy of this cookbook, but that did not affect my review.

A good collection or new recipes for me to try. I've tried a few and liked some, plan to try more in the future. Some were easier to follow than others, for this type of book I do prefer clearer, more easy to follow directions and format but not bad for a starter book.

Very informational. Handy for the future! I will definitely keep this around to use sometime! Glad to have stumbled upon it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Was really looking forward to receiving this but very disheartened when I opened it and all pictures are small and in grayscale. I specifically ordered this to help my disabled soon learn about plant based cooking. This is not inspiring at all and makes all meals look drab and boring.

There were loads of spelling mistakes and typing errors and the format/layout was very frustrating. At first glance some recipes appeared duplicated but it was because the summary pages were duplicated and the recipes contained more than one page of instructions. The summary pages sometimes got cut off and were then repeated on consecutive pages. Overall a poor layout and poor command of the English language in places. It’s a shame because there seem to be some nice recipes and it wouldn’t have taken much effort for the author to get her book proof-read before publishing.
