Ratings and reviews

I really can't believe this book doesn't get 5 stars. I found it THE SINGLE most useful book I've read about eating a plant-based diet. While it does say, "becoming vegetarian" it also covers many Vegan diet issues as well as vegan recipes at the back of the book. That was one of my favorite parts of the book, the fact that there were a ton of recipes at the end. I'd highly recommend this book to any and all people considering becoming vegetarian or vegan. <3

I'm enjoying reading this. I just decided to go vegetarian and thurs is the first book I considered to help me understand the diet better. In surprised at how much information and even recipes the author included!!! Loving it=)
