Reviewer: mustangcharlie from New York, U.S.A.:

I first became familiar with Native Foods when they opened their Costa Mesa location. The restaurant has a great selection of "normal" vegan food, so it's easy to get non vegans to eat there. I've made a few recipes in the book, and everything has turned out really well. The cornbread recipe is excellent, vegan or not! The recipes are easy to follow and the ingredients were easy to find. Now Tanya just needs to start franchising her restaurant!
