Reviewer: Catherine from Lancashire, U.K.:

The author recognises the challenges sometimes experienced in catering for vegans and so decided to share her own recipes. These include versions of regional dishes from her native Lancashire, dishes encountered in her travels and some she invented for herself. The titles of the book and chapters originate from what some restaurants actually said when asked for their vegan options! Whether you are vegan or vegetarian, or just want to eat more healthily for some meals, we are confident you will enjoy the dishes in this book. Fully illustrated in glossy colour.

Reviewer: Catherine (on behalf of Mark Bateman) from Lancashire, U.K.:

The first thing that impressed me was the availability of the ingredients used. I found them to be easily accessible which is great as sometimes more obscure items are difficult to get hold of. Sometimes a recipe will be overlooked because one or two things are missing. The step by step instructions are also very well written and easy to follow, helping to avoid mistakes and disasters.

The photos that accompany each recipe are very appetising and really make you want to make the food.

I think the book is good for people who have recently decided to follow a vegan/vegetarian diet and also for people who have been following this diet for a while. It offers variety and shows non vegans that the vegan diet needn't be restrictive. i found that the recipes will appeal not just to vegans/vegetarians but to all people who appreciate fine food.

Altogether an entertaining and useful book that would be an asset to anyone’s collection.
