Reviewer: Kate from SA, Australia:

I love this cookbook! The recipes are for the most part simple but incredibly tasty. It is full healthy, filling meal ideas that are quick to make - something that is wonderful when you come from a long day at work. The recipes are varied and I particularly love how her recipes always offer alternatives such as kamut and spelt flour. At the end there is a section on the introduction of vegan solid foods to infants. I have had a time difficult finding such resources in Australia and I have recommended it to several families I work with - they have all come back raving :). The brownie recipe is one of the best I have ever made. Whenever I take them out to frisbee even all the non-vegans snap them up before training even starts. The only difficulty is that the book is very heavy on Hemp Oil. I personally would love to try some and understand the benefits but my narrow-minded government has banned the sale of it in Australia.
