My friend gave me this cookbook I have just recently changed my diet to Vegan and I was getting tired of eating salads and bean burritos and soup.  I was feeling deprived.  So when I browsed through the book I figured I better learn how to cook all over again.  Then I read something the chef said.  " the key to making good food vegan is substitution. "  I have tried the Mac n Cheese all I can say is yum.  I made spring rolls.  Beef Stew and a Thai Noodle Soup I plan on trying to make all 125 recipes.  I love the book it taught me that being Vegan is a good thing.  Even if you eat meat pick it up and replace some of your meals no one will know the difference.
