Good ideas for recipes
I was drawn to Vegan Meals since it was aimed at recipes for just a few people. I am the only vegan in my house, and I found this to be very helpful. It gave me ideas on good, quick meals, as well as what to keep stocked up on in my kitchen and pantry.

The downside of this book was that I found the recipes I tried to be kind of unappetizing. And one that I tried (something with potatoes and kale) had the wrong amount of pepper in it, and I ended up ruining all of my work and had no dinner. I think that in the future, I will have to try adding my own touches to the recipes to make them better for myself.

The resources in the front and back of this book are very helpful. I found a ton of simple, quick, and delicious meals and snacks to try, many of which I use almost every day. I didn't try all of the recipes, but the few I tried I didn't like. So, I guess it's up to you to venture out and try these; after all, I could just have a weird taste in food.

Showcases some of the best that vegan diets can offer
Vegan Meals For One Or Two: Your Own Personal Recipes is a splendidly composed collection of vegan recipes for delicious, nutritious, easy to make dishes that will adequately serve one or two people. Of particular interest for the novice vegan or vegetarian are the introductory sections on shopping for and purchasing ingredients, their proper storage, vegan meal planning, and kitchen safety. There are vegan recipes for breakfast, "One-Pot Wonders", meals to prepare and freeze for later dining, recipes for "Grab-and-Go" time constraints, desserts and snacks, as well as every day and special event cooking. From Upside-Down Pecan-Bran Muffins; Cucumber Raita; and Spur of the Moment Salad; to Almond Rice Pudding; Potato Tacos; and Pasta-Stuffed Roasted Peppers, Vegan Meals For One Or Two showcases some of the best that vegan diets can offer for both culinary taste and appetite satisfaction.

Very good vegan book!
This is my favorite vegan cookbook so far! (I have several). It uses really simple ingredients, and the portion sizes are hearty. I will probably need to replace it in a few years because my current copy is getting rather beat up due to overuse.

Another reviewer wrote about the 'wrong amount of pepper' in a potato-kale recipe. I tried that recipe too, and since I really like pepper, it tasted great! But to each their own...

The Vegetarian Resource Group is also a great resource for vegetarian/vegan cookbooks and restaurant listings. I'm pleased that this cookbook came from them.
