Customer Reviews

Very helpful book
I've been a vegetarian for the past 8 years, and my New Year's resolution this year was to go "all the way" and eliminate all animal products from my life. This book has been a great help, especially with all the cooking and recipe info. I still have a ways to go, though, especially with "veganizing" all of my household items. A highly recommended book!

Informative book from a great vegan chef
Good book. Great for starting vegans. The author has a website as well www.veganchef.com where she has a full cook books worth of recipes that you can use for free. Ms. Bennett is a huge asset to vegan culture whether you are christian, buddhist, athiest. agnostic, or hari krishna. She proves this through her book & website.

A Great Resource
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vegan Living is a wonderful resource for anyone considering going vegan. It covers all the angles-health, ethical, social, and culinary. There is also a sampling of Beverly Lynn's recipes (she also has a great recipe site called The Vegan Chef).

The book's chapters are broken down into short, manageable sections. The tone does not play up on guilt, as some vegan books do, but instead encourages the reader by taking the intimidation out of veganism.

I highly recommend this book for anyone considering an animal-free lifestyle.
