The Compassionate Cook: Or, Please Don't Eat the Animals! Paperback – Bargain Price, July 1, 1993

Lots of breakfast, lunch, evening meal recipes as well as salad dressings, mayo & sauce recipes, snack, & dessert recipes. I was very glad to see that altho there were recipes calling for tofu (which I try to avoid) that there were a great many w/o tofu. Soy milk is easily replaced w/ other plant milks. I'm a reluctant vegan & don't really care for many veggies at all but the meat industry is just mean. So finding recipes I think I'd actually like, w/ commonly available ingredients, & not requiring a whole lot of money & time in the kitchen are hard to find. This book seems to have more than enough to keep me happy tho! Some recipes seemed ingredient lengthy at 1st glance, but it's not really since many were just common spices--which I consider the same as salt & pepper which I always have on hand & require no chopping & are just toss in & go. A great many of the recipes actually look like things the avg family & finicky kids would eat w/o much of a problem. I wasn't expecting so many recipes as this book has, or so many that looked do-able for me since I don't care for veggies. This will be a well used go-to book for me & I'm glad I took a chance & ordered it.

Vegan cookbooks come and go, but this is my vegan bible. The recipes are simple with simple ingredients and very tasty. These recipes are also non-vegan friendly (meaning: the recipes are tasty for everybody) If you're courting the idea or just trying to incorporate more plant based meals into your diet, this is your book.

I love every recipe I've used from this book. Just so many fun, simple, tasty dishes, especially the soups. I've had people who are far more advanced cooks than I ask me for the recipe for something I made from this book. I reach for it time and again.

I have purchased many vegan cookbooks. This one is the only one throughout the years that I still use almost every week. Such great staple recipes. My kitchen wouldn't be complete without it!

I use this book frequently. It's my go to book for great vegan recipes.

I bought this vegan cookbook when it was first published (1994). My copy has completely fallen apart, so I decided to replace it. Although I am not vegan, this is still one of my favorite cookbooks all of these years later. The recipes are simple, easy to follow, and delicious. I am still finding new ones to try to this day.

I bought this book for my teen daughter, a recent vegan convert. This cookbook was recommended by a friend, and long time vegan. The recipes are easy to follow and the results so far have been yummy. A good place to start for beginners in the veg cooking process.

We are not vegans or vegetarians, but this book was recommended to us by a Vegan. We don't need to eat meat everyday but sometimes it's hard to find good recipes. This is a good book, has great recipes and alternatives.

This is an American cookbook, so uses the much more sensible measures of cups etc., rather than the prissy continental measures forced upon UK citizens. Useful collection of recipes, some of them I know already, but nice to have a book with them all in one place. Some of the names given to the recipes are a bit strange - e.g. "Goblin soup", or Celine's Celestial Stew" doesn't really tell you much about them, and makes it difficult to find it again in the index if you can only remember it by what was in it, but mostly fairly short prep times, so my kind of cooking. Good easy place to start for anybody new to vegan or non-meat cooking.

Sons' vegan, top recipe book

Ok but abit dull.

good

This is my second book, I bought the first one for my daughter for Christmas last year because she was in a panic, she couldn't find hers. Low and behold she found it before Christmas so I decided to keep it myself. It got borrowed by my daughter-in-law and she liked it so much, she didn't want to return it. So...I bought myself another one.

Einfach toll

It is so simple! I love it because all the ingredients are fresh. there is no substitutes such as fake cheese or similar things.
