Amazing book for those wishing to eat less or no meat

Sat, 8 Feb 2014 | Review by: Maureen C.

The description listed for this book tells you all about it. The recipes in this book are fantastic - for me I love the chick'n - simmered and also a roast. This is the best seitan I have ever eaten and my non-vegan husband is happy to eat recipes from this book several times a week. Remember there are no pics in the actual book but the web site has pics of just about every recipe and the Face Book group around this and his other book, the Non Dairy Formulary, is extremely helpful and supportive. Buy this book. It is a paperback but very large - not a normal novel size book!
