"One of the very best vegan cookbooks of all time. Fabulous recipes, healthy food, clear directions, and delicious results!"

This book has cooked recipes and also has several raw choices. In looking through this cookbook I found that it is one of those cookbooks I love it has normal ingredients without long lists of ingredients. I really love that! I can not say enough good things about this book. Remember the title is 30 minute vegan and that is a plus for our busy lifestyles. No excuses, we can cook healthy and not take a lot of time to prepare. There are over 175 recipes in this book that are quick, delicious, and healthy for everyday cooking. It's easy to find the raw food recipes with the heart above each raw recipe.

I just had to start trying recipes and tried Vanilla Sesame Bonbons which everyone loves. I see a whole long list of more recipes to try.

This book chapters are titled:

Getting Started, Preparation Basics, The Lighter Side of Life-Smoothies & Satiating Beverages, The Morning Meal-Breakfast and Brunch, Snacks, Pick-Me-Ups & Kids' Favorites, Uplifting Lunches-Wraps, Rolls, Bowls, & More, Extraordinary Salads, Sumptuous Soups, Small Plates-Appetizers, side Dishes, & Light Dinners, Wholesome Suppers,

Guilt-Free Comfort Food-Healthy Translations of Old Standbys, Divine Desserts, Condiments, Infused Oils, & Spreads, Feasts, Soirees, and Slumber Parties-Quick, Healthy, & Bountiful.

I highly recommend this cookbook and I hope you find it to be a permanent cookbook source in your house like it will be in mine. I am now able to enjoy their cuisine at my own table. This is one of those vegan books that it could be your only one on the shelf and not get bored with it!
