Summary: Yum 2008-10-13
Comment: I haven't yet made anything, but the reason I bought this cookbook was to find out how to make the tofu-based "frosting" that came with the cakes I had at the restaurant. This is a great looking book - the only thing I can say that would be difficult is finding some of the ingredients. I'm Asian myself, and some of this stuff I'm not even sure how the average person would find.

Summary: If you want to put a whole in your pocketbook, the ingredients these recipes call for would do nicely 2008-09-29
Comment: I love cooking vegan food. I was looking forward to this book. But as a few other people have pointed out: preparation for making things in this book is extensive, the recipes call for exotic ingredients AND boy are those ingredients pricey. I would venture on calling this book ridiculous, but the recipes do look yummy -- I imgine they taste great. When I am retired and without children in the home and a millionaire I will get around to making something in this book.

Summary: Slim volume that packs a lot of flavor 2008-07-20
Comment: You will find lots of innovative ideas for vegetarian appetizers, salads, sandwiched, other entrees and dessert in attractive book. Based on the RFD philosphy and cafe, the book has some winning recipes and combinations and you are sure to find something that will catch your eye, even if every single recipe is not to your taste. Certainly worth checking out from the local library or browsing through for a leisurely read.

Summary: A great book if you have way too much time on your hand! 2008-06-29
Comment: This is a solid cookbook for vegans or anyone who would like to venture a little bit out of their "ingredients comfort zone." What I clearly did not like about this cookbook was that the recipes were very time consuming! Sometimes you even had to prepare some ingredients, like for example, Tofu Whip (another two-page, two-hour recipe), in order to make a small snack. While I love to cook even if it takes effort and time this book pushed me a bit over the edge.
One final thing I thought was quite amusing was that the author claims in the introduction, that organic produce contains more vitamins than regular produce. While that might (or might not) be true it is slightly beside the point. I choose to eat organic food because of the things it DOES NOT contain (pesticides and the like) and because it saves our environment.
Anyway, I would not recommend this book unless you don't mind spending hours on preparing these dishes.
