Customer Review: Check that fat!
The most common ingredient in this book is “vegan margarine”, and all the recipes give you a product which is uncomfortably high in fat. In addition, you need to check your fat very carefully. Most margarines, including margarines made entirely from vegetable oil, contain partly hydrogenated oils. That’s trans fat, the very last thing you should be eating.
Customer Review: Well-organised, clear text, yummy recipes
The book is divided into 6 sections: large cakes and loaves, small cakes, biscuits, tray bakes, no-bake cakes and savoury baking - making it easy to find exactly what you are looking for. Recipes are easy to follow and well laid out. Vegan versions of all your favourites are there eg muffins, malt loaf, shortbread, flapjacks, but there’s also a multitude of inspiring, unusual recipes too eg parsnip and banana slice or orange, alfalfa and cardomon cookies. The recipes I have tried turned out perfectly first time. You’ll find something in this book that you’ll love even if you’re not a vegan - there’s nothing in this book that I don’t fancy making. Highly recommended.

Fair Trade Photo Frame
This attractive black photo frame has been made using cotton leather. Recycled sheets of cotton are processed to create a strong, durable material that looks just like leather. It is eco-friendly and it is fair trade, so the people who make it receive a fair wage for their work.

Customer Review: FANTASTIC!
This is THE greatest veggy cook book I have got. I have bought quite a few and this is by far the best. It gives great basic tips at the beginning on how/what etc and the recipes are great - using all store cupboard stuff and easy stuff that you can get anywhere without hunting too much. Cheap too as promised!! This is the only cook book where I have done more than one recipe from!!!
Customer Review: Don’t Leave Home Without It!
I got this book as a present before leaving to start Uni life last September! Since I’d never cooked anything more complicated than fairy cakes, my Mum was understandably a bit concerned that I’d live on pot noodles and baked beans on toast, so decided to get me this fantastic little book! I can’t praise this book enough! First off, it does actually tell you *how* to do certain things, like dice, shred, fold and whisk, and how to actually cook vegetables, rice and pasta. Pretty basic yes, but I have met people at Uni who’ve never so much as heated up a can of baked beans or made a bowl of pasta in their lives! So it’s pretty good for complete beginners. The recipes are yummy. They’re divided into different sections; there’s snacks, light meals, vegetable dishes, roast dishes, pasta dishes, rice dishes, pulse dishes, and desserts (of course!). There’s serving suggestions, ideas of what else you can throw in, and even tips on how to keep the cost down. The instructions are fairly straightforward, unlike some this cookbook doesn’t seem to be written in a totally foreign language!! The recipes themselves are very tasty, there’s a lot of variety and there’s pretty much something for everyone. I would be totally lost without this book. Don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just for veggies, most of these recipes are pretty healthy (especially in comparison to most student diets!!) and incredibly tasty. Get this book, it’s almost as essential to student life as a drinking fund and an overdraft (well they’re the same thing really, and I did say ‘almost!’)
