"This is a vegan diet book, but forget your preconceptions and

delicious and written for people who want to lose weight, but not
their enjoyment of food. She uses spices cleverly to make you
forget you're eating low and ups the grain and veg content to
keep you satisfied. Isa reworks favorites making them lighter and
ier. Her book is worth buying for the salad dressings
alone."

tireless crusader against the perception that meatless,
dairy-free meals taste like cardboard--proves low- can be
delicious. While offering plenty of tips for novice vegans,

delight seasoned meatless mavens, too."

broth and simple yet assertive seasoning. Stirring crushed

texture." Portland Oregonian, 1/25/11"Leave it to innovative
cookbook author Isa Chandra Moskowitz, the co-author of
Veganomicon, to come up with a collection of 125 low- recipes
that won't have you leaving the table hungry...Moskowitz's
writing style is accessible and fun, and she demystifies
ingredients like tempeh and tofu...Every recipe has detailed
tional analysis, including content, something too
many diet cookbooks don't bother with." The Hippo, 1/20/11
