Review: Great Recipes, Unless You're Vegetarian/Vegan
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 12, 2013
The recipes here are straightforward and easy to follow. And they cover the range from breakfast to dessert. They also sound like they'd be quite delicious, and I say that even as someone who finds the book, overall, is not for me.Unfortunately, the majority of recipes are not vegetarian or vegan friendly. As the author notes in the beginning, avocados are important part of the diet for vegans and vegetarians. But that note doesn't carry through. Most recipes call for non-vegan, non-vegetarian items without listing any suitable alternatives.And I do have to say, I don't mind that the recipes are not specifically vegan since that wasn't a claim for the book. Hence, my four-star rating. But I do find it disappointing to see what looks like absolutely no consideration for recipes that have alternates or don't call for meat, eggs, or milk. For those kinds of recipes, I'll have to keep looking.
