Summary: Good Gateway Vegan Cookbook
I like the meals in the book. I look at this book as kind of a gateway vegan book. It's kind of leading you into it by not asking you to give up your favorite comfort foods altogether, hence the use of meat and cheese analogs. Most of these recipes are very easy and not too fussy which can be a blessing. Once you get used to cooking like a vegan/vegetarian you can always expand your library. I don't dig tempeh or seitan (regardless of what cookbook I try) but I love the pasta and other recipes provided. As for people being offended by the language, I wonder, did they not read the title or the description of the book? Why the surprise? I respect the authors for marketing the book in a way that got and kept our attention; I think the end justifies the means. I have issues with portion control, and I joined weight watchers before trying the recipes in this book. What I've found is that most of them easily mesh with the points system. BTW another great vegan cook book is "The 30 Minute Vegan".

Summary: Do you like soy cheese/meat?
This cookbook relies heavily on substitute cheese and meat products. If you do not enjoy the taste of soy "cheese" and/or soy "meat", this book is not for you. On the other hand, if you DO enjoy these products, you will probably find this book very useful! The recipes are easy, quick, plentiful, and true to the diet recommended by the authors in their previous book "Skinny Bitch".

Summary: Yummy Food
I actually like this cook book quite a bit even though I understand those who give it criticism. The recipes are not all that healthy, they use lots of processed vegan substitutes, and most of the recipes you could probably have veganized yourself if you knew how to make the non-vegan counterpart.
However, that being said, the recipes are pretty tasty. I did not cook often before becoming vegan over 3 years ago, so I do not have a lot of experience making the non-vegan version of many of these things. Plus, as someone who occasionally likes to experiment with vegan cheeses, sour creams, and mock meats, I like having a book that tells me how to properly cook these items.
Things I have cooked and liked are the red wine "beef" stew (absolutely delicious), the stuffed pasta shells with red sauce (one of my husband's favorite meals), quesadillas, eggplant parmesan, edamame three bean salad, french lentil salad, and potato and pumpkin curry.
The only thing I was disappointed in was the denver "bitchlette" for two. I had issues making the mock omelette fold properly, and it tasted pretty oily. I have tried much better scrambled tofu recipes that do not use vegan cheese that could be turned into omlette form if desired.
So in summary, the book is good if you are looking for veganized versions of old favorites, or for ideas to use all the fancy vegan substitutes that are becoming more and more readily available. Do not buy this book if you are looking for healthy cuisine, or really innovative recipes.

Summary: Great recipes, god ideas and address protein, mineral and vitamin needs within receipes
Great recipes and the "weird" stuff you buy, will be used in other recipes as well, so the inital 75$ investment at Berkeley Bowl was soooo worth it. I refer to it all the time for ideas..

Summary: Don't buy this book - Use common sense instead.
As previous reviewers have said.. This is a waste of money. I am sure you can figure out on your own that if you use a vegan burger, vegan bread and vegan cheese that you will have a vegan cheeseburger. This is a lazy sell out of a book.
