It gives vegan food a bad rep
I have been vegan for two years in large part to the Forks Over Knives documentary. However, the recipes in this book are - I'm sorry to say - just plain awful. For some reason the author puts sweeteners in just about everything (especially brown rice syrup) which is unnecessary and tastes bizarre most of the time. This is combined with dull flavors which make the frequently inedible. I've tried about 20 to 30 recipes from this book and have really wanted to like it...I just don't. Best advice: find some great vegan cooking blogs and use those recipes. Otherwise The Passionate Vegetarian is always a good resource.
