Soy, soy, and more soy
Purchased this when I saw it was on sale (Kindle edition). Started looking through the recipes and immediately returned for a refund. I am cutting out all dairy but I can't tolerate soy. Even if I could eat it I don't think I would. Most of the soybean crops grown today are GMO (I kept hearing this term and finally did a little research and watched a couple documentaries - scary s**t). It also, from what I understand, contains a chemical that mimics hormones. I don't know the specifics but I know the two women at work that had breast cancer were told by their doctors not to eat it, and it has been blamed for early puberty in children. And it also contains anti-nutrients that keep you from absorbing nutrients. It is not the super health food it was once thought to be. From what I saw of this cookbook it relies heavily on soy products.
I also purchased a cookbook from Thug Kitchen. While I could do without the swear words, the recipes look great and I think I saw one recipe with soy out of the dozens I looked at.
