    I read the author's first book and really enjoyed it. I was already maintaining a mostly vegetarian (and frequently vegan) diet when I started reading this series. Given my long-time interest in vegan and vegetarian cooking I have accumulated a number of cookbooks tackling the subject and was curious to see what new recipes the authors had to offer. I was disappointed to see how many recipes featured very, very processed foods including tofu and soy products such as fake meats and cheeses. A few of their salads looked interesting, but that was it. If you're interested in a vegetarian or vegan diet, go for it - but I would recommend choosing a different cookbook that features more fresh vegetables and whole grains. There are lots out there to choose from.
    P.S. This forum would not allow me to post the titles of these books due to their 'profane' nature, so I've edited accordingly.

    This book truly is about promoting a vegan lifestyle, which some may find disappointing; but I tried it myself and after three months of eating like a pig (just no dairy/no meat) I was down 25lbs. Say what you want - but this is an intelligent look at what the food industry has spoon fed people. If you want to try something different this is a great place to start! :)

    I also bought this book because of the title, thought it would be funny... after the first couple of chapters I tossed it away.. the worst book I ever tempted to read...

    The title on this book is great - that is what sold me...stuck in the Toronto airport with a 6 hour delay. The book is entertaining, funny, but really attempting to convert you to becoming VEGAN (which is ok if that is what you want).

From the Critics

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine(PCRM) pcrm.org 1/13/10
A new PCRM report finds that many cookbooks released or revived in the last decade encourage readers to consume more fattening meat-heavy meals at a time when record obesity rates mean that Americans have never needed more encouragement to eat nutritious low-fat foods. "These high-fat recipes help explain why America's obesity-related medical spending doubled over the past decade," said PCRM nutrition director Susan Levin, M.S., R.D. "You'd need a magnifying glass to find a vegetable in some of these cookbooks. But the good news is that a growing number of chefs are offering tasty meatless recipes that can help us stay trim and healthy." The decade's best cookbooks… The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone, Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Recipes for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop Cooking Crap (and Start Looking Hot!) by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen, The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn, Cooking the Whole Foods Way by Christina Pirello.
