The recipes are just not my type, but I'll keep this cookbook around for the juice and smoothie recipes! Makes me wish I had a juicer.

Strict vegans, be aware that quite a few recipes in this book call for honey. I'm sure agave can be substituted, but that kind of threw me off in a vegan cookbook.

I was a bit leery about buying this cookbook at first, since it's about half juices and I wanted a food-focused cookbook, but I'm glad I did. The recipes are mostly standard, hearty vegan fare with a nice twist - the rice bowls with an unexpected sauce paring, or the soups with a neat twist. I quite like it, and the food is all stuff that's easy to make but really satisfying.
