I used this book a lot in my transition from vegetarian to veganism. Most recipes are quick and easy with things you can find in most grocery stores. Great for new vegans and people looking to eat healthy!

5 stars - best cookbook out there in simple plant based cooking

It is amazing that the information in this book are still on point and relevant today. We have known the correct way to eat for many years.

love the recipes in this book! bea (huge meatatarian will even rat them!)

This is my favorite vegan cookbook. Everything is easy and tastes good. It relies on a lot of canned and frozen products to make preparation as simple as possible. All the ingredients are easily found in a regular grocery store.

This is an old book but many of the recipes are still good. Some use some products that either aren't available anymore or are no longer whole food plant based. But it's easy enough to make substitutions.

This book completely delivers on its promise, in the sense that all the meals are very quick and very easy. It follows the Mcdougall health plan (which I'm not on), so it's vegetarian and oil and dairy free. It wasn't that inspired (mainly combining cans of vegetables and some seasonings), but the soups and stews were good.

Aspects of the diet plan are included, and I could see where you'd lose weight on it - you can pretty much eat anything but animals, animal products and oil. I wasn't clear where they stood on fish, and I did miss that here (so I'm guessing it's out). The deserts in this book were not worthwhile at all.

Great info for those contemplating going vegan.

Quick and easy tasty vegan recipes, though the subtitle is not really correct. How can you prepare a recipe in 15 minutes or less if it takes 20 minutes to cook? Unless they mean that the prep work is 15 minutes or less?

McDougall makes it easy to cook vegan, low-fat meals. I read The McDougall Program and the effectiveness of this simple program for weight loss and health impressed me. I would highly recommend reading that book first, but this is a great addendum, for quick and easy vegan meals. It may sound weird to say I "read a cookbook," but I skimmed the recipes, while a quarter of this book consists of 1-page summaries of the McDougall philosophy. These summaries may seem more like rants, though, since he's so serious about low-fat, plant- and starch-based diets.

I'm interested in ethics of food, not weight loss, so it might seem odd that I like the McDougall diet so much, but he's just so good at making sense of food for me, making it easy to become vegan.

Lots of great vegan, plant based, lowfat recipes, and the ones I tried were definitely a success. The information contained in the book was quite good too. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I love the recipes in this book. I also love the recipes from John McDougall's news letter. Wonderfully easy recipes. You can always add more spices or omit anything you don't care for. Brilliant, low-fat, vegan and quick!
