Title: Simple path to plant-based nutrition
Review: After I saw the documentary "Forks Over Knives," I hesitated for a few days, then decided to plunge into a vegan way of life. The McDougalls' Quick and Easy has been indispensable in that endeavor; of all the vegan cookbooks I have acquired, this one is the most used (and most stained!). The recipes are simple and, as the title promises, fast, without many hard-to-find or exotic ingredients. This cuisine is not fancy, which is part of its appeal; it's good, hearty "home food," designed for maximum flavor, satisfaction and health.The book features a lot of Tex-Mex dishes, a cuisine that is not a favorite in our house, but many of Mary McDougall's delicious chilis, pasta-and-bean entrees and soups have become staples. The Spicy Lentil Soup (with red lentils and frozen hash brown potatoes) is outstanding. The health and nutrition tips sprinkled throughout the book are helpful, too.
