Book Reviews of Living Vegan For Dummies

Book Review: Great book for ANY level of Vegan!
Summary: 5 Stars

As a health enthusiast whose friends & network are primarily people interested in feeling & being their best every day, I have found that every form of lifestyle or eating has a "dogma" stigma to it - a hey, jump on the bandwagon & you too can be a cool kid! What a turn-off to have to be perfect every moment with what you eat, according to some set of "rules."

As a mostly vegan myself (I follow ayurvedic principles & allow salmon and cold water fish into my diet), I dance around a lot with wanting to live completely vegan -- no leather purses, watching every ingredient in toiletries and household goods. Just that I'm being conscious about it -- without being "perfect" is a fabulous thing. That's the best part I like about this book ... it meets you where you are. It doesn't expect you to toss all your kitchen items out the window & buy all new vegan products. One at a time, little changes begin to form into one big change. Or many big changes even.

The format is great. The non-preaching approach is like cozy, living chat over tea with a friend. The recipes are simple ingredients (fresh, whole foods) & the topics are fun. Each chapter glides smoothly to the next so the reader isn't spending too much time on one topic. There's definitely something in here for everyone. As someone who knows a lot about veganism already, I found a lot of aha!s and wisdom nuggets in here that made me glad I picked up this book.
