And here's what *I* think: Isa Chandra Moskowitz was my saving grace and first vegan cookbook purchase of Vegan With a Vengeance in 2006, when I was just a baby vegan. Her writing style and cooking style gave me the confidence to try things I'd have never considered, and for that alone, she is my hero.
With every subsequent Moskowitz cookbook, I am even more impressed, and this Appetite for Reduction is no exception to the rule.

There are PHOTOS! There are ICONS! The index is good! (And I have some that are inaccurate as all get out which is uber frustrating....) There are tips, Nutrition Tips, and basic bean cooking instructions for the uninitiated bean cook.

If you want to cut the fat, get dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less, and be entertained in the process, buy this book. Also buy a copy to loan out, because you'll rue the day you can't find yours to get at the Mango BBQ Beans recipe to go with your Cool Slaw.
