Library Journal Review

Making a major life change can be difficult; having the right resource is essential. Authors Adams, Patti Breitman (coauthors How To Eat Like a Vegetarian Even If You Never Want To Be One), and Virginia Messina (Vegan for Life; The Vegan Sourcebook), possess decades of experience in vegan/vegetarian education, advocacy, and cooking. They cheer readers forward, encouraging dietary change at a comfortable pace and are mindful that a desire to eat healthy foods does not equal a desire to cook. Meal options address experienced, novice, and noncooks. The recipes are not overly complicated and will appeal to a variety of tastes, making the book a good primer for those dipping their toes into a vegan diet. The target audience is addressed with attention to aging and nutrition, diseases, and overall vitality. Inclusive of the intended reader, too, are discussions of how transitioning to a vegan diet affects long-term relationships and caregiving. Testimonials from Messina's blog (theveganrd.com) reinforce the message that "it's never too late" to make "positive aging" transformations. VERDICT Readers seeking practical, well-researched information will benefit from the authors' combined experience and expertise. The book's -back-to-basics approach, too, comes at a good time, when many current vegan cookbooks focus on specific cuisines.--Meagan Storey, Virginia Beach (c) Copyright 2014.
