 Great little vegan cookbook September 19, 2007

If you know nothing about vegan cooking and want to learn for yourself then this is not the cookbook for you, but if you are cooking for vegan guests, then this book provides some nice Caribbean recipes with good nutritional value and taste.
To the reviewer who didn't like it because it had English measurements - its an English book, not everyone in the whole world is an American and if you can buy the book online then you can look up the equivalent measurements online too.
To the reviewer who didn't like it because the recipes contained a lot of nuts: vegan protein is either from nuts or beans, primarily soy beans - which aren't Caribbean. When I cook for guests I try to avoid all but a small quantity of beans, for obvious reasons!
I was a charter cook and cooked recipes from this book for a week for two guests on a yacht and they were happy with the results.
 whole series terrible November 9, 2004

I ordered four vegan cookbooks from this author (Italian, Mexican, Indian, Caribbean). I hate them all. First off, they are small and contain few recipes. Half the recipes they contain are for items I either wouldn't cook from scratch (tortilla's) or are so basic they are found in every other cookbook on my shelf (tomato sauce).
Next, the books are from the UK so you better know how much a dessertspoon is, what "hard vegan cheese" is, as well as know what an aubergine or courgette is. There is no glossary or nutritional information given in any of the books for any of the recipes.
But by far, the most irritating feature of this author and her books is her love of nuts. No matter what cuisine the book is suppose to be about, the recipes are filled with nuts....walnuts, filbernuts, hazelnuts, etc. It would be fair to say that at least 2/3'rds of the recipes in each book contain nuts. In the Italian book 7 of 8 recipes in one chapter contain nuts! I've eaten in many an Italian restaurant and not once have I ever had a dish with walnuts in it. This woman is nuts for nuts.
So, even at the low price, I cannot recommend these books to anyone, especially those with nut allergies.
 Not as innovative as I would have liked.. November 8, 2002

I was really hoping for something more innovative for vegan carribean cooking. Some of the recipes are interesting, but most of them I feel like I could have come up with myself.
