I've been a vegan for a number of years and this book is - quite frankly - a pitiful, embarrassing misrepresentation of plant-based diets. The majority of the recipes rely heavily on processed fake meats and cheeses (e.g. a "recipe" for a chef's salad is basically some lettuce, sliced fake ham, sliced fake turkey, sliced fake cheese, etc., ditto with the majority of the paninis and sandwiches), which should **not** be the basis of any healthy diet. I mean, I love a good fake burger from time to time, but only in moderation. It would have been nice to see more recipes based around unprocessed staples...vegetables, grains, beans and such.
In sum: Ew. This book has absolutely nothing of value to offer. If you're looking for a legitimately healthy means of dropping weight, I'd recommend one of Christina Pirello's whole foods cookbooks, instead.Get more detail about Skinny Bitch in the Kitch.
