I have been mostly vegetarian for over 40 years and only included dairy, eggs, and a small amount of fish for animal-based food. Generally, I've steered clear of legumes because they didn't appeal to or agree with me. My teenaged son has had a heavily meat-based diet because that's what he seemed to need growing up (much to my chagrin, especially early on when I realized the veggie diet wasn't working for him). About a year ago, my son became interested in adding more vegetables to his diet to improve his skin and general health. So I ordered this book, with low expectations, as I already have a TON of recipe books that have been disappointing (too many ingredients, recipes that don't turn out well or take too much time, etc).
To my great delight, this book has been a GODSEND. Take or leave the information preceding the recipes if it's more than you want to know. Personally, I found it helpful and motivating. You can quibble about "the science" if you want, but most of us can agree that it's beneficial to add more plant-based meals to our diets. The recipes are amazing because they are simple, quick to make, and my picky family likes them. Even the legume recipes are delicious and digestible! Most of the ingredients are available at my local Kroger (i.e. not a specialty store). Plus many recipes have beautiful photographs, so you know what they are going to end up looking like.
I read some of the negative reviews about this book. Keep in mind that you can just use it to add a few new healthy meals to your diet. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. I almost never leave a review on anything I buy and feel compelled this time because this book has made such a positive difference to my family and me.

Reviews with images
Anyone else get a book with a cover binding error?
This is not a review on content, but on the appearance of the book. My book is "upside down", as the cover is bound incorrectly. It doesn't affect the contents, but it is annoying.
