I just tasted the vegan blueberry muffins this morning. DING-DANG! They're good. Of course, james loup-rah himself made them so they've got that extra touch of love in them, but I'm sure if I'd made the recipe on my own they'd taste just as good. I read most of the cookbook this morning and I'm telling you folks, it's definately worth your $10. I know I have my copy of it.
The best part is the illustrations.

One word: Phenomenal.

Hey I am a meat eater and James' Brother, and he has cooked quite a few meals for the rest of the meat eating family. I can vouch for his recipes that a lot of these meals taste delicious and I cant even tell some of them are vegan. I highly recommend this for everybody. And I am not just saying this because I am his brother...I hate the guy but damn he can cook.

I got this book as a gift from a friend who was friends with this guy. These are some really good vegan recipes. Very multi-cultured: everything from southern-fried foods to strange middle eastern dishes to mexican and so on. A lot of vegetarian/vegan cookbooks I've owned are full of healthy recipes that are more focused on how good for your body it is, rather than how tasty it is. Louprah obviously doesn't care so much about health. Hes more of a "does it please my belly" sort of guy. Plus, it's just really weird. Every recipe has an odd little drawing to go with it. And some of the dish names are ultra original. There's only like 50 recipes, but he gives you blank pages in the back to write your own ideas in. One problem I found, there weren't any page numbers, but that didn't really bother me all too much. The rest of the book made up for it.
