"Mielle is committed to truth not fads. Like many of you I have found that a vegan diet is not always the healthiest way to go and I am appalled by the brutality and unconsciousness of factory farming. Mielle has found the middle road--the road of heart and health--we do become what we eat. If we purchase food that was raised with love, prepared with love and eaten with love--well, we become loving awareness!"
--Michael Stone, Host of KVMR's Conversations
"Inspirational and informative. I love that Mielle leaves so much room (and permission) to improvise and to use what is on hand. A good recipe in my opinion is an out line that leaves the reader inspired to riff ... or not!!! Enjoy, I know you will."

"This book is definitely something I wish I had had while transitioning into a plant-based diet from a standard American diet. It covers literally every aspect of plant-based cooking, both nutritionally and culinarily. It basically helps you transition with no fears, worries or "temptations." It covers any and every type of recipe you may be craving, and will help you prove to yourself, and the world, that living this lifestyle is not only easy, but it is enjoyable and such a "beautiful" way to live."
--Jasmine Briones, author of Sweet Simple Vegan blog
"Veganish is the perfect guide for meat-eaters who want to cook for vegetarian or vegan friends, or for those who want to ease into a plant-based lifestyle themselves. The book offers a variety of sauces, dressings, soups, veggie dishes and desserts that can be thrown together with minimal time and effort, and very few exotic ingredients. Veganism doesn't have to be difficult."
