I absolutely love The Inspired Vegan. I think the work Bryant Terry is doing in food and politics and among "minorities" is truly amazing. He is an admirable man doing admirable work and this cookbook, The Inspired Vegan is a fine example of his commitment to changing the way people eat, encouraging people to eat differently, and being as eco-friendly/responsible as possible.

I got this as an ebook, but it's so great that I also want the physical copy. I fully intend to refer to it in the future. The recipes all seem so amazing, I've only tried a few, but I plan to have them all. This is a great resource for vegetarians and vegans. I can't wait to get some of my friends reading it...I know they'll strongly consider vegetarianism once they see some of Terry's recipes. Also, the book is very user friendly and basic - just what I need. I'm still learning my way around the kitchen and I love that Terry does not omit any steps, like so many other authors, it makes me feel like he really cares that I get the recipe and get it so well that I feel comfortable remixing it in the future.

The music accompaniments are also another fabulous idea of Terry and shows just how interconnected he is as a man, father, husband, chef, activist, vegan, etc. He provided me with a great deal of music, film, and books to explore this summer.

I cannot fully express how amazing I think The Inspired Vegan: Seasonal Ingredients, Creative Recipes, Mouthwatering Menus is and I don't think I'll ever fully express the admiration I have for Bryant Terry. This is a cookbook I think everyone should have. I love it!
