I have not done a review in a long time, but, I logged on to purchase this book for a friend who recently became a vegetarian. I am not, although I used to be a Vegan. However, I enjoy healthy meals. This book is GREAT! Soups are wonderful and flavorful with few ingredients and little time. Each page has two recipes which means less ingredients and directions to follow for each one. If you just want to incorporate vegetables into your diet or you are a Vegetarian this is THE book! You won't regret it!
