From Booklist
Krizmanic offers a great companion to her 1994 proactive A Teen's Guide to Going Vegetarian. Quotes from young adults who have made themselves comfortable as vegetarians are scattered through a palatable selection of vegan (no meat, milk, eggs, etc.) recipes encompassing everything from breakfast items to desserts. Also included are many "fast-food" and easy-to-prepare (identified by a special icon) dishes for teens who aren't crazy about spending time in the kitchen. Recipes are laid out nicely, with ingredients listed first, followed by a numbered sequence of clear instructions. Boxed insets in Krizmanic's strong, clear voice add background on vegetarianism, and there's a helpful food chart to remind readers about nutritional values. Teens new to vegetarian cooking will find the glossary of "unusual" foods helpful, as well. Stephanie Zvirin
