"... the recipes themselves offer more detail, lovely photography, and fresh ideas for plant-based food, such as lentil and chocolate granola, beetroot fritters with labneh and quick pickled radish, and lentil and mushroom cottage pie. Weber even manages to sneak beans into desserts, as in her chocolate, hazelnut, and black bean brownies." -Publishers Weekly
