The Cranks Bible: A Timeless Collection of Vegetarian Recipes

"This is a wonderful collection of easy to prepare vegetarian dishes that taste amazing. Nadine Abensur transforms simple vegetables like potatoes and spinach into something heavenly. This is what vegetarian food is all about ... dishes that make you want to make them again and again and again. Some of my favourites are the beetroot risotto, spinach soup, and the celeriac and porcini gratin. I love this book because all the dishes I have tried are lovely and if you're cooking for someone else you can be guaranteed that whatever you choose to make from this book will impress your guest without fail. Gone are the days of boring, bland veggie food; Nadine Abensur's book changes the taste of lentils, tofu and cabbage to something spectacular and special."

"I have just given my unused Cranks Bible to the local charity shop. I liked the lovely photos, but found the recipes not to my taste."

"Having been veggie over 30 years I had the original Cranks books these by Nadine Abensur are a poor reflection on Cranks."

"Nadine Abensur is a genius. I love this book and have read it from cover to cover several times. I also use it all the time. Every recipie I have tried has worked and even ones that seem a bit strange taste divine. I would say it is more for the advanced cook but Nadine's passion and enthusiasm for cooking and food in totally infectious.

A must for everyone, vegetarian or not!"

"Some excellent and easy recipes. Still a lot of the typical old wholesome cranks style recipes but then again it is a cranks book. Aesthetically pleasing however my biggest criticism is probably the fact that recipes are not always set out across the open pages and you have to turn the page mid-way through, not ideal in the kitchen. But generally good with some interesting stuff."
