You Won’t Believe It’s Vegan!
The recipes in this book are pretty easy for the most part, so this is a great option for those new to cooking, especially vegan cooking. But I'm not a big fan of exclamatory cookbook titles, and in the case of You Won't Believe It's Vegan!, it's even a bit misleading.
