The Vegan Table is stunning in every detail: concept, photography, design, and, of course, recipes. Table would be an enjoyable read even for non-cooks; it is a classic, a beautiful work of art, and deserving of a James Beard nomination.” – VegNews, July/August 2009

"Patrick-Goudreau’s attractive second cookbook (after The Joy of Vegan Baking: The Compassionate Cooks’ Traditional Treats and Sinful Sweets) features seasonal menus for occasions ranging from “Romantic Dinners for Two” to “Feasts for the Holidays.” Her sophisticated but mostly uncomplicated recipes will appeal to nonvegans and vegans alike, and dozens of sidebars offer tips on entertaining, information on ingredients, and more."
