Becoming Vegan
by Vesanto Melina, R.D. and Brenda Davis, R.D.
Review by Erin Pavlina

Whether you're already vegan or trying to decide if you should become so, Becoming Vegan is a great resource and reference guide to the vegan way of life. It's both an excellent place to start, and a great place to re-visit when you have questions.

I very much enjoyed reading this book as it filled in many of the gaps in my nutrition knowledge. Even after reading several books and articles covering vegan nutrition, you still never feel like you really know everything there is to know. Melina and Davis cover everything. Not only should you read this book, you must keep it handy to use as reference when questions arise.

The book covers food plans, dietary guidelines, great sources for vitamins and minerals, growing vegan children, pregnancy, vegan athletes, and even eating disorders. You won't be able to remember everything you read due to the incredible detail and the fact that your brain can't store that many figures, but you will want this in your kitchen, to refer to every time you have a question or are looking for a good source of a particular vitamin.

In short, a great reference book. Not light reading, but extremely valuable information you must read at least once.
