I found this book to be much below my expectations. The listings were very oudated, and way too many of the restaurants reviewed or listed were not vegetarian restaurants, but what the author considered "natural". The listings did not indicate if a restaurant was vegan, vegetarian, or if it served Meat of Fish, and the natural food stores listings was very incomplete,with no directions or indications of facilities offered as in The Tofu Tollbooth by Dar Williams. I retuned the book.

The ultimate tool for mobile vegetarians, vegans and travelers looking for a good, healthy meal. Over 1,000 restaurants are described, with hundreds featured in great detail and reviewed using the unique Artichoke Trail rating system. Food stores and markets serving the vegetarian community are also listed, as well as facts and interesting tidbits that health-minded individuals will appreciate.
