Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Is vegan food healthy (because it's free of animal products)? Or is it unhealthy? (Aren't you missing out on some vitamins?) Can you really lose weight on a vegan diet? (Don't you just fill up on carbs?) Or are vegans actually anorexic? (All they eat is lettuce!) Finally, in Appetite for Reduction, there's a cookbook that busts the myths about veganism, diets, getting skinny, and staying healthy, not to mention the best soundtrack for rocking out in your kitchen.

Isa Chandra Moskowitz is known for making groundbreaking strides in vegan cooking, proving that going vegan doesn't mean sacrificing flavor. But after years of perfecting cupcake and cookie recipes, she wanted to lose weight. In Appetite for Reduction, Moskowitz teams up with a top nutritionist to create 100 delicious, big-portion recipes — from Spinach Lasagna to Manhattan Glam Chowder — that are fewer than 400 calories per serving, low in fat and sugar, and high in fiber. Best of all, a healthy dinner can be on your table in under forty-five minutes.

Synopsis:

This is my favorite cookbook, and I have just about every vegan cookbook under the sun. The recipes in this book are simple, surprising, and unfathomably healthy. It's a lot of bang for your buck. Everything in here has that extra somethin'-somethin' that makes it so you never want to go out and eat again. Isa also has great tips for substitutions and pairings, so you're never left in the dark. Get hungry!

Isa does it again. Another fabulous cookbook that will impress vegans and omnivores alike. Quick, easy and unbelievably tasty recipes. The nutritional information is helpful for any veggie fiend who finds themselves speechless when asked "but where do you get your protein or calcium?"

People seem to have this weird idea that vegans are all skinny and super healthy. Let me tell you: I had a harder time maintaining a healthy diet and weight as a vegan than I ever did as a meat-eater. It's just too easy to fall back on French fries and vegan corn dogs. Well, the original Punk Vegan is here to rescue you and your waistline. This book is full of brilliant, simple recipes that are delicious and low-calorie. You can wow your vegan and carnivorous friends alike with meals that are filling and healthful -- like the Big Fat Taco Salad or Curry Laksa. And you won't even have to tell them that it's diet food -- or even vegan.
