Review:
"While most vegan cookbooks are anemic, underfed volumes-some no-brainer pasta recipes, a few things to do with tofu, maybe some oddball desserts-this slam-bang effort from vegan chefs Moskowitz and Romero (Vegan with a Vengeance) is thorough and robust, making admirable use of every fruit and vegetable under the sun, without once asking readers to make do with fake meat products and egg replacements. Instead, the eccentric authors offer dozens of novel, delicious ways to get excited about eating meat-, dairy- and egg-free. Take Southwestern Corn Pudding, a winning casserole rich with coconut milk and an unexpected dash of maple syrup-a likely MVP at your next Thanksgiving (whether it's centered around turkey or tofu). Almost as addictive are Rustic White Beans and Mushrooms, which get their bite from fresh herbs, and Lentils and Rice with Caramelized Onions and Spiced Pita Crisps, a transcendent Middle Eastern comfort food. Vegan breakfasts get overdue attention: sitting in front of a hot stack of velvety Blueberry Corn Pancakes and hearty Blue Flannel Hash, who's going to miss the bacon? Best of all is the wide selection of terrific desserts: everything from Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies to decadent Caramel-Apple-Spice Cupcakes boldy fill the space where most eggless, milkless and butterless cookbooks fear to tread." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

I love this book! Although some may be put off by the very few pictures in this volume, if you're a real cook you will appreciate the amazing variety and sheer number of recipes included in this valuable reference guide to vegan cooking. Need to know how to make a basic vegan gravy? It's here. Need to wow someone with a fabulous dessert? That's here too.
The authors have put in their time in the vegan world, and it shows. The recipes are original and reliable, and if you like this one, definitely try Isa's other cookbooks. They are always fun - the attitude is refreshing and the recipes WORK.

This cookbook is outstanding in every way. I speak from experience-- I was one of the many testers who worked long and hard with Isa and Terry to make sure that the recipes were perfect and the directions were clear! They are some of the most creative and innovative cooks around, and their food reflects their sublime balance of interesting and comforting.
Some of the best meals I have ever made comes from this book! Those just diving in to the many recipes should keep an eye out for the chickpea cutlets, the seitan picatta, the red lentil and cauliflower curry. . . and those are just a few of my favorite meals. The caesar salad dressing is now a staple in my house! In terms of the deserts, the banana-chocolate-chip bread pudding is amazing, and the rumnog cookies were a huge hit when I made them for friends and family last holiday season.
I hope everyone gets this on their shelf: vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore! It is a worthwhile investment, the food is absolutely sublime.
