Book Reviews of Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook
Book Review: BEST COOKBOOK EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
Words cannot express how much I love this cookbook. Everything I have made from it has been fantastic. I was an ovo-lacto vegetarian, but this book has inspired me to become a vegan. The food in this book is so great. Even my meat eating husband and my two children love the meals I have made from it. The pasta dishes are our divine! Try the Penne Vodka and the Basil Cilantro Pesto!!
This book is a must for every kitchen!
Book Review: Essential cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great cookbook! Every recipe I've tried has been great...well, except for the chick peas with BBQ sauce wrapped in kale leaves, which is was not so hot - but I had kale and there's only so much to be done with it - and they get an A + for originality on that front! The way the book is written if hip and clever. Just a warning that grandma might be a wee confused by it! I have made the coffee-chocolate bundt cake - which is so moist and several other desserts which were all well received. I only have a few tiny complaints - one being that the spice amounts are too low - I have doubled the spices in all the recipes I've made and I think the results have been perfect and would have been pretty bland if I'd stuck to the book - but that's nothing unique to just this cookbook. The only other issue is that sometimes the amount of food made is too much and it's hard to anticipate. For instance, I made a lentil stew recipe that made so much that I was eating it every day for a week. Granted it was good, but now I know for sure to cut it in half. Book Review: Best Vegan Cookbook Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I do a lot of vegan cooking, and am often bored by how unimaginative many vegan recipes are. With this book, however, boredom is far, far away! The variety and attention to detail, mixed with the authors' humor, makes this book unbeatable. My favorite cookbook of all time!Book Review: User-friendly!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love to cook and, after becoming vegan, I really needed something basic and practical as well as user-friendly for my non-vegan family. So many of the recipes consist of foods I already serve, such as the sweet potato and pear casserole. Everybody loved it! Most helpful within this book is the section on what to keep in the cupboards. With the exception of two items (agar and nutritional yeast), I have found all I need in my regular grocery store. It's a great recipe book!Book Review: Surprising and interesting flavor combos. Gourmet vegan.
Summary: 5 Stars
My sister was raving about this book, so I decided to get it, even though I'm vegetarian but not vegan.
Wow. I haven't been so excited about a cookbook in a long time. Looking through the book, the recipes really pique my interest with their interesting flavor combinations. Quinoa salad with Mango and Cilantro (this has scallions, vinegar...surprising, and YUMMY). Edamame and Corn salad with Sesame (soy sauce and toasted sesame oil really make this one). I also really enjoyed the scone that has currants (I used raisins) and caraway seeds. My husband looked at it and expected a boring raisin scone. The caraway seeds make it a whole new experience. What a thrill.
Nothing bland or boring in these recipes, they're all exciting and absolutely delicious. I must have cooked 5 or 6 recipes from this book in the first week, and everything I've tried has been a success and well received by guests and husband. Highly recommended!
