One of my top three vegan cookbooks

(And one of the other top ones is her newer book, The Veganomicon)

I found Vegan with a Vengeance at my local Waldenbooks in podunk town, Okla. I was so shocked that they had it, I bought it (trying to create demand here, you know?) It's one of the best purchases I've made in my young vegan life.

I found the recipes wonderfully easy to make, and easy to find the ingredients for, even in a small Oklahoma town (with occasional trips for specialty items to the health food store about an hour away, but only if I was going in that direction anyway). I love her pancake recipe ... it's one of the easiest vegan pancake recipes I've ever found. Her scrambled tofu recipe is also great ... I was loathe to abandon my own tried and true scrambled tofu, but I decided to give hers a try and haven't looked back. The pumpkin-chocolate chip cookies are also awesome. I was skeptical about the "fronch" toast, because I loved me some french toast back in the (nonvegan) day. I was pleasantly surprised. It's not totally like the real thing, but it looks convincing and it tastes pretty awesome in its own right.

All in all, I liked that these were actual real recipes of actual real food that actual real people eat. Five stars!

I'm in love with this cookbook

This woman is a kitchen goddess. I am not a vegan (maybe I should say that I am a middle aged Republican with heart disease so no one thinks I am in love with the author ;^). But I am in love with this book. I have lost track of how many copies I have given to family and friends. While I have many favorite cookbooks, more meals appear on our table out of this book than the next two combined.

My single favorite meal from this book is the pomegranate barbecue tofu (which I usually make with seitan or tempeh instead of tofu -- just because she is a goddess doesn't mean you can't play with the recipes) with coconut rice. Horseradish tofu is another staple along with lemon corn waffles with blueberry sauce, cold udon noodles with peanut sauce -- not to mention the simple sides like sweet potato fries. And her scones are to live for (this is healthful food after all, why eat something that will make you die?).

The author does have a lot of attitude -- and leftist politics. If you are offended by this, get over it: the food is worth swallowing your politics (along with some tamarind sauce).

Best Vegan Cookbook Out There

I have bought several vegan cookbooks before this one, and have been disappointed in all of them. This is by far the best. This is not a book about how to recreate standard meat dishes with meat substitutes, but rather a book with tons of fantastic recipes that do not not contain animal products. There are a few ingredients that are hard to find, but not many, and they are mostly optional.

Every recipe I have made has been terrific. Now I need to get the new cookbook, too! I liked the muffins so much that I made three batches of different ones today. Soooooo good.
