I LOVE THIS BOOK!

I adore this book. First, I love Isa's writing syle. Its like having a really funny friend explaining the recipes and procedures. I think it makes the book really approachable, not only to new vegans but to anyone who is new to cooking in general.

Everything that I have tried has been delicious. Some favorites are:
Coconut Lemon Bundt Cake, Pumpkin Baked Ziti, Chickpea Cutlets, Chili Cornmeal Crusted Tofu, Spicy Tempeh and Broccoli Rabe with Rotelle, Pasta Della California, Vietnamese Seitan Baguette with Savory Dipping Sauce, Snobby Joes, and Baked Potato and Greens Soup with Potato-Wedge Croutons.

As an experienced cook, I don't take any recipe or cookbook at face value. Everyone has their own preferences and tastes. Because of this, I judge a cookbook based on whether each recipe as a whole works, with minor adjustments for personal taste. If too many recipes need too much overhaul, I deem the book rather useless. This is not the case with Veganomicon. Sure, I have tweaked all of the recipes above to suit my own preferences. I think you have to do that. My preferences are not always going to match the author's or yours.

So, there hasn't been a single recipe that I felt I couldn't use. Some of the flavor combinations are refreshing and unexpected. I like that. Its not the "same old same old". I've got alot of cookbooks with typical vegan recipes in it. I wasn't looking for another.

I was also looking for something innovative and traditional (with a twist) that would age into a classic. Something that my family would use for years. This book is it.

MAKE YOUR VEGETABLES SING!

I've been using this cookbook at least 2-4x/week to create healthy and flavorful meals for my whole family, my 11-year old loves these recipes, too, without missing the meat. Also, this book has tons of creative side dishes to create from veggies expanding our menu to include old favorites like Deli Mac Salad and Prospect Park Potato Salad to dressing up home fries with "cheezy Sauce". I love the brunch sections, the sauce sections, the salad sections, the dessert sections--well, they're all great. Most are FANTASTIC like the Mole Sauce and the Cashew Cucumber Dip!Yum! Do yourself & your family a favor and get this book today! I recommend it to all my friends.

Best Vegan Cookbook, Even For Non-Vegans

I'm a long-time lover of gourmet food, and have recently tried to go vegan for moral reasons. I was thinking I would have to give up on anything creamy, but Veganomicon has some amazing recipes with "pine-nut cream," that completely satisfies my need for something cheese-esque. In fact, everything I've tried from the book has been delicious. The pumpkin ziti seems decadent, but is actually virtuous! And I can't say enough good things about the apricot BBQ sauce. But don't take my word for it...use Amazon's "search inside" and check out a few recipes. The Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Seed rice roll is a perfect fall treat to start out with!
