Editorial Review: Synopsis: Vegans have often been misunderstood or treated with suspicion because of their beliefs. Now, this strict form of vegetarianism is attracting thousands of new adherents both young and old and it has now become socially accepted as more people learn the health risks of eating too much meat and the benefits both to themselves and the planet of a plant-based diet. "Vegan with a Vengeance" is a vegan cookbook for the 21st century. It is the creation of Isa Chandra Moskowitz, co-host of the hugely successful TV vegan cookery show in the US called "The Post Punk Kitchen". Isa's cooking philosophy embraces being kind to animals (all recipes are completely animal-product free) and your wallet - while being creative and having fun in the process. She emphasizes fresh ingredients and says that, like good music, cooking is best when it's innovative and experimental.Her inspired recipes - covering all the meals for the day are influenced by dishes from around the world that include: Asparagus and Sun-dried Tomato Frittata, Sweet Potato Hash with Five-Spice and Watercress, White Bean and Roasted Garlic Soup, Fresh mango Summer Rolls, Ginger Roasted Winter Vegetables, Cold Udon Noodles with Peanut Sauce, Raspberry and Chocolate Chip Blondie Bars and Lemon Gem Cupcakes.

 Rating:  - fantastic vegan cookbookThis book is fabulous. Being a recently converted veggie to vegan due to my son's allergies I was struggling a bit, particularly with cakes and puddings. but WOW! the recipes in here are just superb. the pancakes were to die for, I don't think I'll ever go back to the regular version. the macadamia blondies went within 24hrs of being made and the whole family has enjoyed "fronch" toast and so many of the other scrummy recipes in here. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting easy to make, tasty vegan food. Rating: - Great book, just a shame theres no picturesVegan with a Vengeance: Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-free Recipes This is a really great book. I'm not a vegan but love vegan cooking and baking and these recipes really stand up to the test, especially if you're looking for something a bit different! Not really your standard vegan book, and was a tad daunted by some of the ingredients first but once you buy the basics it's great. Rating: - Great book I found this book excellent. There are a large variety of recipes - salads, curries - and yes also waffles and pancakes . What's really nice is that the author conveys the idea that vegan cooking can also be pleasurable and decadent rather than just ordinary or earnest. This book is great to compliment the hard core raw and vegan books on the shelf. It also appeals to veggies and meat eaters. I also loved the fact that there were no pictures too... As a trainee psychotherapist I could find the comments from the cat slightly irratating, ibid.,the punk points and the politics of hairy legged women, but it is also a strength of the book which is also a sort of autobiography told through food. ...

There are recipes in it to impress vegans and meat-eaters alike and it's incredibly refreshing to own a vegan cookbook that packs the punches and isn't all about nut loaves and pasta salad. The mango ginger tofu is incredible, I'll make a batch to last me through the week and never get sick of it and the Big, Gigantoid Crunchy Peanut-Butter Oatmeal cookies are the most delicious cookies I've ever made - I bake them as gifts for people and everyone says how amazing they are! The bottom line is that this book has a huge amount of very creative dishes, some are a little labour intense but most you can make for week day meals. I've not once regretted ... Read More: Rating: - Fantastic and Unique!Just a note: I have the American version of this cookbook. I have had this cookbook for about 6 months and it is incredible! The recipes are easy to follow and the author gives substitutions for hard to find ingredients. The majority of the recipes don't take long to make and the dessert section is fantastic. The Fauxstess Cupcakes are especially delicious. The recipes are really unique and lots of fun to make. The author really emphasizes fresh ingredients and steers clear of using fancy gadgets and cookware. Overall, it's really enjoyable and accessible, even for people who are new to being vegan or who are not particularly skilled in the kitchen. I highly recommend it. |
