Veggie Works Vegan Cookbookby: Mark W. Rasmussen 2001-06 Search: vegan cookery |
||
|
I've only tried the chocolate/peanut butter cheesecake, and I'm sure some of the other recipes are great, but, for the cheesecake, I followed the recipe exactly and got a brownie-esque "cheesecake" that was completely inedible because of the TWO POUNDS of unsweetened and bitter chocolate that the recipe called for (this seemed a bit weird to me, but I trusted the recipe). I couldn't even taste the peanut butter. I doubt they tested the recipe, because it just doesn't work at all, and I'm frankly a little scared to try any other recipes. If anyone had a different experience and somehow managed to make edible cheesecake, then please comment, because I'd like to know how that happened.

This is the first cookbook review I've ever done. I hope this helps someone who can't look at the book before purchasing.
As vegetarians (oftentimes vegan) for twenty years, we're always looking for exciting ways to round out our meal planning. This book is not the answer. In my opinion, it fails several different types of vegetarian-minded people, so find the one that's right for you. ***Before we get started, though, please let me explain how/why we became vegetarians. When our twin daughters were born two months early (21 years ago), they were born "without some body part" that would allow them to digest animal protein. In fact, for them, it's life-threatening. It isn't an enzyme issue but actually something missing. ... Read More: >>More Details |

Save yourself the bother. Buy a regular meaty cookbook and insert the word Vegan in front of anything you might not be able to eat; so that's recipes using vegan chicken, vegan ham, vegan prawns, vegan grouse, it really is that simple. You'll also need a kitchen full of rare and obscure ingredients most of which you won't have heard of or be able to obtain.
Truly a waste of the money I paid for it at a charity shop; I would offer it to them again but for the risk of someone else being as equally disappointed (1 star because I can't give it zero) >>More Details |

Vegan Cooking for Everyoneby: Leah Leneman 2001-11 Search: vegan cookery |

I have tried the Penut Butter Oaties and was really surprised how easy and delicious they were. Actually, the simplicity of the majority of the recipes in the book was surprising. My biggest disappointment with this book is just that other than great recipes, there's not much to it. ie, no nutrition information, no background or supplemental information about the dishes, like what is a good accompaniment, not even serving information (Am I cooking for one or twenty here?). There are also only a few pictures. Overall, good recipes, but I just prefer a book that is dare I say, more, "meaty".

This cookbook is just alright. It has so many good ideas, but I think they are missing something.... And another problem I have is the directions are not well thought out. I have to read them like 5 times and try to guess what she was trying to say. She seems to forget steps, and also makes things take way longer by cooking all these different parts of a dish in different pans and then mix them in the end. But if you are someone who can cook and need some inspiration, it does have a lot of good ideas..... you will just have to 'twist' it to your own tastes in the end.

This is the perfect cookbook for anyone who has limited time to cook and wants to cut back on the meat in their diet. The recipes have enough ingredients to be interesting--most taste really good--but are simple enough to make in a short time from start to finish. The cooking time for almost all the recipes is just a few minutes, so they are perfect for weekday evenings. For those who still want meat, these dishes make great, filling, and nutritious side dishes. With only two people, we always have enough leftovers for another meal.

A Vegan Taste of Greece (Vegan Cookbooks)by: Linda Majzlik April 01, 2004 Search: vegan cookery |

I didn't know about many greek vegan dishes. Most of the greek restaurants I have been to may have a few vegetarian dishes, but not many. This book opened my eyes (and stomach!) to the delights of vegan greek cooking.

Be aware that this is more like a booklet with recipes that rely HEAVILY on processed faux seafood products. It has the feel of an informational product guide that would be free or for which you'd pay a few dollars (not $12.00) If I could find these products (and had any desire to buy them), why would I need a special cookbook? I could substitute them in any recipe. I expected a real cookbook, and I am VERY disappointed in this book.

In general, I'm not a person who believes in "Asian" food. Try food from Thailand, Canton, Mongolia, and Korea, and tell me those are the same. However, it's not the cuisine that Dr. Le is referring to as "Asian," but the diet. This is a guide to eating and cooking for a particular Chinese diet which has spread to various other Asian countries, including Thailand and Viet Nam. In addition to abstention from all animal products (including eggs and dairy), this diet avoids or eschews tobacco, onions, garlic, and two other similar "pungent spices." (Dr. Le lists chives, shallots, and leeks, and does not mention tobacco for cooking.) So that's what the "Asian" part of the title is all about.
This is the only English book I know of dealing with this "Asian" veganism. American veganism ... Read More: >>More Details |
