 Deee-lish fast and surprisingly simple vegan cooking January 2, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is one of my favorite everyday vegan cookbooks. It has great 'oh I never thought of making that vegan-style' recipes that taste fantastic, are quick to make and use ingredients that you more than likely already have in your pantry.
If you're new to the vegan world, Vegan Vittles has some great vegan primer info touching on everything from vegan ethics to a breakdown on basic vegan cooking ingredients.
The book itself is well-written and well-organized, which are both ridiculously important to me (typos in cookbooks make me want to pull my hair out). This is definitely a book for vegan chefs of all levels and perfect for those that just want to eat a little bit healthier. Love it!
Fun, informative, inspiring. November 23, 2006

This is a wonderful cookbook. A must-read for all vegans, especially beginners who aren't entirely familiar with using vegan ingredients.

This is my absolute favorite vegan cookbook, and I make several of the recipes repeatedly. Jo's tried and tested recipes are so tasty, I've never been disappointed. Most dishes call for simple and easy-to-find ingredients, making it handy for every day use. From fabulous puddings to savory soups and sumptuous main dishes, I've shared many of these creations with family and friends, with rave reviews. You will not be disappointed with this book, for sure and for certain!
 Delicious vegan recipes June 13, 2006

I love this book, from the recipes to the farm animal pictures to the little phrases changed to avoid animal cruelty. Almost every recipe I made from this book has rocked. I wasn't crazy about the grilled cheese, and the oatmeal cookies were pretty dry, but most of the recipes were awesome. The pumpkin pie, potato-kale soup, macaroni salad, carrot cake, basic seitan recipe, nut milk recipes, etc. were great. And I love that all those little cooking details (blending hot liquids, grinding nuts, properly heating pans, etc.) are included.
My only problem with the book is that so many of the recipes rely on tofu. Like using silken tofu for almost any dessert or sauce. This makes the food taste good and gives it a great texture, and I love tofu...but I'm not convinved it's the super food we say it is, and for variety's sake I don't think it should be added to so many foods. So I guess this book is a little tofu-heavy, but beyond that, it's the best. I'd definitely recommend it to any vegan.

This is a great cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow, and most use common ingredients. The chickpea a la king is one of my favorites!
