I am venturing into vegetarian cooking in a serious way only recently. This cookbook gives me many new ideas as well as the basics to get going. The author has a lot of experience; this is one of many cookbooks she has authored. Because it is "vegan" it does not rely on dairy as many vegetarian receipes do. The range of receipes is comprehensive. My friend who has been vegetarian for 20 years got excited when she read it and is ordering one for herself. I can recommend it to both novice and experienced vegetarians.

I'm not a vegan or vegetarian (but I don't each much meat or dairy,) but I love this cookbook!
The book is wonderful--entertaining, educational and, most importantly, it is filled with glorious and interesting recipes with flavors from around the world.
This book is great for beginning and advanced vegan cooks. For beginners, the book includes basics for what food to stock in your pantry, kitchen equipment, cooking and prepping terminology. The book also includes a helpful section on how to prepare vegetables, grains and beans by grilling, roasting and steaming.
The recipes are the crux of the book and they are great! Full of flavor dishes like portobella salad with spicy mustard dressing, tomato rice soup with roasted garlic and navy beans, marzana chili verde, spinach linguine with basil and cilantro pesto and artichokes and spicy tempeh and broccoli rabe with rotelle are just a few of the recipes I've tried and love.
Veganomicon also contains many terrific tips and great comments by the authors.
Highly recommend for all cooks!
Vegan or Not, Try this cookbook! August 11, 2008

When we purchased this cookbook, my wife was a vegetarian, and I was your standard omnivore. I do all the cooking in the house, and thought I would purchase this book to expand our horizons. Wow, great recipes, very detailed instructions and some valuable basic cooking information that has been helpful in developing my skills in the kitchen. Since buying the book, I am now a devoted vegetarian and have not looked back. We use the book for basic recipe structure, and then either leave the recipe as vegan or add some extra items that render it vegetarian. Either way, amazing! Give the book a shot, you won't regret it.

I was disappointed, primarily because I'm a new Vegan, and a busy mom. If I was young, single and hip (and living in New York City) I would probably have loved this book. I did get some great information from the first few chapters about Vegan staples and how to prepare vegetables, etc. The book also provides some good background information about "alternative" grains like millet and quinoa. Other than that I've made 1 recipe. This is gourmet cooking for the long time Vegan who's looking to add some variety or wants to cook for other people and impress them with amazing dishes. In fairness, it looks like many of the dishes would be fantastic is that's what you're looking for. Be prepared to visit several specialty stores (again, fine if you're in NYC, impossible if you're in rural America) and spend a lot of time. "Quick recipes" are marked with a special symbol when they take less than 45 minutes. As a mother of a young child I don't spend that much time cooking dinner unless it's Thanksgiving. In addition, much of the humor is aimed at people who live in NYC (which I have visited many times. It's the best city in the world, and in my opinon has the friendliest people - if that's a shocker you haven't spent enough time there. Go Yankees!) or people who read the first book and care about what Isa's grandmother thinks. It's a lovely book, but only for a limited audience.
