Great easy-to-use cookbook
Rating:
5 / 5
This a great book. The instructions are easy to follow. The recipes turn out great.
There are also very helpful sections like the one that gives cooking times for various foods using different cooking methods.

This book (Don't be fooled by the titile) is great - if you're a VEGAN, and not a Vegetarian. It's also splendid if you have a health food store close at hand, because the majority of the ingredients in just about every recipe are not to be found not at your local grocer. I was disappointed - as my hopes had been so high about this book. I opened my package, excited and as I went along, page after page I soured. Sorry but this book just wasn't anything near to what I was expecting.
Basic vegan cooking? Look no further - here it is!

Hands down - Bryanna has become my all-time favourite cookbook writer, and I can recommend each and everyone of her books. Not only is this an excellent cookbook if you're new to vegan cooking - this is also a very low-fat cookbook, and you'll be surprised how tasty the results are. There's a thorough introduction to vegan basics - make your own dairy-free sour cream, yogurt, cream cheese, mayonnaise and more, plus recipes for "breast of tofu" ("tofu chicken-style") which is well worth keeping around in your fridge for quick meals, seitan "beef"-style, sauces and gravies ... starters, breakfast ideas, soups, salads, oven-baked entrees (Bryanna's lasagne is lovely!), top-of-the-stove entrees (check out her "Best-ever Tofu Burgers"!) - even low-fat desserts - you won't believe it! As with all Bryanna's cookbooks, she's bursting with ideas and variations on each side, you really get something for your money here! You should be aware that many of the recipes call for a food processor - so if you haven't already got one, get it! Many of the dinner recipes call for vegetable protein like textured soy protein, tofu, or seitan - and some vegetarians are offended by such meat alternatives. My own opinion is that if it saves the animals, if it's healthy, AND if it even tastes good - then why not? If you still object, you may want to try out Bryanna's new "Fiber For Life" cookbook instead which is much more concentrated on vegetables and grains. I find "The (Almost) No Fat Cookbook" a great cookbook for the basic vegan cuisine - buy her "Nonna's Italian Kitchen" too - this is nothing but a vegan masterpiece!
