Best Cookbook I own

This cookbook is outstanding. My wife is a vegetarian and I make her dishes from this all the time. She has loved all of them.

Tasty but not healthy

Good cookbook for impressing non-vegans, eating for enjoyment, picking up some great techniques. Buy that gallon-sized can of olive oil tho, you'll need it for many of the recipes in here.

For those concerned with veganism for health: I wasn't impressed on the overall theme of the book. Lots of meat-substitutes, simple carbs, sugar, and frying -- things that often contradict the concept of eating vegan for health. This is a good supplemental book, and excellent for making comfort foods, but not one to base your diet on.

Vegan is easy

I decided to hit myself where it really hurt this lent and chose to give up dairy. To help me out, a friend lent me this cook book. I quickly ordered my own copy. I've been vegetarian for over a decade but had not discovered all the wonders of completely animal free cooking that this book showed me. The recipes are easy to follow, the tips are very informative, and everything I made was delicious (I HIGHLY recommend the spannikopita). The only thing that I would have liked to see was more pictures of the end products.

Vegan Vengeance

Great Book! I am not Vegan but many of my friends are and i just needed a book that would help me cook for them. But after looking through the new book i found a great collection of recipes and great information. I am VERY happy with my new cook book and suggest it to everyone! Eating healthy and natural is the best way to go. Vegan Vengeance is the best book to help anyone do just that!

Not so healthy...

Virtually all the recipes in this book contain soy--soy milk, soy yogurt, soy cream, soy sauce, tamari, tofu, miso. Baked goods call for refined sugars and/or grains. The author does have a cool, quirky personality but, sorry, that's not enough for me to keep this book. Simply too many ingredients with a big health question mark over them.

Product Description

In Vegan with a Vengeance, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, host of the community access vegan cooking show The Post Punk Kitchen, brings the do-it-yourself, community-driven ethos of punk rock into the kitchen. Her 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 staying clear of corporate brand-name foods, and says that cooking should be an innovative, experimental, and completely real experience. This one-of-a-kind cookbook offers 125 recipes for all meals of the day, from stuffed mushrooms to tofu pizza, gingerbread cupcakes to pasta with "alfreda sauce," and is full of tips and tricks on how to keep your diet vegan, inexpensive, and liberated.
