Veganomicon is my favorite cookbook. |
|
Veganomicon is my favorite cookbook. I have the doorstop book version and I make something from it more than weekly. Spicy tempeh nori rolls, yuca tortillas, empanadas, seitan, chickpea cutletts and those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Just buy it. You won't regret it. |

Veganomicon Turns Cooking Back into the Pleasure it should Be |
I once only knew how to fry an egg. Then I went to Andalusia and my Spanish friends taught me all things culinary. Back then, I even ate sparrows and spent my afternoons curing fish and boiling pork bone. Fast forward into mid-life, I've changed my eating habits to be healthier and stay lean. In the years after returning to the US I lost interest in my imported cooking skills due to the lack of familiar Spanish food at the market, but especially because of the lack of tastiness in the typical American 30-minute meals.
Then this book reminded me what a pleasure it is to cook -- and eat. My "warning" to you is that it will take you about an hour at a time to prepare food. Well, what else do you do for an hour every day? Hang around after work for no reason? Sit in traffic? Visit the junk at Bed, Bath, and Beyond your Budget? Watch sitcoms? Make love to your Wii? Zombify on You Tube? Pump cortisol in chat rooms? Crash in a sugar coma? Hug the couch? Eat crap? If you really want to save up time for these things, the introduction shows you how to stock your kitchen with all the "complicated" ingredients criticized by the negative reviewer here. Once you do that, following this book is an easy and life-enriching routine. Fans of the book get that making a meal is an art that should be enjoyed and not minimized, which is precisely the attitude I missed leaving Spain. In the spirit of Mediterranean food, the premise of Veganomicon is that interesting ingredients, presentation, texture, and especially -- flavor -- is what makes vegan food -- and all food -- infinitely more satisfying. |

I disagree with the glowing reviews |
If this had been my first vegan cookbook I would have been very discouraged. I always notate how well I like a recipe after I try it, the first comment I made on a recipe in this book was "gross" the second was "unpalatable". I have found a couple of great recipes but not without eating many things that were just awful. I try to eat things anyway so as not to waste food but too many recipes were just unpalatable. I recommend Vegan Planet.

The Best Vegan Cook book to date! |
From the moment I saw this book at the Borders where I work I was intrigued...a huge compendium of completely vegan recipes?? I had to investigate further. After borrowing the book from my store about 8 times (yes you can do that if you actually work there...rent brand new books out! WOOOT!) I decided that yeah...it was worth the price tag. I couldn't get enough of it.
Everything I have made has been satisfying and delicious. Everything you ever needed is in here! Need a lasagna recipe...yup..it's here, along with a heavenly tofu-ricotta that is amazing in other things too... Need something extra special for a holiday dinner? Don't want your vegan friends to be left out of a delicious meal? The "quiche" in here is so decadent, it'll be the people eating the turkey who'll be jealous!
Seriously though, for a person just starting out on the vegan diet, not knowing how on earth to turn her faves into animal-friendly dishes, this is for you! Been a vegan for years and want to add some new recipes to the table? This is the book for you. Next to Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World...buying this book was the best decision I ever made. It's like the Vegan bible! Delish! Get it, cook stuff, enjoy....and share! Seriously, your non-veg friends/family will dig things in here too (PS Don't tell them it's vegan til' they've cleaned their plates....it's more fun that way!" |

strange recipes |
|
Too many very weird ingredients and strange unappetizing recipes. I am a long time experienced, good cook and have dozens of cook books, but I regret buying this book. I will likely not make a single dish from this book. The authors writing style is trying hard to be cutesy and ends up just being annoying. |
