Description
Nothing short of brilliant! This isn’t just a beautiful vegan cookbook; it’s a resource guide that will help you excuse-proof your diet.” —Angela Liddon, author of The Oh She Glows Cookbook
 
Can’t imagine living without cheese? Convinced that dairy-free baked goods just don’t cut it? Hate the taste of tofu and not a fan of salads? EXCUSES, BE GONE!
Blogger-author extraordinaire Kristy Turner deliciously refutes every excuse you’ve ever heard with 125 vegan recipes for every meal of the day—including dessert!
 
  • “All those special ingredients are way more expensive.” Not when you can make your own Homemade Seitan, Barbecue Sauce, Zesty Ranch Dressing, and Tofu Sour Cream.
  • “I could never give up cheese!” You won’t miss it at all with Tempeh Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese with Pecan Parmesan, Tofu Chèvre, Citrus-Herb Roasted Beets with Macadamia Ricotta, or Mushroom Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
  • “What about brunch?” Chickpea Scramble Breakfast Tacos, Lemon Cornmeal Waffles with Blueberry Sauce, and Caramel Apple-Stuffed French Toast are vegan breakfasts of champions!
  • “My friends won’t want to come over for dinner.” They will when they get a taste of Carrot Cashew Pâté, Portobello Carpaccio, and Gnocchi alla Vodka.
  • “But I scream for ice cream!” Then you’ll shriek over Dark Chocolate Sorbet, Mango Lassi Ice Cream, and from-scratch Oatmeal Raisin Ice Cream Sandwiches.

  • If you’re a vegan newbie, vegetarian, or veg-curious omnivore, this book will banish your doubts. Even vegan pros will discover new tricks! Colorful photographs throughout will have you salivating over Kristy’s inventive, easy-to-follow recipes.

          Blogger/former fromagier Turner tackles vegan myths from the get-go with a table of contents featuring chapters such as "Tofu Doesn't Taste Like Anything"; "Vegan Cooking Is Too Hard"; "It's All Rabbit Food" and "You Can't Bake Without Butter or Eggs!" Comprised of 125 plant-based recipes, home cooks are given invaluable how-to's to get started with vegan cooking including how to make cashew cream, how to cook lentils and split peas, and how to press tofu. Recipes are broken down by numbered steps and include variations. Innovative veggie-for-meat-and-fish substitutions are made in dishes including Portobello Carpaccio, Jackfruit "Tuna" Salad Sandwich, Eggplant Meatball Subs with Spicy Marinara Sauce, and Beer-Battered Faux Fish and Chips. Indulgent desserts get their well-deserved space with a Flourless Chocolate Decadence Cake, Butterscotch Bread Pudding, and Molasses-Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse Tart with Coconut Whipped Cream. Full-color photography by Chris Miller adds to the title, making gift-worthy.

          December 1, 2014

          Blogger Turner (keepitkind.com) found lots of reasons to avoid a vegan diet. After all, how could a former fromagier ever consider giving up cheese? A growing awareness of farm animal welfare issues helped the author to eventually take the plunge, and she has no regrets. Turner organizes this work around all the reasons why folks say they "could never go vegan," refuting each with a handful of inventive recipes. For example, the "I could never give up cheese" excuse is combatted with such recipes as tofu chevre, citrus-roasted beets with macadamia ricotta, and balsamic baked pears stuffed with cashew blue cheese--all pretty tasty-sounding arguments. A mouthwatering photo accompanies almost every dish. The cooking techniques involved are not difficult, but many of the recipes have a lot of steps and require advance planning and a well-stocked pantry. Inexperienced cooks may find these recipes tempting yet daunting, and new vegans may want a book with more nutritional advice. Those caveats aside, Turner's book is both beautiful and inspiring. VERDICT Vegan foodies and foodies considering becoming vegan will be eager to break out their farro, sriracha, and liquid smoke, and have fun in the kitchen.--Jude Baldwin, Coll. of the Siskiyous, Weed, CA
