Veganomicon: Vegan Cookbook Review

If you can only afford one vegan cookbook, then buy Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. All of the recipes have been kitchen tested, so you know the recipes will be easy to make and delicious. This is a great book if you want to learn to cook vegan food or improve your skills. We started using Menus for the Masses on page 266 for ideas for the Bucks County Vegan Supper Club. This is an easy way to get started on planning a meal. Veganomicon’s... Read More

Review & Give-away: Spork-Fed and Nasoya

After I posted the review on Nasoya’s Super Firm Tofu, Nasoya contacted me with the fun offer to review the Spork-Fed cookbook and to do a give-away (see below) for our readers. Who could pass that up? I’ve been a huge fan of Jenny Engel and Heather Goldberg since they first started their Spork Foods online cooking classes and couldn’t wait to try some of the recipes in their cookbook.   Spork-Fed Cookbook Review I’m always pleasantly surprised when... Read More

Review: Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats Cookbook

The From A to Vegan crew met new cookbook author Allyson Kramerby chance this past March when we met Christy Morgan, aka the Blissful Chef, on her east coast cookbook tour. Christy was staying with Allyson and they both came out to meet us for brunch and an interview. I was delighted to find out that Allyson was the author of one of my favorite blogs, Manifest Vegan and that she would be coming out with her own cookbook. Well, here it is: Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats! Allyson’s... Read More

Review: The New Fast Food Cookbook

How many people do you know own a pressure cooker? I have a lot of foodie friends here in PA and inevitably we always talk about food, food storage, what’s in season, where to get this, how to make that, and all of the gadgets we own and use and how we use them. In all these years I haven’t run into a single one of my American friends that owns a pressure cooker (most of my Brazilian friends do, though). I know quite a few people that own a pressure canner but not... Read More

Review: Blissful Bites Cookbook

Not so Indian Indian Pizza with tofu feta Every time I pick up a new vegan cookbook and start trying recipes I think “wow, this is my new favorite cookbook”. Thank goodness we have so many great vegan cookbooks to choose from. It seems that there’s at least one new book coming out each month. Blissful Bites by Christy Morgan, aka The Blissful Chef, is one of these books. I picked it up, flipped through it and fell in love. The book is full-color, with beautiful... Read More

Review: Vegan Family Meals Cookbook

Roasted tomato soup At least for me, Ann Gentry’s Vegan Family Meals, real food for everyone is not just another vegan cookbook, it’s another great cookbook if you’re looking to take your cooking skills to the next level, without going ultra-gourmet. Quick-cook recipe books are great for busy week nights, but since I love dishes with complex flavors this book has really won my heart. It’s currently one of my favorites in my personal library. I haven’t... Read More
