Kristen Suzanne's ULTIMATE Raw Vegan Hemp Recipes: Fast & Easy Raw Food Hemp Recipes for Delicious Soups, Salads, Dressings, Bread, Crackers, Butter, Spreads, Dips, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Desserts Review

I haven't been creative with my use of hemp seeds and hemp oil, so I was very excited to get Kristen's Hemp book. Up until now I've mainly used them in salad dressings and smoothies, so I was really excited to try some other things. I really love the Spicy Sweet Fitness Noodles! The Savory Protein Stuffed Mushrooms are soooo good. And the desserts are scrumptuous! I totally love the Superfood Hemp Cookies, too. Actually, all of the recipes I've made from Kristen's books have turned out fabulously! Of course the shakes and dressings are great and I especially love the cheezes and spreads. Another great book from Kristen and one I definitely use alot!

Vegan Soul Kitchen: Fresh, Healthy, and Creative African-American Cuisine Review

As a cook and food lover with a heart, my choice not to eat animals is the reason I became vegan. "Vegan Soul Kitchen" by Bryant Terry caught my eye for a couple reasons, the main one being that after moving to the South about 3 months ago, I decided that I'd learn to cook southern food. I was raised in Asia, and had absolutely no exposure to either Southern Food nor "soul food", however I loved the vegan soul food that I've had in Seattle over the past year. I was therefore, thrilled to see a recipe for "Open Faced BBQ Tempeh Sandwich with carrot-cayenne coleslaw" on page 12. The ingredients were readily available even here in the South (at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's) and the BBQ tempeh sandwich was absolutely delicious! The only thing that I did differently was to bake my own Focaccia bread, instead of buying it already prepared. The "Minimalist Survival Snack Mix" on page 44 is a great snack when you don't have time for a sit down breakfast, or as an alternative to "not so healthful" snacks sold at the grocery store. My favorite recipe so far is the "Sweet Cornmeal Coconut Butter Drop Biscuits" on page 158. And yes, the recipe is vegan and no "real butter" is used. It's still delicious though!! I can't wait to try the rest of the recipes in this amazing book.
Terry doesn't appear to be vegan anymore but he does know what he's talking about as he was vegan in college and knows all about the health benefits as well as compassionate reasons for being vegan, and this guy can cook! If not for the Gumbo poem on page 92 about sea creatures in a meal "... a mound of sea creatures, a crab leg reached over the lip ...", I'd have given this book 5 stars. I just thought it was an inappropriate poem for a vegan cookbook. You wouldn't throw in a poem about pork in a Muslim or Jewish cookbook now, would you ? Vegans and vegetarians, don't let that poem stop you from buying this book though. It's still a great cookbook for anyone who loves soul food, or anyone like me who now calls the south their home.

Big Vegan: More than 350 Recipes, No Meat/No Dairy All Delicious Review

After purchasing this over a week ago, this book is really capturing my heart. It relies on whole food ingredients, does use some of the more unusual ingredients without going overboard, so I feel like I'm stretching myself without being overwhelmed. Most of the recipes also feel simple, though I could imagine they might be overwhelming a touch for a novice cook. This is also a rather large compendium, much like 500 Vegan Recipes or 1000 Vegan Recipes, and it covers a variety of basics, but it doesn't spend too much time or space re-making a lot of the basic vegan dishes there are dozens of recipes for everywhere. Yes, there are some of those the author offer her spin on, but a greater percentage is offering recipes that seem like they should be vegan standbys already.
I've already made a recipe out of each one of the chapters; so far the French lentil soup, blueberry wild rice salad, pistachio tabbouleh with pomegranate, pita bread, and slow cooker farratto have been favorites of mine, and the apple-beet slaw has been a favorite of my husband. I'm looking forward to making Korean tacos with "instant" kim chee for dinner tomorrow.
If you're looking to cut back on oils, many of the recipes I've tried have held up well to reducing the amount of oil called for. If you're gluten free there are quite a few choices available. For a vegan looking to make more than just the newest macaroni and "cheese" dish however, this book offers a lot of new choices to try and while some may require a trip to Whole Foods or a global cuisines grocery, the technique, for the most part, isn't overly fussy for someone with moderate kitchen experience.

You Won't Believe It's Vegan: 200 Recipes for Simple and Delicious Animal-Free Cuisine Review

I just bought this, thinking that it was a new book of recipes; imagine my surprise when I read inside the book that it was the same book Lacey and Gail released a couple of years ago. As much as I love the recipes I do not require them in duplicate.
The recipes are wonderful, but I am disappointed in the fact that no where in the online book description was it written that the books were the same, simply with different titles and covers.

Authentic Chinese Cuisine Review

Bryanna's Italian cookbook "Nonna's Italian Kitchen" must be the very finest ever example of vegan cookbook published to this date. And now she's done it again - with this wonderful vegan cookbook on Chinese cuisine, taking you all the way through dumplings, dim sum, noodles, soups, stir-fries, ... and vegetarian "mock-meats" that were invented thousands of years ago by strict buddhist monks. Whereas it used to be quite a work to rinse out the starch of a flour ball so that only the protein (gluten) was left, the arrival of pure gluten powder makes this a snap to prepare at home. While some recipes are somewhat elaborate which acquire some routine (making dumplings, spring rolls, etc.), there are several quick recipes (stir-fry chapter a.o.) that are very easy to prepare. It is an excellent cookbook if you love chinese foods, and the innovative inclusion of above-mentioned "mock-meats" makes it a cut above the rest. The pages are jam-packed with one tasty recipe after the other - this is a shining example that you do not need to feel deprived when embarking on a vegan diet.

The Hippy Gourmet's Quick and Simple Cookbook for Healthy Eating Review

I haven't had the pleasure of viewing the PBS show, The Hippy Gourmet, where host Bruce Brennan travels the globe sampling local, healthy cuisines. However, I greatly enjoyed reading through this very approachable and entertaining cookbook, The Hippy Gourmet's Quick and Simple Guide for Healthful Eating, written by Brennan and producer James Ehrlich.
A wide variety of recipes are included encouraging the use of natural and organic foods, most ingredients which are easy to pick up at your farmer's market, grocery store, or natural foods store. Chapters cover everything from breakfast, to munchies, to grain and bean dishes, to desserts, and everything in between.
Scattered throughout the cookbook are informational tidbits on less well-known ingredients, such as mochi or hemp, various cooking techniques (including the simplicity of using a solar oven), and entertaining stories of the author's travels.
I've already eyed a few recipes to try soon, such as "Extra-Special Oatmeal," which broils a topping of fruit, nuts and brown sugar on an oatmeal base (yum!), and "Summer Squash and Tomato Gratin." I'm also going to investigate those solar ovens. Living in South Florida, where it's hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement 90% of the year, it seems like a perfect thing to have. Think of it ... I could bake even when the power goes out after a hurricane!
Armchair Interviews says: The Hippy Gourmet's Cookbook will be an entertaining, healthful, and appreciated addition to any cook's library.

Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Everyday Vegan Recipes Worth Celebrating Review

I should have written a review of this cookbook long ago, but I finally just put my fork down (literally) after eating another one of ED&BV's fabulous recipes and said, "People must know how great this cookbook is!" And here I am :)
What did I just finish? The White Bean, Walnut, and Spinach Phyllo Rolls with the Traditional Cranberry Sauce. This is the second time I have made it. It is unbelievable. So easy, but so elegant and delicious. That's how I characterize a lot of Dreena's recipes - easy, elegant, delicious. This book is full of uncomplicated recipes with easy to find ingredients (at least, for me - I have a decently stocked Stop & Shop, Shaw's Supermarket, Whole Foods, and health food store within a 15-mile radius). The results have all been spectacular. I've also made (and LOVED) the Olive Oyl Pasta, White Bean & Rosemary Soup with Jumbo Croutons (OMG amazing), Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto with Toasted Almonds and Pine Nuts, Sweet Potato Lentil Chili, Rosemary Cornmeal Polenta Fries, Lentil Veggie Chimichangas with Hide the Lentils Tomato Sauce, Coconut Lime Basmati Rice, Cashew-Ginger Tofu, Thai Chick-Un Pizza, Orange Sesame Tofu, Olive and Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus, Savory French Lentils, Cimmamon Lime Quinoa with Apricots and Almonds, One Wild Chick Soup (honestly, it is as savory and filling as the best chicken and rice soup you would have eaten in your "omni" days), Veggie Tempeh Muffaletta (I think I'm in love...probably the most time-consuming recipe in the book, but it is sooooooo worth it!), Beats a BLT Sandwich! (sure does!), Spicy Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew with Polenta Croutons, Cumin Lime Tofu, Autumn Puree, Smoky Split Pea Soup, Quinoa Chickpea Confetti Casserole, Moroccan-Infused Phyllo Rolls with Balsamic Maple Sauce (mmmmmmm so good!), and Monkey Minestrone. I literally cannot believe how many more of the recipes I want to try. I think I am going to try almost every single one in the book! Dreena makes everything seem so accessible. I'd never made anything with tempeh before (despite began a vegan for a while now!) but with her clear, step by step instructions and sidebars, Dreena makes vegan cooking approachable for everyone, vegans and omnis alike. I can tell you, I have not even come close to using as many recipes in my other vegan cookbooks as I have with ED&BV. Let me be frank... I own several vegan cookbooks...all the major titles by all the major vegan cookbook authors...and this is, by FAR, the best of the bunch. If you own one vegan cookbook, make it ED&BV. You won't regret it!
