I have by no means tried out all the recipes in this book, but so far I appreciate the breadth and general simplicity of the dishes. The ones that have caught my eye don't call for fancy ingredients, making them cheaper and more accessible than the recipes I see in a lot of other vegetarian/vegan cookbooks. The index has been a great resource when I have a vegetable or other ingredient I need to use but don't know what to do with (especially good during the pandemic when I'm cooking more with what I have leftover/in the pantry instead of running out to the store for one or two things). And all of the recipes I've made so far have turned out tasty. My favorites are the desserts -- chai cookies and ginger-spice brownies in particular! ( )
I looked over this vegan cookbook that I borrowed from the library and thought it looked excellent. I only tried five recipes: Falafel Sandwiches, Tahini-Lemon Sauce, Coconut Pistachio Rice Pudding, and Roasted Vegetable Stromboli, and Basic Pizza Dough. We loved all the recipes, however, I spent way too long in the kitchen. The Roasted Vegetable Stromboli took 2 1/4 hours to make, including cleanup. My husband said it was the best vegan recipe I had ever made, but I won't make it again because I don't want to spend that long in the kitchen. Not sure if I'll buy the book or not. They do have a list of "quick recipes" in the book, so maybe it would be worth buying the book for those.
By the way, there is an interesting website where a retired woman who travels all over the country in her motor home is cooking through this book: "My Adventures Testing 1000 Vegan Recipes" http://testing-1000vr.blogspot.com/. That website alone made me more interested in buying the book. She tweaks all of the recipes to make them use whole grains with no added oils ("McDougall Friendly"). ( )
