 YUM! September 7, 2010

This book is worth it for the Chickpea Cutlets alone. They were really good. Even my husband and teenager loved them and they are really hard to please when it comes to vegetarian food. My 8 and 9 year old didn't care for them, but they are extremely picky. These would be really good on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo (like Vegenaise), and/or mustard. Next time, I'm gonna use vegan chicken flavored broth instead of vegetable broth for more of a chickeny flavor and add some cajun seasoning for a spicy "chicken" sandwich.
I served the cutlets with the Lemony Roasted Potatoes. They were good, but a bit too lemony for my family's tastes and I thought they could use some rosemary. Next time, I'll cut the lemon juice down by a couple tablespoons and add some rosemary.
The Fudgy Wudgy Blueberry Brownies are great, too. They were too tangy for the kids, but my husband and I really liked them. Oh, well. More for us!
One thing I did NOT care for was the foul language in the book which I find highly unprofessional. I've come across a few words so far and I just black them out with a marker. It would also be nice if the recipes had nutritional info. I kind of expect that from a book with a name like Veganomicon. So, if there is ever a revision, I say edit out the profanity and add nutritional info. :)
 Great even for omni's September 7, 2010

I purchased this book whilst doing research into cookbooks that focus primarily on vegetables. I stumbled across this book first. Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar: 100 Dairy-Free Recipes for Everyone's Favorite Treats Which prompted me to check out more by Isa Chandra Moskowitz.
This is probably one of my favourite cookbooks sitting on my shelf.
The ingredients are easy to find in your local supermarket and whole foods store. The recipes are concise and straightforward for ease of use. Her writing style is humorous without going overboard and the most important thing is the recipes themselves. Delicious. Pure and simple nutritious, filling meals and I am not even a vegan.
Whilst I will continue eating meat, I could see myself happily living a meatless life if push came to shove thanks in part to this book and the others by this author.
Five stars, well deserved.
Wonderful for Vegans and Omnivores alike! August 31, 2010

I have had this book for going on two years; never fails! Every recipe I have tried thus far has been quite good. As with any book they range from amazing to good....nevertheless, it has afforded me the opportunity to try many flavor combinations I would have not thought of in many instances. I appreciate that almost everything is made from scratch....though this also means that making a quick meal is difficult if prep work is not done prior. To note...there is a section highlighting dinners in under 45 minutes.
Great work!!! Definitely a vegan masterpiece. I have had many of my omnivore friends (some who say Veganism is a kind of extreme cult) love these dishes, and are suprised to hear they are vegan. Suprise others and yourself with some foodie fabulous vegan faire!
Great cookbook! August 25, 2010

I've had this cookbook for some time, but did not use it because it looked a little intimidating. That was a mistake, because this book is wonderful. The recipes are creative, fun to make, and taste excellent. There is a lot of useful hints to help speed up the process. I also love how it is broken up into quicker recipes and ones that take longer. Given the reliability of these authors, it's nice to know that if I spend money and time making a recipe it will be good. I've made a number of things and have favorites in each sections: sandwiches (the muffuletta), dressings (jalapeno corn gravy is soo good), entrees (BBQ collard rolls), desserts (double chocolate walnut). This book is my new go to book!
Awesome Cookbook!! August 10, 2010
Elise Cardwell (SD, CA USA)
This is such a great cookbook! The recipes are awesome and fun to make. I've made a few things for avid meat eaters and they all want the recipe because it's so damn good. Even my meat eating fiance is an at home vegan with help from this great book. I recommend to everyone, even people who just like good eats :)
