Holy crap amazing, yummy animalfree recipes that are rich and delicate, complex and nourishing, I also love the layout, This was a Christmas present from 'and I have only followed a handful of recipes, Okay, I will be more diligent in cooking once in my new place, Better review coming in the next few months, These recipes are indeed voluptuous they lean a bit towards the "foodie" but not too obnoxiously, Some of these are much more trouble than I would go to to fix food, and as usual the recipes are FAR too heavy on the garlic.
On balance, though, this book goes a long way towards unseating the idea that vegans live on sticks and rocks rather than anything a normal person would want to eat.
This recipe book had many delicious looking vegan meals, I appreciated that it had diagrams of how to cut certain fruits and veggies, Unfortunately most of the recipes require a list of ingredients and I am gravitating towards simpler recipes, So far the introduction grabs me in with phrases like "we all need to feed our souls" which is the first line, We start at the grocery store, natural food or organic foods is good for the body, Green markets which I will be researching for those again,

"splash love into your food" and ready to see what ideas I can use in my new lifestyle and way of eating.
I've read various books on raw diets, vegan, vegetarian, and some of the shakes or foods I've tried were mediocre or pretty good, I don't like bland or not so good foods, no matter what diet I follow, I'm about flavor when I cook! Easy and affordable too,

Sadly, the homemade recipes seemed a bit difficult since I don't do pies homemade per se and nothing sounded interesting or good to cook.
I liked some of the ideas for ice cream but not familiar with arrowhead powder and not sure how it will come out, I'll just go get soy ice cream at a whole food store like Trader Joe's or Outpost Milwaukee, WI/Glendale, This is one of my most used cookbooks, The simplier veggie recipes make great side dishes plus it taught me to cook with tofu, These recipes are high fancy, lots of crazy ingredients that I don't have the specialty storesmoneyinterest for, Some interesting ideas, but I wouldn't buy this book, Vegan or not, this book contains some of the most delicious recipes I've ever come across, The peach blueberry pie is a summer favorite!

it has an entire meal dessert likerecipes planned out for you, I'm not a vegan and have been recently honing my steak cooking skills for my partner but several of my favorite recipes come from this cookbook.
The recipes are less involved than the appear though I don't usually try a new one on a weeknight, I've made several recipes from this book, and while they were good, the time invested in making them just didn't make it worthwhile, And I'm

not someone who completely shies away from complicated recipes, it's just to put that much effort it, the results have to be awesome.


I don't think this is for the beginner cook at all, Lots of instruction and lots of ingredients that aren't socalled "everyday", Delicious but no pictures. I hate that so much,
Also, this is not a novice's cookbook, Most of it is fairly complicated and some recipes require hard to find ingredients, Kornfeld provides sample menus, which is something I really like, Overall this is a great book for planning special events or making a meal that will surely be remembered because of it's tastiness and the effort it took to make timeconsuming recipes, fantastic results! I like the idea of this book, but I rarely use it because of the use of expensive and hard to find ingredients.
I love the layout of the recipes, they are arranged in menus, with an appetizer, main dish, side dish and dessert, It's a nice change from the usual, I have had lots of luck with the leek tofu quiche with sauteed mushrooms, wow! So very tasty, If you are not a vegan, and not really interested in meat substitutes, this is the vegan cookbook for you, The focus in this book is on really incredible tasting food that uses vegetables and spices from a variety of ethnic cooking traditions, It contains a glossary that has been indispensable to me, and every procedure is explained in detail,

The ingredients are best purchased at stores that cater to the recipe's particular cuisine Asian, Indian, Latino, or you will end up being frustrated at the prices and the difficulty at finding ingredients.
Natural foods stores are often suggested, but if you're on a budget, and if you are buying something that seems unusual like bok choy or serrano chiles, you will notice that the correct store will peddle such a bulk of these items that you will end up being pleasantly surprised at the prices.


Also, I probably wouldn't use this as an everyday cookbook, unless you really have time to cook every day, or you get really accustomed to the more advanced recipes.
It's worth checking it out though, even if you're a beginner, you will learn things about not just vegan cuisine, but cooking in general.
presents complete, themed menus and desserts, expensive and exotic ingredients. offers excellent instructions and illustrations about all those sophisto culinary terms and techniques, good for kitchen morons such as myself, a good cookbook to have on hand for for fancypant affairs, A great collection of recipes for the vegan or vegcurious cook, The only downside is that it is a remnant of an older cookbook era, and there are no photos! I would love to see a photographed reprint.
Some of these recipes are really difficult, but i am comfortable making adjustments, and can get all the prep time down to an hour.
I find these recipes super inspirational, Everything in this book sounds really delicious and I really love Kornfeld's other recipes that I've tried, but these all sound incredibly time consuming so I haven't really used it at all but I hope to, sometime in the future when I have lots of time to cook! I borrowed this book to plan vegan holiday dishes and haven't yet tried out the recipes yet but so many look delicious.
There are bookmarks on every other page, I particularly like that the author puts together menus with several dishes and tips about timing and preparation, There are many great reasons to eat vegetarian meals   they're low in saturated fat, high in fiber, and chockfull of nutrients, But the considerable health benefits aside, gourmets often scoff at the likes of seitan and tofu, while vegans despair of dull, uninspired offerings, Until now.
