Better than its predecessor, this book finds Barnard and Kramer reaching out to their friends and readers for additional recipes. Clearly this book also went through more rigorous testing than the first one, as I ran into far fewer quirks in the recipes. The one oddity I came across was a sudden penchant for using olive oil in almost every recipe calling for oil. Needless to say, I did not follow this trend. Includes Maureen's sacred coffee cake recipe and many, many other winners. Highly show more recommended. show less

I don't use many of the recipes in this book (partly because I have some dietary restrictions that prevent it), the ones I do use, I use regularly and love.

The carrot-ginger soup recipe in here is one I eat almost weekly. Plus, it was such a hit at a dinner party I had one of my friends made it for a dinner party he had.

I regularly make the berry muffin recipe in this book and it's excellent (although I substitute a different berry for the blueberries).

I highly recommend this book to show more anybody interested in vegan/vegetarian cooking. show less

Have you or you loved one’s been affected by the “Thanksgiving Day Dilemma?” By tradition Thanksgiving is a meat-centered day. However, while most Americans celebrate the holiday many hosts or guests, do not eat meat. Hence, millions of hosts or guests are experiencing the Thanksgiving Day Dilemma of what to serve, or bring, to accommodate all palates.

Coming to the rescue of vegan challenged cooks everywhere is How it all Vegan the 10th anniversary edition by Tanya Barnard and Sarah show more Kramer. How it All Vegan solves the Thanksgiving Day Dilemma with seasonally appropriate recipes, including, Tofurky, Roasted Garlic Potatoes, Perfect Pumpkin Pie and many more. The recipes are comprised of everyday ingredients and are simple enough for even the most inexperienced of cooks.

How it all Vegan is part vegan cookbook and part primer for living the vegan life. However, while the authors are passionate about their life style they are not preachy or part of what they call the “Vegan Police.” Rather they simply explain the why and how of their conversions. Their non-judgmental writing style is what makes this book accessible to vegans and non-vegans alike. Eaters of all palates will enjoy mouthwatering fare such as Classic Spinach Lasagna, Butternut Tomato Soup, Raspberry Cornmeal Muffins, and Peppermint Patties (that look like York Peppermint Patties on steroids!).

Whether you’re going vegan for a meal, a month, or for life How it all Vegan is an invaluable resource!

We sell pancakes made from their recipe every day at my restaurant. Totally great, fun, imaginative. Absolutely a must for vegans, in my opinion. Their free thinking ways inspire me to think way outside of the box when it comes to vegan cookery. They make vegan food not only not punitive but in many ways preferable.
