How It All Vegan!: Irresistible Recipes for an Animal-Free Diet

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.

The first book by the two friends who eventually went their separate ways. My main complaint with this book is that I don't think they tested the recipes enough. Expect a lot of quirks and use your cooking good sense when making these recipes. There are a lot of good recipes but also much room for error. In my opinion, the second book How It All Vegan is much better and more professional.

This cookbook completely makes me understand the average what-I'm-eating-ignorant, pig-eyeballs-shaped-like-hot-dogs-devouring, colon-clogged Meat Patriot's aversion to "hippie food." The simple fact is that most vegans can't cook, don't know good food when they taste it, and are almost immoral in their earnest, manic attempts to get the handful of vegans who appreciate good food and can cook it to resignedly spoon gobs of miscalculated recipes past our sophisticated, offended taste buds and down to our protesting stomachs, which will later not manage to convert "Better Than (insert name of dairy product here)" into nerves, sinew and tissue, but only knots of searing gas. This book's recipes, with very few exceptions, are either show more disgusting, bland, or simply don't turn out when put into practice. Much more can be learned from befriending one good vegan foodie (check for good body odor, cleanliness of feet, and a knack of knowing which curry take-out places won't make one ill) than slaving over food processors with any one of dozens of these sorts of cutesy recipe collections propped up on your kitchen counter. show less

Great for vegetarians just starting to dable into vegan cooking. The recipes are simple and tastey. I especially love all the different replacements for non-vegan items (i.e. eggs) and the dry herb to fresh herb measurement converter.

Great first vegan cookbook. Lots of recipes for "omni" substitutes--sloppy joes, mac n' cheese...everything is excellent and very easy to make.

This seems kind of disappointig up to now. I'm planning to work through it, maybe I'm just underestimating it… Too many things that don't work as they should (flax eggs. they're just as disgusting in anything you might want to use them for as the first thought on "flax eggs" suggests.), and all that soy cheese and other replacement stuff, that's not quite my style.

Great book... fun to read with yummy, simple recipes
