Description

There are many great reasons to eat vegetarian meals --  they're low in saturated fat, high in fiber, and chock-full 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. In The Voluptuous Vegan, Myra Kornfeld introduces creative, mouthwatering, truly voluptuous recipes that inject this incredibly healthy cuisine with a much-needed dose of culinary mastery, including: * show more full, balanced menus with appetizer, main course, and side dishes * a luscious array of soups and an ingenious selection of desserts * invaluable information on terms, ingredients, and techniques * a culinary world tour including Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle Fast, as well as Europe and the United States show less

This is a really great cookbook, although I regrettably no longer own a copy. I do have printouts of some of my favorites, though. Some of the recipes are a bit fancy, but always worth the extra effort when you sit down to eat. I use her pumpkin pie recipe around the holidays, as well as her cranberry sauce recipe. Other favorites include the ginger-baked tofu, millet corn croquettes, and smoky black bean sauce.
Hm. I can't be objective right now as I've been reading too many recipe and craft books lately. And realizing that no matter how carefully I vet the things that I want to try, I probably never will actually make the time to do so. I skimmed introductions, skipped soup and dessert. This is probably a pretty good book, but all I can really share atm is a list of recipes that appeal, that are accomplishable:

Roasted potato batons
Baked tofu triangles
Cucumber raita
Roasted chickpea 'nuts'
Spaghetti squash with sofrito
Garlic braised broccoli
Ginger baked tofu.

(What I really want is for her to cook for me... :)

The peach blueberry pie recipe is worth the price of the book. It's that good.
