This review is from: The Tropical Vegan Kitchen: Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Dishes from the Tropics (Paperback)
I had another Donna Klein book that I loved so I ordered this one. The recipes are easy and SOOOOO flavourful! She uses lots of chiles, herbs, tropical fruits and nuts, coconut milk, etc... With recipes from the tropical regions of each continents (ex: the caraibes, africa, australia, south-East asia, etc) No animal products but all the bang of tastiness!

This review is from: The Tropical Vegan Kitchen: Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Dishes from the Tropics (Paperback)
I bought this book recently, and so far I have tried three recipes. They work, and they are delicious. I would recommend the book very strongly. I think I will buy more of this author's books.I tried the thai corn chowder, and the thai hot and sour soup, and the banana pancakes, and loved each recipe.

Great book whether you are vegan or not!,
By T. Winters - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Tropical Vegan Kitchen: Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Dishes from the Tropics (Paperback)
I love this book, as well as Donna Klein's other books, "Vegan Italiano" and "The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen." My son is allergic to dairy, soy, eggs, and beef, and we try not to eat too much meat, so these books have been great! "The Tropical Vegan Kitchen" does have some recipes with soy in them because it includes the tropical regions of Asia, but there are also plenty of soy-free recipes as well. So many vegan cookbooks just tell you how to use soy to pretend you are eating meat. Klein's books have real recipes that are healthy, tasty, easy to make and use ingredients you already have if you frequent the produce section or farmer's market.

Wish There Were More,
By Voice_of_Reason "Voice_of_Reason" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Tropical Vegan Kitchen: Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Dishes from the Tropics (Paperback)
This cookbook contains many great recipes! So far, I've tried Caribbean-Style Potato Vegetable Curry, Thai Pumpkin Curry (yes, I like curry), and African Beans and Potatoes. All three recipes were easy to follow and turned out great. Nutritional information appears at the end of each recipe. For uncommon ingredients, Klein suggests where you might find them, although I haven't had to go out of my way yet. One thing I find odd, though, is there are only 225 recipes - this book is a bit thin, and there isn't as much variety as you'd think there could be. For Klein's Mediterranean recipe book, for which she had fewer countries to work with, she came up with over 300 recipes. Pages 10-12 of the "Tropical Vegan Kitchen" list around 100 tropical countries, yet they merit 25% fewer recipes than her other regional cookbook. I wish there were more recipes here, or at least fewer Thai recipes (the most common country of origin in this book), which would have left more room for recipes from Haiti, Borneo, or Suriname.

Tasty and simple,

This review is from: The Tropical Vegan Kitchen: Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Dishes from the Tropics (Paperback)
I am not a vegan but I simply love this book! I do, actually, live in the tropics so the ingredients are fresh and readily available. Either way, however, I feel that she does not use extravagant ingredients as I have found in other vegetarian/vegan cookbooks. Even if you do not live in this climate, you can find all of these ingredients in most grocery stores.The recipes are simple and tasty. I sometimes do change a few of the recipes or add a bit more to them but this is more personal preference than a necessity. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to add a bit more spunk to their daily diet. If you like tropical fruit, trying new things and a variety of cuisines..then you will enjoy this book. |
