A significant addition to any veg cookbook library!,
By
This review is from: Vegan Feasts (Paperback)
While it isn't difficult for vegans to modify most vegetarian recipes, it is nice not to have to. A quality vegan recipe book is important for those of us who don't use products from animals and who want diversity in our meals. Rose Elliot dispels many of the myths commonly associated with vegetarian and vegan diets. At the beginning of her book, Elliot deals with misconceptions that much of society has concerning protein, iron, calcium and vitamin B12. After putting the reader's mind to rest concerning these items, Elliot briefly states some of the benefits of vegetarian and vegan diets. The book has a variety of nutritious recipes in the following sections: Soups; Dips; Sandwiches and Bread-based Snacks; Salads, Dressings and Appetizers; Sauces; Pastry Dishes; Pasta Dishes; Legume Dishes; Grain and Nut Dishes; Potato Dishes; Desserts; and Scones, Cakes and Cookies.As with her book Vegetarian Christmas, Elliot's recipes are easy to prepare and sound delicious. Each recipe includes the number of servings it makes and many recipes include variations. A few of the recipes that I'm looking forward to trying are: Lentil Loaf, Stuffed Nut Roast, Instant Vegan Raspberry Ice, Christmas (plum) Pudding, Spring Rolls with Dipping Sauce, and Bread Sauce. Vegan Feasts is an excellent recipe book that will be a significant addition to any vegetarian's or vegan's cookbook library! -Reviewed by N. Glenn Perrett

Great desserts!,
By Annwen (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vegan Feasts (Paperback)
The thing that makes this book worth having is the dessert section. I haven't made many of the savory recipies as I can manage without a recipie book for those, the thing I think every vegan needs help on is puddings and sweet things. As a vegan I really miss things like 'steamed suryp pudding' and 'chocolate cheese cake' and 'rum truffles' - untill now. This book is great because it doesn't assume that because you're vegan you only want to eat low fat carob things, it gives great recipies using proper chocolate, vegan buiscits and vegan cream. This is heaven for those of you who really miss dairy desserts - you need never go without treats again!!
2.0 out of 5 stars
Very disappointing,
By
This review is from: Vegan Feasts (Paperback)
I've tried several recipes out of this book and have been very disappointed with the results. The 'Broccoli and almond quiche' is very oily and doesn't taste that great. The 'Lentil loaf' is just awful. The 'Couscous with chickpea stew' is okay, but doesn't give enough reason to buy this book.This book contains a lot of oily, deep-fry, margarine and sugar recipes. The writer is from the UK and the dishes remind me of some vegan food I tasted when I was over there. I hate to say anything negative about a vegan book (I'm a vegan myself), but this book just isn't good advertisement for veganism in my opinion.
