Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

To appreciate this quirky vegan cookbook, readers must welcome the author's offhand, rambling style. A chatty Brooklynite who hosts her own public access cooking show, she scatters stories about her mother, her friends and her politics among recipes for goodies like Fresh Corn Fritters and Curried Split Pea Soup. In one anecdote, she writes that her mother liked the scones from "one of those overpriced French cafes in Union Square," prompting the author to create Glazed Orange scones in her mother's honor, and the sweet, rich result rivals the average "overpriced café" model. BBQ Pomegranate Tofu is actually baked, not barbecued, but still the tofu is rich and smoky, terrific over rice or packed into heroes. Even better, the vegan iterations of Spanakopita and Seitan-Portobello Stroganoff so closely approximate the traditional versions that even the pickiest eaters would happily trade one for the other. And although there's no chicken broth in Matzoh Ball Soup, the vegetable stock is hearty enough to cure the fiercest cold. Best of all, and rare in a vegan cookbook, the author provides several appealing dairy-free desserts that are tasty enough to fool most omnivores, yet unique enough to thrill any vegan who just can't face another tofu ice cream bar.

Product Description

Vegans have often been misunderstood or treated with suspicion because of their beliefs. Now, this strict form of vegetarianism is attracting thousands of new adherents both young and old and it has now become socially accepted as more people learn the health risks of eating too much meat and the benefits both to themselves and the planet of a plant-based diet. "Vegan with a Vengeance" is a vegan cookbook for the 21st century. It is the creation of Isa Chandra Moskowitz, co-host of the hugely successful TV vegan cookery show in the US called "The Post Punk Kitchen". Isa's cooking philosophy embraces being kind to animals (all recipes are completely animal-product free) and your wallet - while being creative and having fun in the process. She emphasizes fresh ingredients and says that, like good music, cooking is best when it's innovative and experimental. Her inspired recipes - covering all the meals for the day are influenced by dishes from around the world that include: Asparagus and Sun-dried Tomato Frittata, Sweet Potato Hash with Five-Spice and Watercress, White Bean and Roasted Garlic Soup, Fresh mango Summer Rolls, Ginger Roasted Winter Vegetables, Cold Udon Noodles with Peanut Sauce, Raspberry and Chocolate Chip Blondie Bars and Lemon Gem Cupcakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious!, Aug 31 2006
By S. Wise "Veggie Chick" (Ottawa, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first borrowed this book from the library, and upon trying a few recipes, I had to buy a copy of my own! So far, I have made:
* Fronch Toast (Waaayyy better than any tofu or banana substitution for the real thing)
* The Best Pumpkin Muffins Ever (they certainly live up to their name)
* Asparagus and Sun-Dried Tomato Frittata (I followed one of the author's variations and it was great!)
* Gigantoid Peanut Butter Cookies (OMG - I substituted whole wheat flour to make these even more nutritious!)
* Seitan (this turned out great - I'm making the Jerk Seitan tonight!)

Only a couple of quips, but nothing worth giving anything less than a 5-star rating...I found that there was a little too much oil in the baked goods, but I substituted applesauce for most of the oil and the recipes still turned out great. There also isn't any nutritional data for each recipe.

Better get back to making more recipes! I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for simple vegan recipes that are pretty normal, and that can be shared with meat-eaters who usually snub vegan food.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, July 4 2008
By claudis (Canada) - See all my reviews
This book is great even if you're not a vegan. I'm a vegetarian contemplating veganism, my husband eats meat, and I do all the cooking. I'm not so accomodating that I'll make 2 separate meals, so I have to cook dinners that will keep us both happy. I've made a couple of Isa's recipes with great success and praise from my husband. The Chile sin Carne al Mole was fabulous! My only complaint is that I wish the book was hard cover as I know that I'll use it to death and it will get wrecked...other than that great book with all sorts of different influences and world flavours. I can't wait to try out more!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent cookbook for anyone that is already comfortable in the kitchen, Sep 6 2007
By luna "herbivore" (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
I absolutely love this cookbook. That being said I can see how the recipes could be a little intimidating to someone who doesn't really cook much already as they often contain lots of ingredients and steps. But never fear! If you can get over the fear of a three page recipe you will go to vegan places you have never been before. This is the cookbook that finally, finally taught me how to prepare tofu properly, make my own seitan, and actually pair dishes to make an awesome meal. Even my omni spouse loves the things I make from this cookbook!
