What Others Say
Wonderful Cookbook!
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian (but I don't each much meat or dairy,) but I love this cookbook!
The book is wonderful--entertaining, educational and, most importantly, it is filled with glorious and interesting recipes with flavors from around the world.
Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook is great for beginning and advanced vegan cooks. For beginners, the book includes basics for what food to stock in your pantry, kitchen equipment, cooking and prepping terminology. The book also includes a helpful section on how to prepare vegetables, grains and beans by grilling, roasting and steaming.
The recipes are the crux of the book and they are great! Full of flavor dishes like portobella salad with spicy mustard dressing, tomato rice soup ... Read More
Vegan or Not, Try this cookbook!
When we purchased this cookbook, my wife was a vegetarian, and I was your standard omnivore. I do all the cooking in the house, and thought I would purchase Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook to expand our horizons. Wow, great recipes, very detailed instructions and some valuable basic cooking information that has been helpful in developing my skills in the kitchen. Since buying the book, I am now a devoted vegetarian and have not looked back. We use the book for basic recipe structure, and then either leave the recipe as vegan or add some extra items that render it vegetarian. Either way, amazing! Give the book a shot, you won't regret it.
For gourmet vegans only
I was disappointed, primarily because I'm a new Vegan, and a busy mom. If I was young, single and hip (and living in New York City) I would probably have loved Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook. I did get some great information from the first few chapters about Vegan staples and how to prepare vegetables, etc. The book also provides some good background information about "alternative" grains like millet and quinoa. Other than that I've made 1 recipe. This is gourmet cooking for the long time Vegan who's looking to add some variety or wants to cook for other people and impress them with amazing dishes. In fairness, it looks like many of the dishes would be fantastic is that's what you're looking for. Be prepared to visit several specialty stores (again, fine if you're ... Read More
Eat this -- you'll like it
I've had Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for a couple of weeks, and I kept flipping through it, unsure of what to make. I'm a vegetarian, but not a vegan, and this is my first vegan cookbook. Perhaps subsequently, it was the first time I realized that you can actually *make* seitan, as opposed to buying it. Once I saw that, I ordered the few ingredients necessary to make it, and then purchased the other ingredients needed to complete the seitan picatta recipe. I spent three hours last night making first the seitan, and then the seitan picatta. Some might say that's too time consuming, but I enjoyed the process. Also, it wouldn't have taken nearly as long if I'd made the seitan ahead of time.
Anyway, I don't know what made me pick picatta as the first recipe ... Read More
