What Others Say
excellent!
Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Great Vegan Food for Special and Everyday Celebrations is great. Many delicious vegan recipes! Also, much easier than most recipes, simple. Delicious.
I've got a hand blender and I'm not afraid to use it!
I received ED&BV for my birthday last month. It wasn't even on my wish list but it caught my stepdaughter's attention and I'm thrilled that it did! I've made about 7 or 8 of the recipes so far and they've all ranged from "Huh, that's pretty darn good" to "HOLY SMOKES! That's the most insanely delicious thing I've ever tasted!!!" (If you want an example of the latter, make the Rawesome Dip. It will blow your mind. You've been warned.) A BIG bonus for me: I also got an immersion blender for my birthday, and ED&BV provides a ton of opportunities for me to use it.
Pros:
--The notes in the margin are extremely helpful and detailed, and offer great ideas for variations, serving suggestions, etc.
--The recipes are ... Read More
My Favorite Cookbook
This is my go-to cookbook when I want something I know I will enjoy. I feel like Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Great Vegan Food for Special and Everyday Celebrations was meant just for me. Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Great Vegan Food for Special and Everyday Celebrations uses limited wheat, refined sweetners and plenty of sweet potatoes, tempeh, quickpeas, chocolate - all my favorite foods wrapped in a cute, colorful and modern looking little book. I have never made anything I didn't enjoy from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Great Vegan Food for Special and Everyday Celebrations but here are my favorites with recommendations:
Hemp-anola: This is way better and healthier than any granola you could buy at Whole Foods. I use quinoa flakes instead of barley flakes and a little extra blackstrap molasses and leave the nuts out (I feel like the hemp seed nuts are a lot) and serve with lots of blueberries or bananas and vanilla hemp or soymilk!

Just what we've searched for!
Since our family has egg, milk and other food allergies, we have searched for a very long time for a cookbook of this caliber. Although we are not vegan, we were thrilled to see the many recipes that would allow us a wide
variety of yummy foods without knocking ourselves silly to find the ingredients!
I would recommend Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Great Vegan Food for Special and Everyday Celebrations to anyone who is searching for TRULY healthy recipes and/or who wants to cook & bake without using eggs!

Delish! We love Dreena!
Not the most extensive review but I wanted to add my 5 stars to Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Great Vegan Food for Special and Everyday Celebrations's review. I made the Sweet & Sour Chipolte Tempeh with Sweet Potatoes tonight and it was amazing! I have all of Dreena's books and have found many additions for The Rotation though that rotation is getting pretty wide... :o) Thanks Dreena for all your delicious recipes and thoughtful insights. Best from NC!
