Vegan Cookbook Review
Vegan Brunch: Homestyle recipes worth waking up for
by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

As far as I'm concerned, brunch is the most important meal of the day, and with a cookbook like this, there's no need to limit it to Sundays. Vegan Brunch offers a wealth of recipes, from classic to outrageous, and I've yet to try one that isn't fantastic.
 

Brunch staples

A good brunch will always have omelettes or some other "eggy" dish, so right away that makes it tricky for vegans. Ms. Moskowitz's vegan omelette recipe, made with tofu and chickpea flour, is by far the best fake egg dish I've ever eaten. It's good plain, it's even better with one of her variety of suggested fillings. The mock sausages and bacon, too, are excellent.

Other classic brunch fare that is already vegan or close to it is also included, in both traditional and unusual varieties: chocolate beer waffles, tomato rosemary scones, coconut and mango muffins, pumpkin pancakes... I could go on, but my stomach is growling as it is.

In addition to all the great recipes, the author includes useful tips and humorous asides throughout, making this one of those rare cookbooks that is (almost) as much fun to read as it is to use.

If you're a brunch lover and are ready to move beyond home fries and English muffins (although recipes for both are included), Vegan Brunch is your ticket to a delicious, animal-free meal.
