Viva Vegan!
200 authentic and fabulous recipes for Latin food lovers
by Terry Hope Romero

Having traveled extensively in Central America, I've spent a lot of time looking longingly at meat-filled papusas, tamales, tacos, and empanadas, wishing there were vegetarian alternatives. Even refried beans are normally made with lard, so I've never eaten much traditional Latin American food. All that changed with Viva Vegan!

After extensive pointers on basic vegan and Latin ingredients as well as essential kitchen tools, the recipes are divided into 14 chapters:

1. A few essential Latino vegan recipes
2. Salsas and condiementos
3. Bocadillos, snacks, and appetizers
4. Ensaladas
5. Beans and rice, los dos amigos
6. Vegan asado: tofu, tempeh, and seitan
7. Complete your plate: vegetables, plantains, and grains
8. One-pot stews, casseroles, and cazuelas
9. Super fantástico Latin soup
10. For the love of corn: arepas, pupusas, tortillas, and more
11. You, too, can tamale
12. Empanadas
13. Drinks
14. Desserts and sweets

Once you've made some chorizo sausages out of seitan, you can use them for tacos, papusas, and all kinds of soups and stews. Cook some corn or flour tortillas and top them with veggies, roll them into burritos, or serve alongside rice, beans, and fried plantains. Viva Vegan! offers recipes to make everything from scratch, from appetizers to drinks to desserts - it's ¡muy excelente! I just wish there were more color photos, because they are stunning.
