Vegan cookbook review

The Everything Vegan Cookbook offers information and a variety of recipes for new vegans, or anyone interested in cutting down on their meat, dairy, and egg consumption. The first chapter, The Vegan Revolution, explains the benefits – both personal and global – of a vegan diet. It also talks about vegan nutrition, including the ever-present "protein combining" myth, and tips on creating tasty meals. Next come a dozen chapters featuring 300 recipes:

  1. Appetizers, Sauces, and Dips – avocado-mushroom pot stickers, nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread), vegan French onion dip…
     
  2. Vegan Breakfasts – cereal bars, vanilla flax granola, whole wheat blueberry muffins…
     
  3. Salads and Salad Dressings – two-bean salad, apple coleslaw, vegan ranch dressing…
     
  4. Soups – cream of asparagus, shiitake and garlic broth, super "meaty" chili…
     
  5. Vegetables, Stir-Fries, and Sides – Cajun collard greens, orange-ginger stir-fry, green bean amandine…
     
  6. Rice EntrĂ©es and Sides – Italian white beans and rice, sun-dried tomato risotto, "cheesy" broccoli and rice casserole…
     
  7. Classic Pastas – eggplant puttanesca, gnocchi with walnut parsley sauce, pad Thai noodles…
     
  8. Whole Grains – millet and butternut squash casserole, quinoa-herb stuffing, "beef" and barley stew…
     
  9. Miscellaneous Mains – polenta and chili casserole, tofu and portobello enchiladas, pumpkin and lentil curry…

  12. Delicious Desserts – chocolate mocha ice cream, pineapple-cherry dump cake, oatmeal raisin cookies…
