A decent intro book, but not particularly useful for an established vegan.

The problem is, this is about the 13th vegan cookbook I’ve cooked my way through now and these recipes are nothing more than average. The baking recipes were good though.

While there aren’t too many recipes I can actually make and eat in this book (contains a lot of gluten and soy), I absolutely LOVED reading about why each recipe works! There’s some science to these ingredients and I thought it was so helpful to read their “testing notes” for some of these recipes. For example, they break down the use of different dairy-free milks and the flavor/texture they bring in a certain recipe. You can tell they put a lot of work into creating these recipes to bring you the optimal outcome.

We did make the Chickpea Noodle Soup and it was fantastic!! Super fast to make, full of flavor, and really hearty + comforting. We did use a gluten-free pasta instead and the noodles held up really well. I’ve got a few more recipes bookmarked to try!

The science behind vegan cooking

Borrowed the ebook from the library and decided to buy the hardcover version, even though I just got rid of 75% of my cookbooks.

I love that they approach cooking like I do, which is with scientific curiosity. What works better? How can I improve this?

I want to cook my way through every single recipe in here. Well, technically every recipe but one, but that’s because I don’t like peanut butter cookies ;)

Love how they explain why each recipe works without the "traditional" ingredients and great photos throughout.

I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I like and have used this cookbook over the past few years. It was a birthday present for my fiance. I told him I would make whichever recipes he chose for a special dinner. All of the recipes we've tried so far have been winners, including Marinated Cauliflower with Chickpeas and Saffron, Freekeh Salad with Butternut Squash, Walnuts, and Raisins, Quinoa, Black Bean, and Mango Salad with Lime Dressing, and for dessert Pecan Pie.
