eberico 's review for:
Vegan with a Vengeance: Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock
by Isa Chandra Moskowitz
I didn't think it fair to rate this book, as I neither finished reading it nor made recipes from it. My fiance and I are both enthusiastic omnivores, but are looking for new ways of incorporating veggie protein in our diet in order to diversify, save money, and be planet friendly. This cookbook came highly recommended, but as with [b:Veganomicon The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook|1059680|Veganomicon The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook|Isa Chandra Moskowitz|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ZzKQj44EL._SL75_.jpg|1046261], I was underwhelmed. A number of the recipes looked interesting, but required enough specialty ingredients in place of meat/dairy to be off-putting. The entrees sounded good, but not particularly unique. The over-the-top punk vegan righteousness was a bit much as well - I guess that's to be expected from a book with VENGEANCE in the title - but as an omnivore, I really appreciate tolerance and understanding among my vegan friends about my eating and lifestyle choices, just as I try to express tolerance and understanding towards theirs.
In short, I was hoping this book would get me excited about cooking vegan. Instead I was pretty turned off, and returned it and [b:Veganomicon The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook|1059680|Veganomicon The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook|Isa Chandra Moskowitz|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ZzKQj44EL._SL75_.jpg|1046261] to the library today.
