|
When How It All Vegan!: Irresistible Recipes for an Animal-Free Diet was published in 1999, authors Tanya Barnard and Sarah Kramer were hailed for their fun and outlandish approach to vegan cooking, taking it out of the realm of the staid and the boring to create truly original animal-free dishes. Six printings and 40,000 copies later, How It All Vegan! was a BookSense 76 selection in the US and is Arsenal's bestselling title to date. |

Good things about this cookbook:
* Cheap, easy, fast recipes * Contains quite a few recipes that I return to Bad things: * Many repeats from How it All Vegan! * The index is not terribly user-friendly * Many recipes are bland or just plain odd. I use them as starting points, and add my own ingredients from there Overall, I use this and How it All Vegan! enough to keep them around, especially as I fill them up with my comments and additions. I have four vegan cookbooks, and I use the two by Kramer and Barnard about 1/4 of the time. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-11-18 10:34:07 EST)

Ok, so I just tried one dish so far- made the mashed potato and fennel with gravy dish,=]mmmm Delicious!!!!! It took a while to make (I'm kinda slow...too) ...ok, like 2 hours (I'm really slow hee...and the dish is just time consuming in terms of cutting up the veggies..but if your fast/have it cut already..GREAT). But the results are yummmmm
And I'm not even vegan!...yet :p Oh, and I really like this book because the recipes are easy! The ingredients are easily found in health food and regular supermarkets. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-01-17 11:47:21 EST)

Great book, easy delicious recipes. Made going vegan easy for my whole family, even the littlest kids. This book is fun to read as well, not like your typical cook book. ;)
Also get How it all Vegan, Vegan Planet, and anything by John Robbins. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-01-17 11:47:21 EST)

i honestly do live by this book, and its prequel, "how it all vegan". almost everything i cook has come from these books, or is an altered version of something from one of the books. they're fun, they're hip, they're health- and animal-conscious. sarah and tanya are two of the most compassionate, vibrant vegans you'll ever find anywhere. this book even contains tips for the starving college kid living in a dorm room!

There is an index in this book and the first one. I don't know what that reviewer who complains of "no index" is talking about.

I love cookbooks. I use them all the time. My major gripe with this book (and the first one) is the fact that there is NO index! The recipes aren't even indexed on a main front page! How do you say "I want to make that cool blueberry muffin recipe" without going through half of the book looking for it? Look up a recipe for that extra okra? Good luck.
I never use these 2. Ever. They could have excellent recipes, but I can't find them in a reasonable amount of time. I just can't get my thumbs around them when I'm ready to cook. Very bad UI design. (Review Data Last Updated: 2006-01-17 11:47:21 EST)

I am a new vegan and I was having a hard time with the cookbooks that called for all sorts of ingredients I had never heard of with all sorts of difficult recipes. I wasn't good at cooking food before I became vegan, and it seemed like all the vegan cookbooks were for advanced cooks. Not this book. These are all great recipes with easy ingredients and simple directions. I especially love the recipes where they note that they can be frozen and reheated later. I have such a hard time cooking good healthy food while working and going to school, but this book is full of recipes that let you do that especially if you can freeze them and eat them later! Plus, the authors seem to have great laid back personalities. Not too "ooh-la-la" -- very down to earth. These recipes are great for anyone who is looking to eat more healthily. Downside of the book is that there aren't pictures of the food and sometimes I can't quite tell what it is that the recipe is for (like Jessie's Cuban Sensation-- very nice title, but what is it?). This is their second cookbook so I would recommend their first one for more basic stuff and then this one to expand your range of foods to make. They also have great ideas for parties, and a special section for college students trying to be vegan in a dorm.
