Product Description
In Vegan with a Vengeance, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, host of the community access vegan cooking show The Post Punk Kitchen, brings the do-it-yourself, community-driven ethos of punk rock into the kitchen. Her cooking philosophy embraces being kind to animals (all recipes are completely animal-product free) and your wallet—while being creative and having fun in the process. She emphasizes staying clear of corporate brand-name foods, and says that cooking should be an innovative, experimental, and completely real experience. This one-of-a-kind cookbook offers 125 recipes for all meals of the day, from stuffed mushrooms to tofu pizza, gingerbread cupcakes to pasta with "alfreda sauce," and is full of tips and tricks on how to keep your diet vegan, inexpensive, and liberated.

 Awesome cookbook August 6, 2008

I'm a vegetarian and was kinda bored with my usual meals and was looking for a good cookbook that would give me some new ideas. What can I say..I found it. I have tried most of the recipes in the book, incl. the baking section and every single one has worked out really well and even more importantly was delicious. I like that it is a little unconventional and not so stiff and conservative as most cookbooks out there are. Definitely the best cookbook I have ever purchased. I would also say that it is not only for vegans, but for every one who allows herself some fun in the kitchen and enjoys trying some new stuff or a different take on things you already knew. I LOVE the baking recipes coz I never really have eggs in the fridge anyway and now I don't need to run to the store when I crave cookies or pancakes. A+ aka 5 points *S*

If you're looking for an easy and fun guide to vegan cooking that doesn't hit you over the head with vegan politics, this is the cookbook for you. The pumpkin oatmeal cookies and chickpea gravy are fantastic! The scrambled tofu is pretty good, too.
 Some fantastic recipes, some not so great August 3, 2008

Usually recipes in this book are either totally awesome (Ginger Macadamia Coconut Carrot Cake, Chickpea Spinach Curry, Jerk Seitan, White Bean and Roasted Garlic Soup) or they are really, really off for example: (Gingerbread apple pie, Horseradish and Coriander Crusted Tofu, The dough recipe for the samosas - awful) I follow recipes very very exactly, not everyone does. I feel like the awesomeness of the recipes that are really good outweighs the bad, and just make sure to mark which ones you like and don't like for the future.
I'm in love with this cookbook July 25, 2008

This woman is a kitchen goddess. I am not a vegan (maybe I should say that I am a middle aged Republican with heart disease so no one thinks I am in love with the author ;^). But I am in love with this book. I have lost track of how many copies I have given to family and friends. While I have many favorite cookbooks, more meals appear on our table out of this book than the next two combined.
My single favorite meal from this book is the pomegranate barbecue tofu (which I usually make with seitan or tempeh instead of tofu -- just because she is a goddess doesn't mean you can't play with the recipes) with coconut rice. Horseradish tofu is another staple along with lemon corn waffles with blueberry sauce, cold udon noodles with peanut sauce -- not to mention the simple sides like sweet potato fries. And her scones are to live for (this is healthful food after all, why eat something that will make you die?).
The author does have a lot of attitude -- and leftist politics. If you are offended by this, get over it: the food is worth swallowing your politics (along with some tamarind sauce).
Best Vegan Cookbook Out There July 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have bought several vegan cookbooks before this one, and have been disappointed in all of them. This is by far the best. This is not a book about how to recreate standard meat dishes with meat substitutes, but rather a book with tons of fantastic recipes that do not not contain animal products. There are a few ingredients that are hard to find, but not many, and they are mostly optional.
Every recipe I have made has been terrific. Now I need to get the new cookbook, too! I liked the muffins so much that I made three batches of different ones today. Soooooo good.
