I have a mixed diet family (meat to vegan) and every recipe has pleased my carnivores - no side comments or groans from a 16 year old boy! faves: mango tempeh sammiches coconut cream cupcakes (never been pegged as vegan in 6 bake sales) garlicky kale pumpkin waffles raspberry blackout cake (wonderful ganache) chocolate chip cookies parsnip latkes pizza dough! scones carrot raisin muffins (i use my juicer leftover carrot mush for this) green thai curry (demanded once a week in my house) mushroom sauce the only flop has been the stuffed zuccini :( darn zuke -haters really, if i want to show unbelievers that vegan food can be good, or if i need a sureshot recipe for important dinners - i grab isa. i think i have a crush on her.

really, if i want to show unbelievers that vegan food can be good, or if i need a sureshot recipe for important dinners - i grab isa.

I bought this book for my sister and ended up keeping it because the recipes are so great. The quinoa-stuffed red bell peppers are amazing, and the chocolate chip cookies are the best I've ever tasted. Everything is easily converted to gluten-free, too! (that's what I did with the CCCs) Oh, and I'll be getting my sister a new book shortly :) Best, Erin This book is rad, yes, rad.

It's refreshing to see a web page that doesn't have aggressive comments from meat-eaters on it (I get those comments on my blog ALL the time!) That book looks awesome. I've just been inspired to make a nice vegan lunch. Later! Preston. Wow, this is a great site!

I'm so glad you gave some recommendations. I'm already planning on making one of the waffle recipes and the biscuits with tempeh sausage and gravy this week.

I don't think I've ever eaten this many in my life. (My favorite are the bannana pecan). We also use this cookbook way more than any other of our vegan cookbooks.

I also love the Lemon Gem Cupcakes (although they don't look pretty--I must have screwed something up--they sure taste good). The Stewed Potatoes and Tofu isn't bad either. The Jerk Seitan rocks.
