a fabaroony find - buy it! May 14, 2008

I don't really know where to start - much, much more than your average recipe book... Great to sit down and thumb through, packed full of interesting things to look at and read, and that's before you've started on the recipes! Includes loads of recipes i've not come across before, and i've yet to try one i don't love. A total find - buy it while it's here. And try the hell fire peanuts - addictive.
Super duper. Love it. March 13, 2008

I own loads of vegan cookbooks and this is one of my favourites. This isn't a healthfood type book, its full of vegan comfort foods and ways to make faux versions of things from scratch. The aesthetic is a messy zine style and its full of bits and pieces of drawings and random writings. Its not for the minimalist. The tone is friendly and fun.
Highly recommended, there're recipes for lots of things I've never seen in other books, eg. kofta balls (like delicious falafel but with shredded cabbage and cauliflower as well as gram flour). If you're into heat you'll enjoy the chilified hot-sauced focus, but you can always leave some of that out or cut back if you're not so into that.
Drawbacks - only things to say are its very American, so some ingredients will be hard to find in UK..but use your imagination! Also there's no index, but that means you get to trawl through the book all the more. There's also a boozer feel to the whole thing (hangover cures etc), so if you're straight-edge or teetotal this might irritate you.
In conclusion, buy it! It very very good.

This is an amazing little book full of anecdotes, quotes, some quite macabre illustrations as well as lots of fun ones. The recipes are very, very good too and although American measurements etc.( it's workable ) I now know what 'chipotle' and ' seitan ' is as there's info at the beginning.There's also a recipe for dog biscuits - really - and remedies for coughs and sore throats. As a 50 something i'm passing on the suggested music to go with each recipe :- here's examples,Dehumanization Roast page 50, music- Necro Schizma-Erupted Evil demo ( 1989 ) see what I mean ? the recipe actually is excellent - a vegan meat loaf or roast.
I love this recipe title -Eric the Reds Militant Vegan Tofu Marinade. Tofu Marinade doesn't seem to pair up well with Eric the Red somehow !
Every Vegan should own and love this book. I do. However, if you're easily offended or strait laced, it might not be for you !

Deserves to be left lots of happy reviews... Greatest cookbook I've ever had, hands down... ever.
An infinite number of amazing recipes (each one with its own recommended death metal sound track), and then topped off with instructions on how to build a tattoo gun, which you dont see every day in Vegan cookbooks.
Not to mention the only (relatively) simple way to make soy milk i've seen to date. MUST be bought and cherished forever and ever...
(Alas, American measurements; which are forgiven once you try any one of the wonderous chilli's).
