First off, we have to get our definitions straight. Vegan means no animal products. Even eggs, milk, cheeses, etc. I guess vegans eat honey but I'm not sure.
Speaking of honey, we get to the second point. Vegan doesn't necessarily mean healthy, sugar-free, non-GMO, or non-refined.
Once you understand those two points, you can really enjoy this book.
The chapters are:
Hey, hot for food fam
Badass brunches
Finger foods
Veggie sides & big salads
Hearty soups
Stacked sandwiches
Oodles of noodles
The main event
Sweet things
Get savory
Acknowledgments
Index
The recipes are written clearly and the photos of the dishes are tempting.
What all these recipes have in common is tasty home-spun meals. For those who miss non-vegan foods and who can't tweak the recipes, this is a good book. There are tofu, miso, etc in some of these dishes but often there are workarounds such as almond bacon and an exotic fruit or two like jackfruit but it's basic Americana stuff all put in one book. You don't have to be a committed vegan to cook these recipes but once you get a knack for substitution, you'll be eating vegan without too much trouble. The sauce/dressing/aioli section and the various ways of making fake bacon are the best parts of the book, especially because those sections are helpful to folks who don't know their way around a health food store.
I received this book free in exchange for a fair and honest review.
