Customer Reviews of Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook
Customer Rating:  Summary: Vegan cooking for EVERYONE! Comment: This is a truly amazing book! It covers everything you could want, and everything is great! I have never had a book I could count on so heavily to wow me each and every time, until this one. I can't wait to try them all! I LOVE that most things in here are things I can make out of what is already in my house. I rarely have to buy anything different to make what sounds good. The pantry stocking list is really helpful for this stuff, when you are first starting out, by the way! (I took the book to the store with me!) Overall, I just love everything about it. And I love that the authors have a website where I can ask questions if I have them, and get answers from others who have tried them too! www.theppk.com :) Customer Rating:  Summary: Book bought as gift Comment: This book was bought as a gift, therefore I cannot review it for content. However, it was received within a short time and looks to be in great condition. Customer Rating: Summary: Mountains of Yumba! Comment: After a petty lacto-ovo veg existence, I finally mustered the courage to go vegan. It was one of my better decisions--unlike my idea to crochet frogs for everyone on my xmas list. This book facilitated my happy transition, diversified my pantry and greatly improved my cooking's street cred. It even convinced my meat and potatoes, republican co-worker to change up his "butter makes it better" mantra! Customer Rating: Summary: one of my favorites Comment: Fantastic collection of recipes! The only reason that I didn't give it five stars is that I haven't made enough of the recipes to determine how frequently I will be using it. However, the majority of what I have made has been excellent. My husband raves about the black bean burgers and the banana bread recipe is the best! Customer Rating: Summary: New Vegan Comment: I have been vegetarian my whole life, but have always wanted to take the final step and "go vegan". I finally did and rushed out to buy a bunch of vegan cookbooks, Veganomicon being one of them. All of the other vegan cookbooks have been put on a shelf, but Veganomicon stays handy on the countertop. I often just pick it up and drool over the recipes even if I'm not going to cook anything! Everything I've made has been really, really good. I've read the reviews on Amazon and people are correct that if you are a new vegan you will probably not open your pantry and already have the ingredients to start cooking these recipes. But once you've stocked the pantry with a couple essentials the recipes are easy to make. Veganomicon has made my transition to eating vegan a breeze and I'm not looking back! I fully recommend this cookbook! More Reviews Who knew vegetables could taste so good? Moskowitz and Romero's newest delicious collection makes it easier than ever to live vegan.

Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. Choosing Appliance -> Whip / Whisk Many still consider a whip as a "gourmet" piece of kitchen equipment. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is as essential as a kitchen stove and should be in everyone's kitchen. Nothing works better for mixing a multitude of different preparations or for making sauces or gravy. Buy a solid stainless steel whip with moderately stiff wires. Very thin wires are for mixing delicate things like egg whites or whipped cream. Very thick, solid wires are for mixing stiff dough.
