There are a lot of simple recipes that have blown my mind like the olivey roasted red pepper and eggplant goodness of the Muffulatta Sandwich I recommend the book to beginners all the time because if you actually read it you will learn everything you need to know about vegan cooking and if you still can’t figure something out it is the only book in the world (well that I know of) that has a whole forum of friendly people who have tried every recipe and will tell you what to do and give you advice if you are confused. It is true some of the recipes are involved but when you sink your teeth into the Moussaka or the Caluliflower and Mushroom Pot Pie with olive biscuit topping it will all be worth it I promise.
He tells his friends & family about it and then they get it and wander off to whole foods looking for porcini mushrooms and unground nutmeg. It is my boyfriend’s favorite cookbook and before he read the Veganomicon he only made pasta. I have personally recommended the book to so many folks who don’t know their soft tofu from their silken tofu and they have all seemed pretty happy with it. I have read that the Veganomicon is difficult for beginners and I have to disagree. Now vegans have a whole case in the store and there are so many titles coming out every month that us vegan food bloggers and food enthusiasts can’t keep up with them. When the Veganomicon came out just a couple years ago it mingled with the vegetarian cookbooks on a shelf at Book People. The Veganomicon took vegan food from a health food or animal rights niche to a full on cuisine which in turn helped both those causes. (My answer, yes) I think a big part of the reason for all the chatter is that it really did usher in the change. I have seen people debate if it is really the ultimate vegan cookbook. I have seen posts about this book where people try and cook from it for a week, or even a year. Or that I spend a lot of time in the vegan blogosphere. That probably tells you more about my circle than anything else. It seems silly to even review The Veganomicon because I feel like most people already have it. This post is part of the ppk’s 2011 cookbook challenge.
