(More customer reviews)I never write reviews for cookbooks, but after making many recipes from this book, I am compelled to share the good news! This is a great book for every day- not just holidays. Her macaroni and cheese is ridiculously good and without a flake of nutritional yeast. It reminded me of Stouffer's in consistency and was delicious. I was really shocked that potatoes and carrots could come so close to real mac and cheese. My vegan toddler loved it (mac and cheese is the only food she misses from her (brief) omnivore days.) I was planning on freezing some for easy meals for my daughter when she's with Grandma, but we ended up eating it all in 48 hours! I can easily see me making this dish for omnivore friends- it doesn't have that weird "health food" taste that some mac and cheeses do.
I made the Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving, and I don't think anyone at the table knew it was vegan. The Southern Sweet Cornbread is now my husband's favorite recipe I make, and I loved the meatballs in the Kwanzaa section. My husband eats meat, but has asked me to make the Shepherd's Pie again. It was really easy and quite good. The Crispy Baked Tofu was great and very easy. My daughter and I will be making the Gingerbread Cookies soon.
I am super excited about having Christmas at my house this year and using the recipes from this book. I'm especially excited about the Agave-Glazed Acorn Squash. So far, everything I've made has been true to the "quick and easy" in the title. As a new vegan, I was afraid of ingredients like TVP (textured vegetable protein) or homemade seitan, but I'm positive I can do them both now! Thanks, Alicia!
