Cookbooks

[Guest guest]

Hi!

 

I am fairly new to this list also but have had vegans in my family over the

past 10 years starting with my daughters who got turned on to John Robbins'

" Diet for a New America " . After a while, my husband decided to officially

take on a vegan diet. He (Gabriel Constans) put out a smoothie cookbook

called:

" Great American Smoothies: the Ultimate Blending Guide for Shakes

Slushes, Deserts, and Thirst Quenchers " by Gabriel Constans.

 

(Original title was " Papa's Smoothies " because it arose from the fact that

we were trying to find unique ways to get our kids to eat things that they

normally would not touch with a ten foot pole! It worked, hence the

book!). These are very easy, very quick and some are a meal in themselves.

 

As for other inspirational books that I use all the time are Mollie

Katzen's books such as the " Enchanted Broccoli Forest " , or the " Moosewood

Cookbook " She gives room to change ingredients for vegans (i.e. milk for

soy etc.).

 

Another is " A Vegetarian Ecstasy " by James Levin and Natalie Cederquist

 

That's what I use. Hope that helps a bit.

Hi!

 

My fave is (let's see if I get this title right) " The New Farm

Vegetarian Cookbook " . It's a little bit hippie, but gives room for you

to take it where you want it. I mostly use the baked goods section

because I'm still a sugar fiend.

Hello Karen,

 

a great way to find some cheap cookbooks is on Ebay. I bought Vegetarian

Times Complete Recipes for under 10.00 (hardback - and it's a GREAT book!).

Also any tofu books by Louise Hagler or Dana Jacobi are good. Just go to

ebay and type in vegetarian and see what you can get!

Hi everyone,

 

Does anyone know of a good vegan, gluten-free cookbook? All of the no dairy

ones I've looked at have lots of meat recipes. I guess it's pretty unusual

to be a vegan, and also to be on a GF diet. Or maybe no one has realized yet

what a market there is out there for this type of book?

 

Thanks,

 

Christine

Thanks for that. I will check it out. The title does

sound familiar, but I don't have it in my collection

currently. I pretty much buy cookbooks after

reading the wonderful personal reviews that the

members here post, and I have yet to be disappointed

with any or left with the feeling that I was steered

wrong. Thanks again, and I am glad you enjoy

this list, Davida.

I have a wonderful cookbook I picked up at Sam's Club last year (in Dallas, TX)

- perhaps you can track it down through the publisher? It's a photographically

illustrated technique type of book and very thick (505 pgs), although I only

paid $8.67 for it.

 

It's called:

 

Ultimate Vegetarian

 

Published by:

 

Paragon Publishing

Queen Street House

4 Queen Street

Bath BA1 1 HE, UK

 

originally published in 1999, 2nd publishing was in 2003.

 

It has wonderful recipes in it and doesn't seem to call for anything weird or

hard to come by.

 

Happy Hunting!!

Hi,

 

I just ordered a book which looked interesting but we shall

see. I was writing up a little about Bishop's Weed/Goutweed/Ground Elder

and found there were recipes for such things. The book is

Haha. Nearly everyone rated it 5 out of 5 stars on amazon. The

only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have pictures. Reading the

reviews, though, it just sounds wonderful. If I can't find it at a

resell book store, I'll order it when I order something else from

amazon (for free ship).

 

I'm craving Thai food now.

Does anyone have the Peaceful Palate?

No, I've not seen it... care to share a recipe from it?? (hint, hint) :-)

[Guest guest]

Here's one for Simple Marinara from the Peaceful Palate

 

1/2 cup red or white wine or water

1 onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves. minced

1 28 ou can crushed or ground tomatoes

1 Tb mixed Italian Herbs

1 TB apple juice concentrate

1/4 TS pepper

 

Heat wine or water in a large pot, then add onion and garlic and cook until

soft about 5 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, hers, apple juice and black pepper.

Simmer 20 minutes.

 

 

[Guest guest]

Apple juice concentrate?? Sounds a bit like the sauce from a

restaurant in my hometown (it has applesauce), that my mom sometimes

sends for Christmas...

[Guest guest]

Vikki,

 

I really, really love the Moosewood cookbooks. There

is one that focuses each chapter on dishes from

various places around the world. If you like ethnic

and exotic (but still yummy and relatively easy to

cook) then you should check it out!

 

Happy cooking,

 

Maria

NEW FAVOURITE: awesome awesome awesome

loaded with advice for feeding INFANTS, KIDS

 

" Vive le Vegan! "

'Simple, Delectable Recipes for the Everyday Vegan Family'

Dreena Burton

ISBN 1-55152-106-7

 

 

 

OLD FAVOURITE:

" The Compassionate Cook " - PETA

(simple favourites)

 

 

 

VERY GOOD:

" The Everyday Vegan "

'Recipes & Lessons for Leading the Vegan Life'

Dreena Burton

ISBN 1-55152-106-7

 

 

Moosewood cookbook is good but revised edition omits the best recipe ...

so Google " vegetable almond medley " or try cooks.com

 

 

 

Bon appetit!

[Guest guest]

The two that I use the most are Vive le Vegan and Vegan Planet. Also

Dr. Weil's book Eating Well for Optimum Health (although not just a

cookbook) has some great recipes in the back. Although they are not

totally vegan (there are some fish recipes) I believe they are all

dairy free and the dessert recipes are awesome.

Hi Vikki!

 

*I agree with the other two people who suggested Viva La Vegan

cookbook, the information for weaning is good, information on cooking

beans, healthy recipes & a decent glossary.

 

*I highly suggest PLEASE FEED ME PUNK VEGAN COOKBOOK, originally

printed as " The document " . I bought both. I used the first one so

much that it fell apart. And when it was re-printed as " please feed

me " i bought it and i think its the best cookbook. I know Niall and

a good few people who contributed recipes. I have to mention this

as I was introduced to vegetarianism & veganism through the punk

scene. Niall, his wife Miriam & 3 kids and are all vegan and really

healthy.

 

The following info about the book is taken from this link. Here's

the link to buy this book from amazon;

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1932360093/frommars-20/103-

8702511-4611067

 

 

http://frommars.org/2005/01/please-feed-me-punk-vegan-

cookbook.html " Each recipe features an anecdote by a band that

performed via the Hope Collective, a popular punk booking collective

in Dublin the author helped maintain for over a decade. (The Hope

Collective became a blue print and inspiration for punk and DIY

spaces across Ireland and the UK.) The book features contributions

from over 120 people who donated their vegan recipes and thoughts on

the importance of the punk rock community and culture, including such

seminal punk banks such as Fugazi, Bikini Kill, and Chumbawamba. " In

addition to great recipes, Please Feed Me uniquely illustrates the

connections between community, art, activism and health. The

thunderous subtext of the book is the vital underground community and

network created and maintained by a collective of organizers and

hundreds of musicians at a time when most punk bands were signing to

major labels for the highest dollar amount. The book documents pieces

of the stories of many popular US and international punk bands that

continue to have a major influence on youth subcultures today.

I don't post too often, but with the discussion about cookbooks I

have to say- my in-laws gave us Vive le Vegan! for Christmas (which is

pretty cool, considering they're omnivores) and all the recipes we've

tried so far are great. For instance, the Roasted Tomato-Bean Stew,

Sunflower-Lentil Pie, and Lemon-Rosemary Roasted Tofu are creative and

delicious (one thing, though: that tofu is VERY lemony). And the

Scalloped Potatoes brought me right back to New Years' Eve at Uncle

Ralph's. Oh, the memories... :-)

 

Our personal favorite cookbook is Vegan Vittles. It was the one

that got us started on our vegan journey (3 yrs ago)and has MANY

delicious, easy, kid-friendly recipes. Plus, little stories about the

animals of Farm Sanctuary. Kids love these.

 

Thanks for the info about Teflon, very interesting.

 

And to the person who said the Dalai Lama has gone completely?

veggie, where did you find this out? If you read it on the Web could

you post the link? Just interested. I'm a huge Dalai Lama/ Buddhism

fan! Though not yet Buddhist. Dear me, what would the family say if I

did that!?

I had also read that the Dalai Lama is now completely vegetarian.

I write for VegNews magazine, and I believe we are
