Memories, history, and a return to simple living
I join the other reviewers who love this book. I got a kick out of showing my son the pictures of hard-working, good-eating hippies and tell him about my own experiences back in the '70s. As a 2 yr vegan, I found the recipes just what I was looking for - simple, hearty, appealing even to omnis, and with ingredients that I can get even in my small town. The explanations about the different foods like tofu and tempeh are great for people new to this kind of eating, but probably old hat to someone who's been veg*n for awhile. But that's OK. It's a bit of history. I think it is a great benefit, and shows the growing acceptance of this way of eating, that you can buy your tofu and soy milk at almost any store around and don't need to struggle as much as these folks did, but it's still good to see how you can make your own if you need or want to. I initially bought the book as a bit of history, with no intention of making anything from it, but the recipes are so appealing, I know I will use it as a cookbook. I have a growing number of veg*n cookbooks and know the disappointment of getting a bunch of recipes that cost a lot to make and use hard to find ingredients. This book is the complete opposite of those kinds of cookbooks. I recommend it for the historical value, for the food history value, and for good recipes suitable for everyone, veg*n or not.
I did not receive my cookbook.
I did not receive the order I placed. I ordered The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook in September and have yet to receive the book.
Best Vegan Cookbook Ever!!
I bought this book a while back when I first became a vegetarian and was so amazed! This book teaches you how to make everything from scratch! Soy burgers, soy milk, etc. TVP, you name it! And wonderful, actual usable recipes for everything you want and need for vegans!
