Simply great!
Very excited to see this book exists -- I've been thinking about writing my own to fill the void of Vegan (or almost-vegan in this case)Cajun Cookbooks. It's not fancy, but includes many of my favorite dishes, and things I can't wait to make that I haven't had since before I could cook for myself. This book is humble, as is the cuisine, not to be confused with New Orleans' flamboyance.
Classic Cajun modified to be meat-, dairy-, and egg-free
Although this book is already eight years old, it is a new favorite to me since I just bought it. Being a vegetarian, until I found this book, my experience with Cajun cooking has been limited to an occasional Red Beans and Rice. Now I am happily preparing Jambalaya, Courtbollion,and Gumbos that are vegan and low in fat. Never having been pleased before with recipes for vegan cakes, I have to caution the reader that I haven't ventured into the dessert section at the back of the book. Some vegans may find the use of honey as a sweetener a problem and want to make substitutions. The breakfasts, main dish and side dish recipes are wonderful, and have given me the courage to read non-vegetarian Cajun recipes with an eye as to how to adapt them to my diet.
Fantastic addition to my kitchen!
This book is very complete and has lots of vegan breakfasts as well as main meals. Preserves and baking is included as well. Sure is a great way to spice up a veggie menu!
