Initial Thoughts:
- Recipes: 200 vegan recipes with menu ideas.
- Would I buy this book? Maybe. It is best for the specialty market for vegans, but could be useful to other cooks as well with vegan friends.
I'm not vegan, but more of my friends have been developing food allergies so this book is a great resource to have on hand for ideas of what to make for food sensitive friends. Nava Atlas fills the biggest gap in the
vegan repertoire with more than 200 completely doable
recipes for every festive occasion.
Atlas, one of the most
respected names in vegetarian and vegan cooking, addresses everything
from Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas --to celebratory brunches,
lunches, dinners, potlucks, and buffets. Such mouthwatering dishes as
Coconut Butternut Squash Soup, Green Chili Corn Bread, Hearty Vegetable
Pot Pie, delicate Ravioli with Sweet Potatoes and Sage, and Cashew
Chocolate Mousse Pie will convince even the most skeptical eater that
vegan cooking is well worth celebrating.
Delight friends and family with delectable dishes for:
Thanksgiving: Coconut Butternut Squash Soup; Black
Bean and Sweet Potato Tortilla Casserole; Smashed Potatoes with Mushroom
Gravy; and Pumpkin Cheesecake with a Hint of Chocolate
Christmas and the holiday season: Gingered Carrot
Soup; Wild Rice Pilaf–Stuffed Peppers; Hearty Lentil and Mushroom
Shepherd’s Pie; Chocolate Mint Bars; and a velvety “Vegg” Nog
Passover, Rosh Hashanah, and Hanukkah: Moroccan-
Style Vegetable Soup with Vegan Matzo Balls; Vegan Latkes,
Coconut-Almond Macaroons, Sweet Noodle Kugel; and Seven-Vegetable
Couscous.
Easter: Roasted Setian, Peppers, and Portabellas; Spring Vegetable Tart; and Chocolate-Orange Cake
Independence Day and summer entertaining: A great
guide to grilling vegetables and plant-based proteins; Summer Tomato
Salad with Peaches and Pecans; and Corn Fritters with Cilantro Sauce
Brunches, appetizers, and potluck dishes: Rosemary
Potato and Sausage Skillet (yes, it’s vegan!); Apple and Broccoli

Good Chili
