Vegan submitted by jayin on August 17, 2011, 1:25pm This is the best vegan cook book I have found. Everything I have made from it was fantastic.

One of my favorites submitted by mdbowen on June 17, 2012, 5:33pm This cookbook is one of my staple cookbooks. Nearly everything I have made from it is great, and for the most part the recipes are pretty simple and call for easy-to-find ingredients.

A must-have vegan cookbook! submitted by cherylo on June 29, 2012, 8:02am We have really enjoyed all the recipes made from this book. Even my vegan-skeptic teen liked the lasagne. The pumpkin ziti was a revelation in pasta without tomato or cream sauce. The recipes are nicely laid out and easy to follow.

Highly recommended for anyone's kitchen! submitted by yugure on September 25, 2012, 3:12pm When I was given this cookbook as a gift, I was skeptical about it. "There's no way it will live up to all the hype around it," I thought. "And it's not going to be helpful with my food allergies at all." From the outset, I almost didn't want to like it.

But there's a reason why it's so popular in the vegan/vegetarian community - it really is an amazing cookbook. So many of the recipes are imaginative and unique to this book - I've never seen a recipe like Spicy Tempeh Broccoli Rabe anywhere else before (which I HIGHLY recommend) - and I've only run into a few duds (the Rustic White Bean and Mushrooms with the Tomato Couscous with Capers, a combination suggested by the book, was pretty awful). And when I've served some of these dishes to non-vegans, they've always enjoyed it!

Although this cookbook isn't specifically gluten-free or allergen-free, with a little know-how you can easily turn many of these recipes into something safe for allergy-sufferers to eat (pumpkin/sunflower seeds for nuts, rice/hemp/coconut milk for soymilk, brown rice pasta instead of wheat, etc.).

No matter how many other cookbooks I get, I always find myself coming back to this one for our family favorites.

wonderful vegan noms submitted by manz on June 21, 2013, 4:07pm This is one of my favorite cookbooks of all time. It's a great collection of recipes by two of the top vegan cookbook authors. Everything they make looks good. Isa's magic is an absolute gift for those looking for easy vegan recipes for daily use.

omicon submitted by ark on August 5, 2013, 10:45am This cookbook is amazing. I constantly pull it off my kitchen shelf for meal inspiration and to go back to my new favorite recipes (must-tries are the Southwestern Corn Pudding, Tamarind Lentils, Snobby Joes, Black eyed Pea Collard Wraps, smoky grilled tempeh, and so many others!). It is an incredible resource for cooking tips, like how to cook/prepare a specific ingredient in a wide variety of ways. I love that it has so many categories: "little meals" or apps, entrees, vegetable dishes, main proteins, breakfast, dessert.... plus the authors are hilarious and their writing is very entertaining. #1 must-have cookbook for vegans/vegetarians/anyone who wants to eat delicious food.

love! submitted by jessNU on July 25, 2018, 6:42pm Excellent recipes for vegans and nonvegans alike.
