Product Description
In Vegan with a Vengeance, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, host of the community access vegan cooking show The Post Punk Kitchen, brings the do-it-yourself, community-driven ethos of punk rock into the kitchen. Her cooking philosophy embraces being kind to animals (all recipes are completely animal-product free) and your wallet—while being creative and having fun in the process. She emphasizes staying clear of corporate brand-name foods, and says that cooking should be an innovative, experimental, and completely real experience. This one-of-a-kind cookbook offers 125 recipes for all meals of the day, from stuffed mushrooms to tofu pizza, gingerbread cupcakes to pasta with "alfreda sauce," and is full of tips and tricks on how to keep your diet vegan, inexpensive, and liberated.

I am a long-time lacto-ovo-vegetarian, and was pondering going vegan. I stumbled across the YouTube videos of the authors' old public access show Post Punk Kitchen, and adored it - I went out and got this book. Every single recipe I have made has been a winner - the scrambled tofu and the samosas are two of my favorite savory recipes, and I love ALL of the cookie recipes. The only spot I have had any trouble with was the carrot muffins - and this may have been my oven's fault more than anything else.
HIGHLY recommended, and not just for vegans. The food is truly tasty, and you don't have to tell anyone its vegan. I promise you, they will be too busy enjoying their meal to notice.

I'm a vegetarian and was kinda bored with my usual meals and was looking for a good cookbook that would give me some new ideas. What can I say..I found it. I have tried most of the recipes in the book, incl. the baking section and every single one has worked out really well and even more importantly was delicious. I like that it is a little unconventional and not so stiff and conservative as most cookbooks out there are. Definitely the best cookbook I have ever purchased. I would also say that it is not only for vegans, but for every one who allows herself some fun in the kitchen and enjoys trying some new stuff or a different take on things you already knew. I LOVE the baking recipes coz I never really have eggs in the fridge anyway and now I don't need to run to the store when I crave cookies or pancakes. A+ aka 5 points *S*

If you're looking for an easy and fun guide to vegan cooking that doesn't hit you over the head with vegan politics, this is the cookbook for you. The pumpkin oatmeal cookies and chickpea gravy are fantastic! The scrambled tofu is pretty good, too.
 Some fantastic recipes, some not so great August 3, 2008

Usually recipes in this book are either totally awesome (Ginger Macadamia Coconut Carrot Cake, Chickpea Spinach Curry, Jerk Seitan, White Bean and Roasted Garlic Soup) or they are really, really off for example: (Gingerbread apple pie, Horseradish and Coriander Crusted Tofu, The dough recipe for the samosas - awful) I follow recipes very very exactly, not everyone does. I feel like the awesomeness of the recipes that are really good outweighs the bad, and just make sure to mark which ones you like and don't like for the future.
