Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food: Over 150 Great-Tasting, Down-Home Recipes and 65 Everyday Meal Ideas―for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

What principally strikes me is that it would have taken much longer to find vegan cereal bars that my children will like and will be good for them... Seriously, the time it takes to read a few labels, to buy cereal bars that my children will like and be nutritious enough for them, I had this all put together and baking in the oven. This morning I heard the children talking among themselves about how good the muffins are. I have had this book for years and feel guilty for not posting a review before now. Yesterday I made the Blueberry Muffins and was amazed at how quickly the recipe came together and how good the results were. Even though, too late, I discovered that I did not have margarine and substituted vegan shortening and my blueberries were frozen and not fresh they turned out beautifully. Of course, I wish I had paid attention to the book (at the next page I think) where it says to fill only 3/4 of the muffin cup and not the whole way up. After the above very easy success I baked just now the carrot raisin muffins but instead used dried plums cut up in the food processor instead of raisins. They came out beautifully and are even more nourishing, with the flaxseed and whole grain flour, carrot, plums etc. Thank you very much Ms. Simpson!

I was looking for a simple book with good vegan recipes, but the recipes weren't inspiring when reading them. It is a simple book with uncomplicated recipes, but none of the recipes struck me as recipes that I must try.

I would buy this book for the mac and cheese recipe alone! It is the best mac and cheese I have found. It doesn't contain nutritional yeast, which is a good thing, and it is easy to make. Our whole family like it - vegans and meat eaters alike! She has a lot of great recipes with regular, easy to find ingredients. Love this book.

This is my first time ever writing a review on amazon although I have ordered TONS of books over the years. Since becoming vegan two years ago, I have amassed quite a large collection of vegan cookbooks and I have to say, this is the one that gets the most use. I have been cooking for years and enjoy making gourmet meals that are quite complex, however, I really appreciate the simplicity of this cookbook. The recipes are quick, easy, and use ingredients that I usually already have on hand. I am a single mother who works full time and don't want to have to rely on take-out or processed foods and this book really helps in a pinch (although the author does use processed vegan cheeses in some of her recipes, which I am okay with every once in awhile). The best thing is that my picky four-year-old actually eats what I prepare from this cookbook, and I think that's partly because it is food she is already familiarized with (just veganized) and the recipes taste good! I love the spinach omelet, veggie "meat" loaf (although I do tweak it a bit, just my preference of veggies and spices), the spicy pumpkin soup, and my favorite is the tuno tempeh sandwich-it is just delicious! Oddly enough, one of the recipes I have not tried is the mac and cheeze, which is raved about in other reviews. I plan on making it tonight. I think this cookbook is just the right size, and I love how the author writes. I feel like I'm sitting down with a good friend sharing recipes. Her writing style is fun, witty, and unpretentious. I just ordered her other cookbook "Quick and Easy Vegan Celebrations" and hope it is just as good as this book. I really highly recommend adding this cookbook to any collection, vegan or otherwise!UPDATE: Made the Macaroni and Cheeze and it is out of this world delicious. Is now my favorite vegan recipe!! SO GOOD!!!

Replacing because the book looks like the recipes will be awesome but clearly someone already cooked with it using oil to turn the pages! I bought it new, I want new! If it were a smudge or something I could just wipe off I wouldn’t complain but the oil stain starts on the cover and goes over 100 pages! Yuck!

I only recently began plant-based diet and have bought several cookbook to assist in my endeavor and so far this is my favorite/most often used. Every dish I have prepared so far has been very tasty. Be forewarned: to those who restrict the use of oil, this author does include oils and nonhydrogenated margin in some of her recipes. Also, no caloric counts or vitamin/mineral/fiber content breakdowns are included. The food is just delish! Love her combination suggestions to make a complete meals from individual dishes. I grew up eating many of the traditional southern dishes and this cookbook teaches me how to keep foods that I love in my diet.

this are all dishes I an one or the other way are cooking and there are no real inspiration. But if there one outside and will start to cook vegetarian food it will give them a good insight

i have bought, borrowed and tested quite a few vegan cookbooks and recipes over the last few months since begining my vegan food blog. of all of them, this one is definitely my husband's favorite. (one day i literally had a different book in my hand, and he asked for a recipe from this one instead.) the sloppy josephs (joes) even convinced his meat eating friend that vegan food can be awesome. she is a friendly and engaging author, and the recipes are easy to follow. i would highly recommend this book to vegans, both new & seasoned, the vegan curious, and anyone that likes guilty tasting food, but wants zero cholesterol.

Slightly disappointed that some of the ingredients in this book are branded products from overseas so I will need to do a bit of Googling to find alternatives. I purchased as a Christmas present for my daughter who is vegan but she is confident she will be able to adapt the recipes with alternative products that can be purchased in the UK.

Good recipes, but book needs more photos if dishes in my opinion.
