Pictures of good vegan food you've eaten! (1)

[cedarblue]

oh my goodness, look at that cupcake!!!

[vegetarian_cat]

Joy of Vegan Baking is a lovely book, haven't got around to making anything from it yet - I suffer from too-many-cookbooks-syndrome:o, the one thing that annoys me though is the copious use of egg replacer, I hate that stuff!

I haven't used the Egg replacer ever yet.

So far I only tried the recipes that ask for ground flaxseed
and I'm loving it.
It's so healthy too and is great in both bread and muffins.

So I'd REALLY encourage you to try some of those recipes.
you're missing out!

I really want to try that banana chocolate chip muffins though! I'm not ready to buy another cook book though, my first is in the mail right now (veganonomican)

@kitteh: how do you get along with Ani Phyo's books? I wanted to buy one but reviews were quite bad.

[jamboxrock]

Kitteh, those save the salmon patties look so good! I'm very interested in that raw book. I'dve loaded them up with seaweed though :)

i think it's excellent, i have it.
i think there's a thread or two on ani in the raw food zone.

[Kitteh]

JBR that pasta looks yummo!


@kitteh: how do you get along with Ani Phyo's books? I wanted to buy one but reviews were quite bad.

I don't own either of her books but I have used her website where she has a recipe section.

I have only heard good reviews, where did you read bad ones?

[ellaminnowpea]

Thanks for all the help, Kitteh. Your "fish" patties look really good. Do you think someone could make them chicken flavoured? I dont like the taste of fish too much.

Pavo, I have Ani Phyo's book, as well. I really like it, but I'm not very motivated to "cook" in general, so I'm probably not the best person to ask about the book. But I'm looking for a good dehydrator and food processor. Then I'm hoping I'll have the motivation to use the book a bit more.

[Kitteh]

LMNOP - mine didn't taste fishy because I left out the dulse flakes, so they just tasted like onions and veggies! I guess you could add different herbs if you want a different flavour :)

I suppose goodreads... people write the books are full of pictures of her instead of food and recipes are too fancy.
thanks for your Ani information!

I've read the comments about too many photos as well but I've also read blogs and posts about how good her recipes are and all the photos of the food ppl make from it looks so good so I disregarded those comments. Usually ppl complain there are not enough photos in cookbooks! Some ppl also say her recipes are too oily or salty but my only issue so far has been the raw garlic being too strong for me. I think I will purchase her book :)

[pavotrouge]

I love oil, salt and raw garlic :D !

[Kitteh]

I'm trying to cut back on using a lot of oil and the recipes I have tried of hers don't contain liquid oil but lots of seeds and/or nuts, so maybe that's what ppl have an issue with. I also enjoy salt and like to add a small pinch to some of my raw meals :)

[RubyDuby]

loving all these new pics! everything is making me hungry.
esp the desserts and that pizza! but the green smoothie looks pretty darn good too.

[Kitteh]

Mmm, Ruby I want some of the spaghetti squash & marinara and Erin I want some of the curried noodles!

[cedarblue]

*whispers* i want some of it all

[RubyDuby]

those curried noodles do look really good!

jambox- would you recommend the uncheese cookbook?

[jamboxrock]

I would, but I'm totally okay with experimental cheese substitutes. If you're okay with that kind of thing (like blocks of cheese made from cashews, roasted red pepper and agar) then you'll probably like it. Oh, and lots of nutritional yeast of course. That casserole was really good, and I like one of the grilled cheese recipes a lot.

[robb]

I'm so hungry right now...
