    yaaaaaay! I got the american one when I was in NY, for more than this (grr), so i'd be interested to see how this is different. Probably a less ameri-centric ingredients list, and more weighed measurements.
    It's arrived!!! I spent all yesterday evening reading it and quoting bits aloud to DH. The next thing is to try out some recipes...
    I think it's the American version, but what the hey! I can do the transatlantic stuff! I can use cups!

    I use my regular mugs as cups though they don't have the exact measurements. doesn't matter since I tweak the spices and all to my likings, anyway.

    I never attempted a vegan lasagne in the 4 years that I've been vegan. And cornmeal crusted brussel sprouts.....gah.....just the thought gives me shivers
    I don't remember where I read it but someone said there are some veggies that you can't say you don't like until you've tried them roasted, I think sprouts were one of them. Funny to read that re. sprouts as my bf's sis was about to coat some and fry them last night, will ask her next week if she actually ate them!

    I ordered V'con yest'day from Amazon, I'm expecting it May 21, fingers crossed!

    Well I can say that's true for me when it comes to asparagus. I hated the stuff, until a forumer suggested I roast it. Now I quite often eat it roasted in the oven, coated in bit of vegan parm

    Yeh, not a fan of asparagus, maybe roasted is the way to go. *If* I ever try frying/roasting sprouts, will let you know!!

    I would assume so, all you would have to do is heat it back up on the stove...it seems like it would its the right consistancy...

    -no, mom
    -and no fish either...
    -nope

    she said it looked great, she was only sorry it was written in english, as she doesn't speak it. i suppose it's better or she would have stolen it !

    Writing in May 2008 I am now waiting for the damn thing to be published. My bookseller (Blackwell On-line) originally told me that I could expect it on 104.08. At the end of the month I contacted them and was told that publication had been delayed (why I don't know) but that if the book was published in May, as expected, I should receive my copy by mid-June. There really has been so much hype about Vegonomicon that I was really looking forward to getting my copy and the disappointment was a bit of an anticlimax. There are some recipes from it online in "Post Punk Kitchen". The chickpea cutlets with sauce were really yummy! Oh, and I'm really pleased to hear that there are lots of potato recipes. I love them, but they have had quite a bad nutritional press lately, and cannot even count towards 5-a-day. Has anyone anything good to say about spuds?

    I am making the chickpea cutlets tomorrow and was wondering what has worked better for you all: baking or frying them. They sound delicious so I'm excited. I'm making the lemony roasted potatoes as well, which I have made a few times and love

    i've only tried frying them, i'd like to try baking just because it would omit the oil for the most part...but i didn't have an oven for a long time...but you know fried food is ALWAYS nummy!

    i tried the pita crips (my cat loves Garam Masala )and the quinoa sti-fry. i must thank Susan (from fatfreevegan) for her carrot hummus, i used to hate chickpeas.
    judging by the way the pita crips disappeared in 5 stomachs i suppose they were appreciated ^^. my father made an approving nod at my quinoa stir-fry and even my brother ate some, which is a little miracle in itself. i got compliments

    my chocolate cake was good but flat.

    I fried the chickpea cutlets. They were good, but my bf found them a little rubbery; I agree, but didn't really mind. I will make them again.

    My refrigerator is a sad sad mess compared to hers. Though I daresay they've plumped up the area a bit as the vegetables are all artfully sticking out of the drawer and I see no jar even 1/4 of the way empty in there.
    Now I wanna see her cabinets.
    Either this wallpaper goes, or I do.

    I tried making the chickpea cutlets, but I thought they were awful! I can't even eat them!
    They came out really rubbery and weird, it was like you might imagine fried rubber bands to be.
    It was a real disappointment because it was my first time cooking with vital wheat gluten and the first recipe I tried from the book!

    Maybe I made some mistake, most people on here seem to love them..

    Is it possible to be using the wrong kind of vital wheat gluten? I got it from a place online called "The Flour Bin" (one of only two places in the UK I've found it).. Or maybe something else? Any ideas?

    Also, is there much of a difference in texture between frying and baking the cutlets?

    Got loooads of the flour left as well.. Going to have to try some other recipes, although I have been rather put off now.. Haha. But maybe I'd like just a basic setian or something.

    Thanks to anybody who actually read all that rambling! :P

    Sorry to hear about that, Kuro. I use "Harvest Direct Seitan Quick Mix" which I order from the Veganstore website. I've used this a lot in many recipes and it seems to work like a dream.

    It sounds to me from your description that the chickpea cutlets were suffering from too much gluten. Are you sure that you added no more than the recipe stated? I suppose it could be possible that some gluten flours are stronger than others.

    The Veganomicon chefs have a website called "Post Punk Kitchen" and I have tried several recipes, most of which have been good. However, the other day I tried a kale enchilada recipe and although I halved the amount of chili recommended the resulting dish was so hot as to be uneatable. I later made the same dish with very little chili at all and the result was quite good. I like their meal ideas, but somehow the quantities of ingredients recommended make it a bit 'hit and miss' as to the edibility of the final product.

    Mine were baked. I have not tried frying them as it is possibly not the healthiest way of cooking, albeit a very delicious one.

    Hi Kuro,

    (as in the Japanese "black"?)
    sorry they didn't turn out for you. I've used the vital wheat gluten from The Flour Bin before and it was ok, did you make sure you used the above mentioned and not highly glutinious flour or something?

    Also, you could've done something wrong with the kneading- either too long or too short.

    Oh hmm... I won't be making the chickpea cutlets unless I can de-gluten them somehow.

    I have had a few new cook books, incl. this one and am yet to make anything from them! Must try this weekend.
