Simple Recipes Make Veganism Easy!

I was interested in knowing more about a vegan diet and Vegan Homestyle is really an informative resource. There's a whole section about how to use and consume gluten; it shares some really basic and more elaborate ways to prepare tofu. There are even recipes for 'from-scratch' soy meat and tofu mayonaisse.

Hands-down, my favorite recipes from the book are all the different ones for potatoes - even one for an amazing Shepherd's Pie that is hearty and delicious - homestyle cooking for sure.

Vegan Homestyle a Wealth of Health Information

Review by Joy:

This beautiful Vegan Cookbook rivals any "regular" cookbook, with delicious recipes -- well illustrated and made simple by editorial comments. My husband and I enjoy preparing and eating these wonderful foods, and were excited to see nutritional analysis after each recipe to help plan balanced meals!

Other cookbooks do not contain educational comments for a healthy lifestyle from the author/cook and her doctor/chemist husband that are like 10 days at their Emerald Valley Wellness Clinic! It's hard to believe they've added this wealth of information as a priceless bonus!

(Note: Another comment said it isn't a "Vegan Cookbook" because of including honey in some recipes. I note the Hansens' editorial comments make it clear how those who prefer to avoid honey can make appropriate substitutes. "Vegetarian" would be a misleading label considering the focus of recipes and healthy lifestyle comments.)

I'm privileged to have enjoyed many recipes in this cookbook for five years -- they contributed to total turn-around of effects from the massive heart attack I suffered. As promised, now we can replace our ear-worn Lifestyle notebook with this wonderful, sturdy, handy-sized volume. I hope to hear many more miracle stories as people learn and prosper with this lovely creation!

suprisingly tasy meals

I have to write and say that I LOVE this cookbook. I have been very skeptical about cooking vegan (without the use of dairy) and have been hugely pleased with each recipe I have tried. I don't even notice that I am not using dairy products. My favorite recipe is the lemon creme pie. I love surprising everyone with the "secret" ingredient that makes this pie great. I also like that I can feed my 18 month old anything in this book and feel good about it. I used the recipe for the apple cake to make her 1st birthday cake and she really enjoys the healthy waffles and burgers. Kay did a wonderful job with making each recipe healthy AND pleasing to the tastebuds!
My only objection is that it is hard to find recipes cross referenced in this book. You have to know the EXACT name of the recipe you are looking for and it may not be found in the index under the name it is given in the recipe. For instance, the sour cream recipe is needed for the fajitas, but no page number is given to find that recipe and then when you try to look it up in the index, you don't know that it is actually called "Tofu Mayonnaise" with an increase of lemon juice to make it sour cream. There are several of these complications in this book and if Kay cross referenced this book better, it would be 5 stars for me!!!!
