Isa Does It: Amazingly Easy, Wildly Delicious Vegan Recipes For Every Day Of The Week (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Originally posted on Sarahsbookshelf.com:Isa Chandra Moskowitz is a vegan chef that I’ve been following of late. Her cookbooks on the subject are fantastic. This particular one is fast becoming a go-to resource not only on vegan cooking, but cooking in general.This book contains a recipe of one of my all-time favorite foods: Malai Kofta. Prior to this book, I had only had this dish at Indian restaurants, but it was always something I was on the lookout for. When I first read through this book that was one of the recipes that really caught my attention. It’s a relatively complicated recipe (more in time than actually difficult–lots of moving parts) compared to some, but it was SO delicious. It was one of those dishes that I’d make for someone and not tell them it was vegan–that’s how good it was. One of the other things I appreciate about Moskowitz’s books is that she often doesn’t rely on packaged vegan stuff (other than tofu). You won’t see recipes with vegan cream in them. Instead, you will make things like cashew cream.I cannot say enough good things about this book. If I didn’t think my friends and family would have kittens seeing the word “vegan” on the cover of a cookbook, I’d give this to all of them for the holidays. Truly, this is a wonderful cookbook for anyone interested in eating good food. Period. I bought this book last Christmas for my daughter, and we both love it. I can't think of any other cookbook I've owned that has contained more 'winners'. The recipes are usually pretty simple, and most use only ingredients that the average vegan would readily have on hand. Most important of all, every recipe we've tried is delicious! Even if you're not a vegan/vegetarian, you're sure to find plenty of recipes in this book that you'll love. Can't recommend it highly enough.
