Supermarket Vegan: 225 Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Recipes For Real Peoplein The Real World (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Yes, I read cookbooks! The recipes look very tasty and mostly healthy. there are a few with white flour, white sugar, and vegetable shortening but we all need treats. I just made the Three-Bean Barley Chili. It made a lot. It was delicious!!! I didn't miss the meat at all. Next I'm going to try the stuffed zucchini and the Apple Almond Caramel Bake. Yum! These recipes will be great for weeknight and last minute meals; or when it is too cold to go out and shop for food. It's easy to be healthy and vegan/vegetarian when you plan, but what do you do when you are caught unprepared? This book will help. Almost everything from tonight's chili was in my pantry. I think this book will help keep me on track.I also really like that there are no meat substitutes in the book. It also doesn't seem to be over the top with soy either. Both of these are big pluses for me. Some hits and some misses, so far. The Curried Broccoli Soup was really nice. The Baked Beans and Macaroni Casserole was kind of meh, too sweet and the fried onion topping was... not good. (But it would be easy to fix, I think. The variety of baked beans I used was more sweet than the Heinz ones I usually get. And any kind of crunchy topping would a good replacement for the onions.) The Gnocchi with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce was nice, if a bit ugly. I think Klein relies just a little too heavily on canned where it's not necessary - the canned asparagus in the asparagus soup, for instance, doesn't seem very necessary as you're already cutting some fresh... why not just use more fresh? - and some of the things she easily finds in her grocery stores aren't all that easily found in mine. She must live somewhere that southern foods are common - you can't buy canned black-eyed peas here or collard greens (fresh or canned), hominy and masa harina are also impossible to find up here. Still, I really like the concept. Not having to go to specialty stores is a huge plus and because she only offers recipes that don't need meat or dairy replacements, you don't feel like the recipes would be good, if only you could add some cheese or whatever.
