Book Review of Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook

Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook
mlkh avatar reviewed on


There are a lot of recipes, to be sure, but what I remember most about them is that for every recipe, I'd have to go out and buy two or three things specially. Things that I wouldn't ever use again in my day to day. Their idea of "well-stocked" sounds more like "aristocratic grandeur" to me.
And then, on the subject of nutrition - I can no longer endorse any cookbook that advocates the eating of processed foods, such as tofu, tempeh etc, ESPECIALLY as someone's source of protein. I'm sorry, but that is just not healthy, period. If you want to be VEGAN, this is the book for you. If you want to be HEALTHY, I'd recommend other books like The Art of Simple Food, and Nourishing Traditions.
