But I Could Never Go Vegan!: 125 Recipes That Prove You Can Live Without Cheese, It’s Not All Rabbit Food, and Your Friends Will Still Come Over for Dinner Review: Funny, Innovative and above all, these recipes are attainable. A great read as well as a guide to vegan cooking! - I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years; live in a house with folks that all eat meat and LOVE all things cheese so never made the transition to Vegan - Friday nights after a long week in work are just too perfect when finished with cheese, wine and olives! So when I saw this book that not only looked fun but was written by someone who at one point professed herself as a "die hard cheese nerd" : my curiosity was piqued and I added it to my Christmas list! I loved it from the moment I opened it and read it in book form which I would never typically do with a cookbook (I was also pretty hungry as my relatively new range decided to die on Christmas day leaving my food plans a little askew; so pretty food porn was the next best thing!). Things to love: no crazy tools required -blender; check, cutting board , check; I have those ...so was happy that I did not see pages requiring dehydrators and other gadgets I will probably never buy! Food I have heard of -stuff I can buy in a regular store -yet another plus! Pretty pics full of old faves - Mac N'Cheese, Pie, Mexican dishes, Asian dishes, spiced food, and yes, even cheese! This is hearty food that one can feed the family with and yet end up with clean plates and full bellies! Today I made the broccoli chickpea soup as nutritional yeast is always on hand in my pantry, and it was delicious , warm and easy to make; the Creole Corn chowder is next on my list as well as some of the rather delicious looking desserts to serve friends and family over the holidays...only to announce after they were vegan ! This book is chock full of options! It begins with an interesting and easy to follow introduction covering basic ingredients and tools you will need to get started; followed by a basic how to guide on topics such as roasting garlic, making nut butters and cooking various grains. Then I really loved the guide to making condiments and components that can be added to dishes such as tofu sour cream and tempeh bacon. This is followed by a section built for cheese lovers full of ideas to fill that craving without dairy (have yet to try but will update when I do). The book then covers vegan options for beef lovers, pizza lowers, heck even those who adore chocolate! This book is designed to tempt the pallet of those with some big craving who as the title states "could never go vegan"! Simply love this book and will use regularly. I will update this review as I tempt my meat loving household with these dishes! Follow up: I seriously doubted I could give up cheese, or that vegan cheese would be that good but just tried making their cashew blue cheese and all I can say is why, I am a convert! Review: TRULY my new favorite! I'm not vegan (I'm vegetarian) - I should start by saying, I don't review a lot of cookbooks, and I have *many* (seriously -- in my new kitchen we're having a shelving unit built). I got this for my birthday a couple weeks ago (forgot I put it on my wishlist) and when I got it from my husband, I was bummed it wasn't a different book I was hoping for. I need to thank him *again* when he comes home tonight, two more incredible recipes today -- this book is truly, TRULY my new favorite! I'm not vegan (I'm vegetarian), and this cookbook is straight up, no weirdo vegan ingredients you never heard of (unless you've not heard of nutritional yeast, which you SHOULD, because it's chock full of B vitamins and has a cheesy, nutty taste, it makes everything better). I've made two of the cheeses here, both of which I love (try the tofu chevre with fig jam on crostini, holy omg). I've made cheeses before, but not like this, not that I wanted to make again and again (the chevre is in my fridge for the 2nd time). I've made 5 recipes, all of which were seriously -- life changing. The Roasted Broccoli Salad w Apples, Toasted Almonds, Tempeh Bacon and Lemon tahini dressing that I'm eating right now is unreal. Flavor explosion times a million. I've roasted my own veggies thousands of times, my broccoli has *never* tasted like this. The balance of salt & sweet & acid -- this woman knows what she's doing. The one thing I've noticed that I love, Kristy isn't afraid of spices, seasonings, alliums. When something calls for 1 clove of garlic in any of my other books, I do 5. I doubled the seasoning today for my broccoli, assuming it wasn't enough (because it never is), but it was. Love that!! And yep, you can follow her actual recipes!! Another thing I *really* appreciate is that these are whole food recipes. She makes flax eggs, uses bananas, dates, etc instead of using "Ener-G egg replacer" in her baked goods. She uses real ingredients, I didn't see one "faux meat" item in here -- she does make her own seitan, which I'm not a fan of in general, but there's plenty of legumes, tofu, tempeh and veggies kicking butt in these recipes. A lot of the recipes are comfort food dishes, but there are plenty of light items too. There are plenty of baked goods and ice cream in this book I plan to try, all the things you loved as a omnivore are in this book. Including Peanut Butter Cups and French Toast and Omelettes. Oh yeah. Sorry if I sound corny, but I want to sing from the rooftops about this book. I made my girlfriend buy it, because I couldn't bare with letting her borrow it from me. This food is on point, vegan or not -- I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to cook flavorful, healthful, beautiful, delicious food that is dinner party worthy!! Can I give this 6 stars?? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #155,851 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #48 in Soul Food Cooking, Food & Wine #184 in Vegetable Cooking (Books) #304 in Vegan Cooking (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,095) | | Dimensions | 7.6 x 1 x 9.4 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1615192107 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1615192106 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | But I Could Never Go Vegan! | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | December 2, 2014 | | Publisher | The Experiment | ## Images ![But I Could Never Go Vegan!: 125 Recipes That Prove You Can Live Without Cheese, It’s Not All Rabbit Food, and Your Friends Will Still Come Over for Dinner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91EtuicphoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny, Innovative and above all, these recipes are attainable.
