You don’t have to be vegan to appreciate this vegan meal book. This book is for anyone who wants to make healthier or more sustainable food choices.
Author Ann Gentry is a chef and the founder of Real Food Daily, the most popular vegan restaurant in Los Angeles’. But most importantly, she’s a mom. She knows the daily ins and outs of a busy lifestyle and a hungry family, and she’s reflected that knowledge in this simple cookbook.

Vegan Family Meals is beautifully laid out, with lots of pictures, clear instructions and easy to follow recipes.
I haven’t tried them ALL, but the ones I have tried where yummy, included a gravy that would fool the family if it appeared on the Sunday roast.
My only real issue with the book is the need for quite a few ingredients not normally found in the average meat-eating family pantry; and the lack of substitute options. Definitely a book to read with google at your fingertips if you’re unfam...more

The photographs in this book are really gorgeous and have a certain indefinable quality (of light?) that makes one think of the West Coast. But it is the ingredient lists that give one the certainty that this book was not written nor conceived on the East Coast. The Asian-inspired (Japanese-style, really) recipes do not hail from New England, where we have far less Japanese influence on our food, to our detriment.

I couldn't wait to get this book, but it is a huge disappointment. First, the way the ingredient lists are laid out across the top of the recipe is very hard to read and to visually organize when trying to figure what what ingredients you have or need. The ingredients are not at all friendly to a busy family - I was hoping for recipes that were food busy families that don't have a ton of time to cook or shops. This seems to be written for families that have a stay-at-home foodie parent who has a...more
I like the concept, but as a vegan veteran of over 10 years who is raising my family vegan, some of this food is a bit too exotic for most wee palates. We prepare a lot of whole foods, but pretty simply. I wasn't really tempted to try any recipes from this book. I own the author's other cookbook from Real Food Daily and I think I've only tried one recipe from it. A bit too macrobiotic-ish for my tastes. One of my standby cookbooks is Feeding the Whole Family by Cynthia Lair. It's not entirely ve...more
I really wanted to like this book! I've made three recipes so far and each time I'm the only one in the family eating them. I can't get the rest on board with vegan meals. The flavors and textures just don't work for them unfortunately and it's very labor intensive to make for one person.
I really enjoyed this cookbook and have many recipes tagged to make. I think that although there are some complicated ingredients that might not be easily accessible to everyone in some of the over 100 recipes, the recipes overall are far more approachable for a family or someone "leaning into" versus being a hardcore vegan than her previous book--The Real Food Daily Cookbook.

Some of these ingredients aren't readily available in Western Australia... any sandgropers know where you can get edamame, kale or jicama?
A lively and colourful vegan cookbook with 100+ recipes.
