My edition is actually just "The Farm" not "The New Farm." It's worth it just for the melty mac & "cheese." My 2nd favorite cookbook after Soy Not Oi.
A few good recipes - pancakes and vegan mac & cheese were things we made a bunch of. That said, I think the fact that this is a cookbook based on what was served at an intentional community whose kitchen had to cater to the palates of many made for what I find to be a collection of overwhelmingly bland recipes. The kind of food that non-vegetarian people are incorrect in thinking vegetarian food is all about.
For some reason a lot of the dessert type recipes in this book just did not turn out right for me, Especially the cake recipes. However, I really enjoyed the information and recipes for the tempeh, soymilk, soy yogurt, Yuba, gluten roasts and tofu .It is definitely worth picking up and reading if you’re interested in making tofu or any of the above at home.

A very great resource book. Lots of things you never knew you could easily make from scratch. Like soymilk, tempeh, you name it. It might seem a little outdated to those that want something really modern and posh, but I just love it. It has timeless basic recipes and really really easy and great bread recipes. Excellent resource, I recommend it.
Another vegan classic from veteran vegan cookbook master Louise Hagler. From the days of crunchy hippie goodness on "The Farm" comes this book full of comfort food recipes that never fail. My copy is stained all to hell. Can't go wrong here, folks.
Excellent stuff here. My only real gripe with this book, (aside from the hippies, of course) is the proportions are to feed a small army. That's it. Otherwise, this is solid!
This was my go-to cookbook when I was vegan. Some of the recipes came out weird, though, like the fake cheese, but I forgive it for its sheer crunchy, vegetarian exhuberance!
This is an excellent beginner book for vegetarian/vegans. it has simple effective homey hearty recipes including vegan mac and cheese, potato knishes, cake etc.
I still have fantasies about the vegan cornbread recipe...! I need to dig this up somewhere, stat. An oldie but goodie.
New and old, another life-changer! Spaghetti sauce = sloppy joe; honey cake is The One...
Vegan Mac & Cheese is a staple in our house. We add truffle oil. So good!
This is my favorite cookbook! I use it so much that it has fallen apart.
I LOVE this book.. It is my absolute favorite vegetarian cookbook..

If you like margarine, you'll love the new farm cookbook
This is one of the best cookbooks-EVER!
This is a perennial favorite of mine.
This book makes me feel very nostalgic. I don't know that I've ever actually cooked anything from it, but I like to look at the pictures of the hippies making tofu and feeding babies and such. And the nutrition references in the back are good. And, someday I might want to make my own tofu.
I'm not a huge fan of the "soy based lifestyle" sort of vegetarianism, but if you are looking for more vegan standby recipes, this is a good basic book to have.

This book is great for the new vegetarian who may have loads of questions about staples of the veg diet. You can find out exactly what tempeh, tofu, soymilk, nutritional yeast, tvp, and seitan are - as well as how they're made. This book answers lots of questions, and the pictures of the happy health vegetarian hippies cast away your doubts of the healthfulness of a vegetarian diet.
I love this book! The recipes are easy, healthy, cheap to make, tasty and all vegan! What more could one ask for? I love the basic recipes (the biscuits are great!) and the enchilada sauce and nut yeast cheezy sauce are both awesome. I have never had better enchiladas, and they go over well at communes!
Well this book has a lot of great crazy hippie vegetarian/vegan recipes in it. It has some simple dishes like lentil loaf and enchiladas with a nutritional yeast "cheese" sauce which are memorable favorites. If you are so motivated to you can learn how to make your own tempeh.
I got this cookbook because I coveted Jessica Ratchliff's copy. I've cooked some things out of it. These recipes are highly based on soy, so if you need to figure out what to do with tofu or tempeh (or how to make your own!) this book is for you.
great vegan cookbook with lots of staples and comfort food. worth it just to learn how to make the nutritional yeast sauce--the basis for the "Famous Yeasty Casserole" many of my friends are familiar with. YUM!
Very good beginner vegan book. Explains common ingredients, and the recipes are simple and straight-forward. Inspired my love of nutritional yeast... the mac and cheeze recipe is classic and perfect.
my first vegan cookbook! I have never made half of this stuff, but it has really simple recipes. I love the nutritional yeast sauce in there! Even though Rose told me my nachos were disgusting...
A good all around basic vegan cookbook. Yeah sure, a lot of the recipes in here need to be added to or adjusted, but still quite helpful. Thanks to Uncle Bill and all the Tennessee hippies.
This book is amazing! I enjoy all the simple wisdom contained in it. The recipes are simple and the pictures entertaining. Basicly inspirational!
This is, hands-down, the BEST, and most used cookbook I own. There's nothing fancy in here, just good basic recipes to build from. It's all vegan.
Great vegan recipes that aren't expensive to make or that use too many hard-to-find ingredients. I highly recommend it!
The best banana bread and chocolate cake recipes I have found!
This is my favorite cookbook.
