It is rare that I don't go to this cookbook at least once a week. I have served the Tofu Chimichangas recipe to who knows how many people now and I can't think of anyone who didn't like it. A lot of other recipes (Marc's Magnificent Noodles, Dragon Bowl, etc.) are also major staples for me. I can't vouch for the breakfast or baking sections since I don't do too much of that (besides the juicer recipes - those are good) but the appetizers and main courses in here are right on. Highly recommended.
I have to say--I didn't love it. Barely liked it. I admired the simplicity of the recipes. The Veganomicon is my favorite vegan cookbook right now, and probably for a long time to come, but it is by most standards gourmet. Even the recipes they say take under 45 minutes most certainly don't. By contrast, The Garden of Vegan recipes are almost ridiculously simple. I do appreciate the microwave section. Although I no longer use the microwave for more than 75% of my food preparation, there are folk...more
Better than its predecessor, this book finds Barnard and Kramer reaching out to their friends and readers for additional recipes. Clearly this book also went through more rigorous testing than the first one, as I ran into far fewer quirks in the recipes. The one oddity I came across was a sudden penchant for using olive oil in almost every recipe calling for oil. Needless to say, I did not follow this trend. Includes Maureen's sacred coffee cake recipe and many, many other winners. Highly recomm...more
I enjoyed this cookbook and feel it helped broaden my view of vegan eating. I borrowed this cookbook from the library and am actually putting it on my book wishlist to acquire. I think the book would be a handy reference for me when my vegan friends are going to visit (or I want to surprise them with a treat or scrapbooked recipe) and also when I am looking to try something different or make a more healthier than our normal meal.
Loving butter and wool like I do, I will probably never fully embrace veganism. But who doesn't want to eat healthier and cut down on fat? I have been particularly inspired by my father in law, who had by-pass surgery and had to adopt a diet with very little fat. A lot of people would complain, but he has embraced his new diet with astonishingly good-natured enthusiasm. So I decided to try this cookbook. The authors are funny and sensible and make Canada seem really cool. So far four recipes fro...more
LOVE this cookbook! I checked it out from the library along with How it all Vegan. I immediately went to the bookstore & purchased a copy of each book. Definitely good to have these stored in the arsenal.

I don't use many of the recipes in this book (partly because I have some dietary restrictions that prevent it), the ones I do use, I use regularly and love.
The carrot-ginger soup recipe in here is one I eat almost weekly. Plus, it was such a hit at a dinner party I had one of my friends made it for a dinner party he had.
I regularly make the berry muffin recipe in this book and it's excellent (although I substitute a different berry for the blueberries).
I highly recommend this book to anybody i...more

I prefer to use 'How It All Vegan', the duo's first cookbook. I find this one is somewhat redundant, and rarely consult it anymore.

So far I really like this book. The authors are fun and share interesting stories. I've tried a number of the recipes and like them. I got this from he library. My husband would prefer I not buy another cookbook, but he keeps liking the recipes I'm making from it.
I'm not vegan, not even vegetarian, but I like to try cookbooks like these to expand my horizons.

The history of the authors makes you want to be their friends and hang out in the kitchen with them, but the layout and font makes the book difficult to read. I have yet to try any of the recipes in this book because I've found that many of them are heavy on soy and sugar. Two ingredients I try to avoid.
Tanya Barnard, Sarah Kramer & Isa Chandra Moskowitz are goddesses who I discovered the summer I went vegan.
I'd like to get back to being a vegetarian and stay mainly vegan, and these books will once again rule my world.
Even if you're a hardcore meat-eater, there are recipes here that you will love.

I found this one mostly a re-hash of the first book, How it All Vegan, which I use a ton. I rarely use this book and will probably donate it.
three stars b/c no pics, but my fav tofu recipe is in here...
I like all three Kramer vegan cookbooks, but THIS ONE is one of my favorites! If you know someone wanting to become vegan, but is afraid the food might be boring, THEN BUY THEM THIS COOKBOOK!

I only really use this for the microwave cooking section--it has some really helpful ideas for if you don't have access to a full kitchen. The curried chickpea potato soup is probably my favorite recipe from it.
this book was not so hot compared to how it all vegan. it looks like lots of people sent in/shared their recipes with them. i like theirs better! not as many successes for me with this cookbook.
They kill me with the cutesy photos of themselves every three pages. This is not a good thing. It's a cookbook, a few pictures of the author(s) is fine, but show some pictures of the food!!!
If I were to go vegan I wouldn't rely on this book because it is full of sugar and soy. To be frank, I don't feel super healthy eating these meals, but they are super fun to make.

I am NOT vegan, by any means, but I am still interested in reading the recipes in these books.
all of their vegan books are wonderful. great recipee, entertaining to read, and very good information.
i like these books. unless your a committed vegan i would steer clear of some of the baking recipes though.
Easy, tasty but too much oil & refined sugars and flours for everyday eating.
Another triumph. Amazing recipes that I turn to again and again.
I read cook books like novels.
More from those kick ass chicks!
