Fresh ingredients with little to no cooking to preserve the nutrients and enzymes. Food as nature made it for our bodies. Straight forward, easy to follow direction without a lot of chit chat that many cookbooks fill their pages with. This is a recipe books filled with recipes, good ones.
Some of the ingredients might be difficult to locate in some areas. There were several recipes I did not try because I have not seen the ingredients at my local natural/asian markets. Fresh Curry leaves ?, I called 4 major stores they had never seem them.
In the breakfast section I found s recipe to make coconut yogurt that is so easy and tastes wonderful. I’ve been buying it from my local grocery store at high cost compare to making it. There is also a scrambled tofu recipe that adds a few new ingredients to a dish I have been making for years, and made it better.
Baby it’s cold outside right now and soup is wanted by all. We tried the Tom Yum Hed soup, a spicy SE Asian mix that had my testers begging for the recipe. The Miso soup was another big winner, with a lovely kelp mushroom broth.
Small dishes had some winners. the Pot Stickers were golden ! I had to fight just to get one of them. The Boa Zi Buns hit the spot perfectly. The Bahn Mi Chay had the pickle recipe I’ve been searching for since having this sandwich at a local restaurant years ago.
The salad and curry sections had some very interesting looking choices but I did not try any. I have summer plans for some of those dishes.
The mains had a “fish” and chips that grabbed me. It is one of the dishes I loved the flavor of, it was good, really good. I’ll be serving the Jackfruit sliders for the Superbowl as part of my buffet.
There is a side dish, dips, pickles and spread set ion with many great looking choices. I will revisit many of the dip/pate recipes.
Desserts, now we are talking ! There were not enough recipes in this section for my sweet tooth. The peanut and black sesame dumplings where what we picked, we had all the ingredients. Wow, very unusual, very easy to make. There is a recipe for raw chocolate brownies that sound interesting to try someday.
The book ends with a selection of basic recipes to accompany the recipes. I really enjoyed the bright pictures and the fact that it was short and direct.

Everything I've made from this cookbook has been delicious! The salt & pepper oyster mushrooms were especially good. I only wish there were more photos, but otherwise it's a pretty perfect cookbook.

A special thank you to Pavilion Books and NetGalley for a complimentary reading copy, in exchange for an honest review.
THE FRESH VEGAN KITCHEN, Delicious Recipes for the Vegan and Raw Kitchen is a wonderful addition to your vegan shelf and sharing of good food.
A vegan, for many years, I devour good cookbooks containing all things vegan, and can see why David and Charlotte Baily have taken the London market by storm!
With irresistible dishes, and over 100 mouth-watering recipes, their new book is beautifully packaged, displayed with photography, and best of all good healthy and vegan cuisine.
The book includes informative sections of the benefits of eating raw foods, vegan cooking tips, and the sections: Breakfast, soups, small plates, street foods, salads, curries, and mains, sides, dips, desserts, pickles, spreads, treats, drinks, smoothies, among others.
I enjoyed the variety of recipes, including powerballs, easy to make ahead, as well as the kale crisps, black bean tofu, quinoa salad (which I eat daily; however, this offered a nice variation), among other treats.
A "must buy" for all vegan, vegetarians, foodies, and epicureans alike; with tons of dishes from exciting and exotic regions. Yum...and the tapas. All from the founders at Wholefood Heaven, with passion and years of experience, they bring the "best-of-the best."
Visit their website to learn how this award-winning duo quickly became increasingly involved in the vibrant street food scene, taking their healthy and high quality food to the masses via a beautifully converted Citroen H van.

Non Kindle edition, Picked this up in the local library but filled with unappealing recipes. The ones I did fancy needed exotic ingredients unable to find or kitchen equipment I dont possess. Have to say sadly the worst Vegan cookbook I have read so far,

Drawing its inspiration from a variety of cultures and cuisines, the recipes in this book are nevertheless heavy on the Asian inspiration calling for numerous rather exotic options that may be difficult to obtain freshly if far from an equipped Asian supermarket. Nevertheless, if willing to substitute (and you have a good source of tofu), these are all recipes that cook fast (but have quite a bit of prep sometimes). The photos were lovely but occasionally the instructions tell you to look it up online!
