Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Minted pea ricotta

    • foodgloriousfood on November 01, 2023

      Lovely! I used whole milk ricotta from Trader Joe’s as that is what I had. Although the recipe called for Kite Hill vegan ricotta. I didn’t have enough peas so added some frozen baby lima beans and simmered them to soften before chopping them. The lima beans were of course a bit coarser than the peas and I will make this again using all peas although the flavor of the favas was good in it. I tasted it before and after adding the roasted garlic cloves and they made a world of difference. Lovely bruschetta topping. Can’t wait for dinner tonight. We are having it with a grilled tuna Niçoise salad (barefoot contessa)

  • King oyster scallops with shaved asparagus and corona butter

    • christineakiyoshi on October 23, 2021

      Wow, talk about delicious! Will make it again tonight!

  • Lion's mane steaks

    • christineakiyoshi on October 16, 2021

      OMG! This is amazing. Will be going to farmer’s market tomorrow for more mushrooms!

    • crandall57 on October 10, 2023

      Delicious! Very "meaty." Will make this again. And again!

  • Banh mi with lemongrass tofu and ginger aioli

    • Acarroll on May 12, 2022

      This was delicious. The tofu was really flavorful after I marinated it overnight. The tofu, aioli, and pickled vegetables came together perfectly and had the perfect amount of spice/creaminess/crunch.

  • Kickass plant-based reuben on dark rye

    • christineakiyoshi on November 27, 2021

      This is outstanding! The flavors of each component stand out. The seitan is huge, so be ready for leftovers.

    • Acarroll on June 05, 2022

      So good. The homemade seitan was to die for. The caramelized onions are absolutely necessary. Yum!

  • Wicked-good tom kha soup

    • christineakiyoshi on March 01, 2020

      So good! Next time, I will reduce the coconut milk by one can and use extra veggie broth. I added extra Thai bird chilies. Will also add vegan nam prik pao jam to kick up the spice and add some earthiness

  • Potato and cauliflower bisque

    • NicoleBrown on November 08, 2025

      Delicious + incredibly smooth & creamy! Boiled my cashew for 15 minutes. Otherwise followed instructions as written.

  • Strozzapreti with cauliflower Mornay, mushrooms, and kale

    • Bunny55 on January 11, 2023

      We found this recipe to be quite dry, the sauce too thick and quite bland.

  • Loaded baked potato bar

    • Hannaha100 on June 01, 2020

      My family liked the mix and match premise. I found the combination slightly strange but it worked really well. I roasted cauliflower and mushrooms and then used veggie chicken chunks instead of sausage. Halved the cheese sauce and that was plenty, we had leftovers. Swapped the cashews for pine nuts (had just over quarter cup and just over a half cup of milk). This needed nutribullet, still a little grainy after processor. Would make again. M1 particularly enjoyed this - baked beans on the side.

  • Char siu sauce

    • Acarroll on November 11, 2021

      Delicious sauce! Very complex flavor and perfect amount of heat. I didn't have beet juice so I used a Ruby Roots drink instead with a spoonful of beet powder. Made with pork, but I want to try the sauce with tofu next!

  • Strawberry rhubarb cobbler

    • ShrillCat on June 15, 2026

      It’s a drink! Not a baked dessert!

  • Wicked healthy cheese sauce

    • NicoleBrown on May 17, 2025

      Of all the vegan “cheese” sauces I’ve made/tried so far, this one is my favorite. My husband (very much not vegan) was even eating it plain with chips! New go to. I subbed sweet potatoes for butternut squash. I didn’t bother soaking my cashews since I have a Vitamix. Everything worked out great!

  • Sriracha Russian dressing
