Notes about Recipes in this book

• Mayonnaise

  • lmhester on April 10, 2023

    This is actually quite good!

• Heavy cashew cream

  • crandall57 on August 02, 2025

    This was easy to make. I used oat milk. I used the quick method (p. 35) to soak the cashews.

• Hemp Parm

  • lmhester on March 26, 2023

    Delicious sprinkled on pasta dishes. I accidentally left out the oil, but didn’t miss it.

• Creamy Buffalo sauce

  • skvalentine on February 04, 2023

    Delicious sauce! Served over roasted cauliflower.

• Classsic herby ranch

  • christineakiyoshi on March 03, 2022

    This is fantastic! I used 2 tablespoons of dried dill and 1/2 cup of fresh parsley.

• The marinade

  • skvalentine on May 09, 2022

    Absolutely delicious on tofu!

• Pickled red onions

  • yobittles on September 11, 2024

    These are very good, but we use way less sugar than called for.

• Spicy maple breakfast sausage

  • christineakiyoshi on October 03, 2023

    Flavors are good but doesn’t hold together well. Will use as crumbles but look for a recipe that uses vital wheat gluten in the future.

• Walnut chorizo

  • lmhester on March 26, 2023

    This is smoky and delicious! Used it on the nachos recipe from this cookbook (outstanding!) and plan to use the leftovers on a loaded baked potato.

  • NicoleBrown on December 27, 2024

    Wow! This is delicious & honestly very easy to throw together once I collected all the ingredients. So far I added mine into her chili recipe. Plan to do the nachos next! Even my meat loving husband gave it the thumbs up!

• Tofu scramble

  • katiesue28 on October 04, 2024

    This was my first time making a tofu scramble, and I thought this was a great base! I used some leftovers in my fridge (black beans, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and red bell pepper) as the 2 cups of cooked veggies. I recommend adding some additional smoked paprika and other seasonings to fit your taste. Paired with slice avocado, salsa, and homemade tortillas, this scramble made great veggie tacos!

  • NicoleBrown on February 13, 2025

    Delicious! The blend of spices really makes this. Will repeat!

• Chili con chili

  • NicoleBrown on December 27, 2024

    I think this is my new favorite chili recipe! Some subs: unsweetened cocoa in place of cacao. Skipped ancho chile powder. Regular salt instead of pink Himalayan. Soy sauce instead of vegemite. I also added some of her walnut chorizo recipe into mine after the fact. Very delicious! Love the addition of the lentils, too!

• Sriracha cauliflower walnut lettuce cups

  • crandall57 on March 27, 2024

    These were delicious! I ut the recipe in 1/2. I didn't mix the cauliflower and walnuts with the sauce, but served the sauce on the side. Easy to put together. Will make these again.

• Nacho average nachos

  • lmhester on March 26, 2023

    WOW! If you’d told me two months ago that I could make nachos without cheese or ground beef, I would have thought you lacked taste buds. But this recipe takes things to the next level. Everyone loved this. Will definitely do this one again.

  • NicoleBrown on December 29, 2024

    I had my doubts about the queso recipe, but was pleasantly surprised! I don’t own a Vitamix. I’m also currently not the type of person who is going to pre-plan soaking cashews. But I remembered reading a tip about boiling cashews for 10 minutes instead from a different vegan book so I took that route. After that I blended everything on high speed for 3 minutes as stated in the recipe and it came together quite nicely! Not grainy! Taste is delicious as well. Will repeat!

• Buffalo chik'n tacos with kale & avocado-lime ranch slaw

  • christineakiyoshi on March 03, 2022

    So easy to make and delicious!

• Cauliflower Marbella

  • avogel on May 17, 2022

    This is great served with mashed potatoes. Acidic, bright, and flavorful.

  • lmhester on April 10, 2023

    Loved the flavor of this but would cut back on the amount of prunes as it was a little too rich. I’d use about half as many and cut them in smaller pieces.

• Bae'con mac & cheezy

  • SenseiHeidi on October 29, 2024

    This ticks all of the creamy comfort food boxes. I used 1 tablespoon Diamond Kosher salt in place of the Himalayan pink salt. I added 1 teaspoon mesquite liquid smoke in place of the Smoke Signal. To me this was more reminiscent of American style Alfredo sauce rather than the typical Cheddar flavored Mac 'n Cheez.

• Smoky jambalaya

  • Dcampos on February 12, 2023

    This was very good. I used field roast spicy chipotle sausage.

• Gochujang jackfruit noodle bowl

  • NicoleBrown on February 18, 2025

    Decent, but not my favorite. I picked up jackfruit on a whim at the store. It’s fine, but it kind of felt like it was just…there? Sauces for this dish are really good! If I were to make it again I would add tofu & some chopped peanuts on top.

• Unbelievably vegan protein burger

  • crandall57 on May 28, 2024

    These were very tasty. However, the gluten free rolls we served them on were too hard, and the burgers smooshed out of the roll. They were good crumbled up in fried potatoes and black beans with an egg on top for breakfast. I might put some in a taco or with tomatoes and pasta.

• Smoky hold-the-ham collards

  • skvalentine on March 04, 2025

    Great meatless version of southern collards.

• Skillet cornbread

  • lolako on November 11, 2025

    Made for LILY dinner. I made this cornbread to make croutons for the caesar salad from Cooking Up a Storm. The croutons were very good, but could spend a little less time in the oven. The cornbread was just okay. It is so hard to find a really good vegan cornbread recipe. I used the avocado oil as suggested. The cornbread was just too greasy. I also used the gluten free flour. I loved the technique of heating the pan first with oil. I wasn't interested in eating the cornbread after taking a slice for croutons, so I froze it and will use for thanksgiving cornbread stuffing. I'm not going to give up on this recipe completely. I will try making with canola oil and regular flour. Maybe this will make a more palatable cornbread.

• Chocolate ganache

  • crandall57 on August 02, 2025

    This is very tasty. The chocolate started to seize when I added the "cream" and oat milk, so I heated it a bit. Don't microwave the "cream" and oat milk too long, or it will curdle. I used oat milk.
