Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Blueberry crumb cake

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      This was so good, I wish it didn’t take so long to bake and cool - and it is a very moist cake through and through - but it is a beautiful hint of sweetness! Could probably go without a little less blueberries as I was running out of space, but I got them all on there. I drizzled a little vanilla cream from a dying whip cream can on it and it was perfection.

  • Simple eggy scramble

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      This doesn’t cook for long so you don’t get a brown on it like others, but the tahini is super interesting and perfect in the fried rice!!

  • Simple eggy squares

    • alicevegan on December 17, 2023

      Pro tip: divide the batter between the wells of a greased muffin tray and cook for slightly less time for perfectly round breakfast muffin eggs :)

    • Churchim808 on September 12, 2025

      Not bad. Surprisingly eggy flavor. I also added a 1/4 tsp of ground mustard. The texture is very soft which takes some getting used to. Maybe I'll bake it longer next time. It made an easy healthy breakfast on two pieces of toast and veggie sausage.

    • NicoleBrown on December 13, 2025

      I had baked some sourdough English muffins the other day so i decided to try making these to go with. Pretty decent. No one is going to mistake them for an egg, but for a baked tofu square they have some nice seasonings. I thought the silken tofu texture was a nice change from when I’ve made these using extra firm, but I don’t know that I prefer it. Slathered some spicy hummus onto the English muffins + spinach. Served with a side of air fryer potato’s and homemade BBQ.

  • Basic soy curls

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      These are rehydrated, follow the recipe!

  • Tempeh chorizo

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      Didn’t have to steam the tempeh, so easy - almost cooked itself and tastes great

  • Cheddar cheesy sauce

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      Liked the doubled amount, easier than my other cheese and just as good. Didn’t seem like it needed more than a minute on the stove.

  • Tangy cashew cream

  • Harissa tahini vinaigrette

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      Don’t double batch, used Berbere powder instead and found it too powdery, added water. It was good, but only in small amounts.

  • Sunflower cilantro sauce

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      This was good. I like a richer/closer to sour cream version, but this worked well.

  • Romesco sauce

    • Margret on January 06, 2026

      I added breadcrumbs.

  • Tangy pinto beans

  • Green onion & potato frittata

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      EXCELLENT! Put a tiny amount of shreds on top before baking. A little bit of bacon-y flavor would be great addition inside, maybe tempeh bacon? Doubled it and put it in a 9x13 glass pan coated in a little avocado oil. Worked perfectly. Also used 3/4 of a frozen spinach package instead of fresh

  • Orange pecan date muffins

    • NicoleBrown on February 21, 2026

      Delicious! Orange flavor really comes through & I love dates. Whole family enjoyed. Will be putting these on my holiday bake list. Subbed out oil for aquafaba. 20 minutes was perfect for me. Turning halfway through.

  • Overnight French toast with vanilla berry sauce

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      Excellent. Didn’t manage to submerge the bread so some was more browned and some was more wet - all of it was good though and it was nice to have different bites. Made with strawberries - seemed the arrowroot worked better than cornstarch to thicken.

  • Couscous & roasted vegetable bowls

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      Such a nice meal and I didn’t even use beans and greens! Love how easy the couscous and roasted veggies are.

  • Peanut tempeh bowls with coconut rice

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      Excellent! DH loved the coconut rice. I thought the cucumber salad was the star - didn’t even need a sauce

  • Pepper steak soy curls

    • Churchim808 on July 23, 2025

      This is so good! I accidentally doubled the ginger but it tasted fine and not gingery at all. This is the squeeze bottle minced ginger so maybe it isn’t as strong. This book is for meal prep recipes and I will be making this one again and again. I prepped the soy curls the night before so it’s a super quick recipe.

  • Vegan fried rice

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      I make this one on repeat, everybody loves it! Obsessed, also loved the scramble in this. SO GOOD, makes a bunch, but def double. I could probably make this every single week!

  • Bigger is better vegetable lasagna

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      Have made this several times, everybody loves! Great lasagna! Wouldn’t hate a little bit of chopped field roast sausage mixed in, and fresh basil if I had it on hand. Thought I didn’t have zucchini and almost subbed steamed white sweet potato, but ended up not needing to do that.

  • Sheet pan nachos

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      I made the pinto beans and black beans with homemade beans, made chorizo tempeh, the cheesy sauce, and the cashew cream. It was so special! Could def see using the components with the breakfast burrito.

  • Soy curl fajitas

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      Didn’t realize the soy curls had to be hydrated before marinating. Doubled veg and i believe the soy curls, but made 1 1/2 batch of short grain brown rice.

  • Soy curl gyros

    • sherri_xcf6n4 on April 10, 2026

      This is so magical. One bag of dry soy curls is a double batch. Used pocketless pitas folded in half and really liked them. Bought the Tzatziki from PurpleCarrot. Baked for 15 minutes and then another 8 minutes. Gonna make these over and over.
