Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chickee-style seitan

  • christineakiyoshi on December 12, 2019

    Yummy! This came together nicely. Don't be afraid to make it. Easy and delicious!

  • christineakiyoshi on December 12, 2019

    Easy to make, taste and texture are great!

• Smokin' hot dates

  • bfurrow on September 24, 2025

    Made these for Rosh Hashanah. They were interesting! Sweet and savory and spicy.

• Hoppin' John bowl

  • christineakiyoshi on April 29, 2019

    I make this every year for New Year's Day. The spicy tahini dressing is to die for. You can use the leftovers as a salad dressing.

  • sayeater on December 31, 2021

    I have made this several years for New Year's Day and share the recipe with everyone. It's such a great combo of ingredients and that Red-hot tahini sauce should be a fridge staple. Make this recipe!

  • sandiegoveg on January 07, 2024

    Only made the peas and sauce. Swapped thyme for oregano in the peas and kale for collards. Used 1 T of Frank’s to 1/3 C tahini. Had to add a lot of water to make it loose enough. Served with brown rice.

• Buffalo cauliflower

  • christineakiyoshi on April 29, 2019

    meh

• Cheeseburger pizza

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    I've made this and it is a bit of work, but worth it! So delicious!

  • Veganbaksels on January 12, 2020

    This is so good! We love it and so did our guests!

• Warm artichoke dip

  • christineakiyoshi on April 29, 2019

    Have made this multiple times and it is quite good!

• Philly cheesesteak casserole

  • christineakiyoshi on March 05, 2021

    Too heavy for me but my daughter loved it!

  • CharlaChicarla on November 02, 2023

    This was awesome! I kept forgetting to take a picture for this recipe because I was just so excited to eat it. I loved the “chickee style Seitan” and the cheese sauce. The Seitan has a good texture, and a nice flavor (I cheated and used Better Than Bouillon No Beef). It’s nice that the cheese sauces in this book aren’t all the same. I’ll definitely make this again.

• Peanut butter brownies

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    These are easy to make, yet look fancy. I've had many compliments on them!

  • christineakiyoshi on April 29, 2019

    These are good but the peanut butter is hard to swirl, so there is a full layer of peanut butter--not a bad thing at all!

  • louie734 on April 05, 2022

    Way good. Made exactly as described. Baked 20 minutes in glass, pulling when still rather gooey in the middle but set for the outer 1/3 of the pan. Needed to completely cool before cutting. When cold they are like fudge; at room temp, a bit sticky/gooey. Super decadent - cut into small squares. Nobody will know they're vegan.

• General Tso's seitan

  • ccav on February 20, 2022

    Used store bought seitan strips, a little tough so would be worth making seitan recipe in book.

• Curry pork fried rice

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    Super yummy, though Japanese curry powder was hard to find so I had to make my own blend.

• Peking portobellos

  • Acarroll on November 22, 2021

    I don't even like mushrooms and this was SO GOOD! I forgot the brown sugar but I don't think it really needed it.

• Tofu short ribs with gingery mashed root vegetables

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    So comforting and yummy! And easy to make.

• Broccoli strata

  • CharlaChicarla on November 02, 2023

    I added vegan cheese on top. Still wanted something, I think I’ll add some soaked cashews to the custard next time. But it was pretty good.

• Arancini with almond cheese

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    Surprisingly easy to make, and impresses the heck out of people!

• Cauliflower tikka masala

  • christineakiyoshi on April 29, 2019

    I have made this a half dozen times and everyone loves it!

• Blackened scrambled tofu and garlicky polenta grits

  • christineakiyoshi on April 29, 2019

    just OKAY

• Creole lentil loaf

  • patioweather on March 11, 2022

    As I was making this, I was thinking "this is a lot of work just to eat a lentil loaf." Well, it was worth it. A room full of omnivores ate the heck out of it.

• Snuggy bunnies (Carrots in a blanket)

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    Super easy and great for entertaining.

• Super simple sautéed cabbage

  • anu_luke20 on March 18, 2026

    Very basic... but tastes fine.

• Super fancy roasted carrots and cabbage wedges

  • Lalamzo on December 17, 2025

    Yum! I subbed extra fresh dill for tarragon and used dried thyme instead of fresh.

• Marinated potatoes with fresh dill

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    One of my go-to super easy dishes for potlucks and picnics, it's packed with flavour!

• Devilish potatoes

  • bfurrow on April 20, 2025

    I was questioning this recipe but I shouldn’t have. They’re really good!

• So veggie pastitsio

  • sherri_xcf6n4 on May 02, 2026

    Loved this recipe, it does make a beautiful dish of food. It isn’t very saucy, I can see why the recipe in the cookbook puts some marinara looking sauce underneath on the plate. That is a great idea. Worthy of a holiday meal.

• Classic carrot cake

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    Even vegetable haters will love this yummy cake!

  • SenseiHeidi on April 15, 2020

    Yummy! A very moist carrot cake with a delicious, tangy frosting. If using bottled lemon juice in frosting only use 1 Tbsp and increase almond milk to 3 Tbsp. A hint for the future: try making this as a (grated) zucchini cake or grated apple cake.

• Charoset

  • bfurrow on April 20, 2025

    Delicious!

• Vegetable broth

  • jhallen on August 12, 2024

    This was an easy and tasty vegetable broth recipe. Good to eat/drink straight as well as in a soup.

• Mexican Caesar salad

  • Lglen on June 16, 2018

    One of my favourite salads! Make this!

• Tomatillo posole with pintos and avocado

  • Megoola on October 02, 2018

    I only used half the jalepeño and it was quite spicy. I crumbled several street taco size corn tortillas to add more body and blunt some of the heat.

• Elvis cupcakes

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    These take a bit of prep work, but the combination of flavours is unbelievably yummy!

• Cinnamon-raisin swirl bread

  • Lglen on April 10, 2020

    So so good. Partner wants this “all the time”.

  • louie734 on January 10, 2022

    Very satisfying dough to work with and end result. I subbed out 50g flour for whole wheat; brushed the swirl with aquafaba instead of coconut oil, and added 2 t all purpose flour to the cinnamon sugar to prevent swirl separation. For the glaze I used maple syrup instead of agave. The bread is just the right amount of sweetness and spice. Didn't get the rise I expected - didn't allow enough rise time after shaping? Or should've used an 8x4" pan? Some recipes start with 3 cups of flour - increase the amount of dough? (I think cheated myself on the 2nd rise time, too.) This is practically perfect; just need to work out the kinks.

• Pumpkin cornbread

  • Lglen on June 16, 2018

    This is one of my go to’s - it’s really great! Good for a potluck too.

  • earthflesh on February 14, 2024

    My whole family enjoyed this. Many comments on the website suggest baking it longer so it sets. We were successful with 5–8 additional minutes to the max recommended cook time.

• Classic veggie burgers

  • kmcdonell on June 18, 2018

    Taste great and freeze well.

• Green bean casserole

  • Churchim808 on December 01, 2018

    If you have a Vitamix, you don’t need to soak at all. This recipe is amazing! Everyone loved it.

  • SenseiHeidi on May 24, 2026

    Delicious! Very creamy and savory. The kids were not interested, but I had a large portion. I did not use a casserole dish, just put my oven safe skillet in the oven. The casserole developed a thin browned skin / crust on top because I wanted to top it with tater tots (instead of the French fried onions) that I baked separately to get them extra crispy. If this happens to you, just stir it back into the casserole mixture and the crust will soften up again.

• Epic eggplant lasagna

  • christineakiyoshi on September 02, 2019

    Delicious and love the vegan ricotta.

  • CharlaChicarla on May 22, 2024

    I liked this! The eggplant was good, and the sauce was great! Ricotta was okay, but I think I’ll try using Kite Hill ricotta next time.

• Big, soft chocolate chip cookies

  • christineakiyoshi on September 03, 2019

    Working on making lots of different vegan chocolate chip cookies to find the best. These are easy to make and very tasty. They are very similar to the real thing. The dough seems a little oily so I was worried that they would spread a lot, but they came out perfect.

  • louie734 on February 16, 2022

    Didn't love these - too soft, greasy crumb, spread too much even after refrigerating dough before baking. After completely cool were barely able to pick up without breaking. Want something with a slightly more cakelike crumb.

• Cranberry–spice oatmeal cookies

  • christineakiyoshi on November 05, 2019

    Hubby loved these! I will say that the cookies seemed inconsistent from a texture perspective because the ingredients don't fully mix, specifically the coconut oil.

• Ginger apple pie

  • NoaBC on November 24, 2019

    This was great (although I can't vouch for the pastry yet - I used store-bought). It is a little spicy at first because of the ginger but is a lovely twist on the apple pie and tastes absolutely amazing the next day. I would recommend baking in the morning to let the flavours settle before serving in the evening.

• Double batch chickpea cutlets

  • christineakiyoshi on December 26, 2019

    Delicious and nice addition to Thanksgiving or Christmas meal

• Candy cane fudge cookies

  • LFL on May 15, 2021

    3.5 stars. The coconut oil was hard to work with and the cookies were barely minty. We used regular chocolate chips instead of mint chocolate (as Isa says can be done). We only put a single piece of candy cane on top because that’s all that fit but we ground up the rest of the candy canes and put the candy cane powder in the dough. Candy cane size/weight is not specified and the flavor only hinted at mint. The cookies also aren’t very sweet. These are unremarkable but pretty decent chocolate-chocolate chip cookies. Some relatives really liked them but if I ever make these again I will either use mint chocolate or add mint extract.

• Super simple cornbread

  • Acarroll on January 08, 2022

    Super easy to make, but it turned out dry and needed more salt and sweetness.

• Fancy/not fancy mushroom gravy

  • patioweather on March 10, 2022

    This makes an ENORMOUS amount of gravy. Use a big pan.

• Grilled tofu with peanut sauce

  • CharlaChicarla on September 06, 2022

    I LOVE this peanut sauce! I’ve tried a few different peanut sauce recipes, but this one has the perfect balance of sweetness and vinegar-iness and peanuts. Will be making again!

  • CharlaChicarla on September 06, 2022

    Also, I had to double the marinade for the tofu. Would do less oil in future.

• Classic Moskowitz latkes

  • bfurrow on December 31, 2024

    Easy, delicious, and passed the test with my Jewish Omni partner.

• Kasha varnishkes

  • bfurrow on December 31, 2024

    This recipe is alright. Better fresh and makes enough to fill 9x13.
