Anyone try recipes from the book "How it All Vegan?" I have it. I just haven't used it. Now that I'm on epicurious.com and chow.com and other food social networking sites I don't plan on buying another book. However, any feedback on this one?

Yes, many would think! However, cupcakes . . . they always seem so messy! The frosting is not distributed evenly. In order for the bottom part to have icing you either have to have a BIG MOUTH or break it up and smush it on top or something creative like that. The annoying wrapper adds more garbage to the world. They look like a bonafide mistake turned into a bakesale bonaza item. I never got into them. I haven't turned too many down, but I don't go searching for them.
Vegan bakers seem to be taking the cupcake to a new level of artistry, eh? I've seen many vegan cupcake blogs. I'll stick with biscotti

Typically we use "how it all vegan" and the other sarah kramer books for more casual shit, if you want to get fancu Veganomicon has a shitload of crazy gourmet recipes that take a bunch of time and like 100 dollars of ingredients. Good shit though. So far our favorite recipe as of late is potato-kale-enchiladas.
I just bought Veganomicon - it looks like a lot of good recipes, but I have to be in the mood to cook. I may be vegan, but I frequently eat very simply - I'm just as happy with peanutbutter on whole wheat bread plus an apple and a glass of soy milk. Another book by the same author is called Vegan with a Vengeance, and I've made quite a few recipes out of there. She wrote the Vegan Cupcakes take over the World cookbook, and there are coconut cupcakes in Vegan with a Vengeance that are really really good.
Tonight I'm eating some chick peas with olive oil and balsamic vinegar on them, and I'm going to go get some of the rice and lentils that I made and some spinach. I just mention this because people have expressed curiosity of what vegans eat.

I don't remember if you asked it in this thread or not, and I can't speak for anyone else, but no I do not eat honey.
I meant to ask in this thread, but I didn't. Thanks for the answer. I assumed that a vegan wouldn't eat honey, but that means no more wheat bread, which I guess is no big deal.
I can understand the animal rights angle on not eating the meat, but I don't see how drinking milk or eating cheese is harmful to animals.
The only way to get dairy products is by constantly impregnating a cow, or rather to make sure a cow is always lactating. They do this by impregnating the cow. When the calf is born if it's a male the calf is destined to be veal. Some vegan animal rights activists do not like to eat dairy because it supports the veal industry. Here's a little more on it I just found http://www.care2.com/news/member/149242335/640095 I was a vegetarian from 1991 to 1997, but this didn't really click until this past year. I was listening to compassionatecooks.com podcast, and that's when I understood it.

I do love animals. But I guess my love for cheese just outranks that. Seriously. I fucking love cheese.
I have dogs instead of children... I'd rather ruin my carpet than my life.

What happens to dairy cows when they are done producing milk? They are not turned out to pasture to live out a peaceful retirement for the rest of their natural lives as a reward for their faithful service. Consuming products that come from animals gives support to their use as a product.
Crazy_Mary, not all wheat bread contains honey. It is easy to make without honey. (You're talking whole wheat right?) Bread is not a hard thing to make.
edit: I loved cheese too. A lot. But my need to not contribute to suffering outweighed my love of one food product.

Jane, I understand your feelings as to why you became a vegan, however, this post comes off as somewhat judgmental to people who aren't! I believe that the foods people chose to eat is a very personal thing. animals have always been "products" though not to extent they are now perhaps. some people do not have an ethical problem with that. As with all ethical issues, there's no right answer.

I'm sorry you thought it was judgemental. My first sentence was related to Moxie asking what harm does eating cheese or milk do to animals. Perhaps I should have been more specific, because it was my intent to provide information, not be judgemental. I probably should have written the following in response to the question of why eating dairy harms animals: "The reason eating dairy harms animals, is because after the cows are done being dairy cows, they are killed for meat just like other cows".
However I stand by my statement that consuming animals is treating it as a product. That is not a judgement. That is a fact. Each person has to decide for themselves whether they are okay with consuming animals, based on what they know and as you say that is a personal decision.

I had a boca burger and pita bread with hummus for lunch today as part of my efforts to eat a bit healthier, and maybe lose 15-20 pounds. While I don't think I will be becoming a vegetarian because I like meat too much, it definitely is possible to the naysayers to become a vegetarian-- there is a lot of good stuff out there to eat. Boca burgers have a completely different texture all on their own, but if you eat them without the mindset that this is a burger "replacement" and accept it as just a healthy snack that actually has a good taste to it, then it's definitely doable.

Not trying to come off preachy, just responding on a few reasons *I* have been vegan for the past 6 years.
1. I got on a health kick/weight loss/work out regiment and simply ate right to the point I weeded meat out of my diet about 6 years ago. I could bring up preachy stats, like the average vegans cholesterol is under half of the average meat eaters, but you get the picture.
2. I think eating dead animals is gross. Not bashing meat eaters, but I think it's pretty sick.
3. We are bred to eat Burgers and Fries from McDonalds. When you're vegan you're entire diet is stuff you would never think of trying. I guess it's kind of forcing your self to try new items of food and coming up with new dishes. Eating is always something new. It is kind of adventurous!
4. Bovine Growth Hormone. Look it up. I'm not making out propaganda, but all signs point to it being a link to cause for breast/colon cancer among diabetes, etc. Banned in most countries, just not America... capitalism baby! Make them cows fat so we save money and give you cancer!
5. I feel better. I feel a lot better being vegan. Healthier, more lively, I dunno how to explain it. I just have a lot more energy.
Hope this didn't come off preachy... that's not my intent. Just saying a few reasons why I am vegan.
You know what's cool, though? We are very time and money conscious, right? Do you know how easy it is to cook beans? I didn't realize this until a couple weeks ago, and I had one of those "I could have had a V8!" type moments. As in Aha!
I soak my white beans overnight. How long does it take to measure out the beans, look for rocks, and then cover with water? 3 minutes tops. Also, next day if I'm not ready to cook them in the morning . . . by golly I'll cook them later, just change the water - maybe 2 minutes of devoted time. Then when I'm ready to cook them I fill a pot with water, and cook them for 2 hours. During these 2 hours I'm reading, looking on the computer, knitting etc. So, overall expenditure of time needed to be near stove while beans are cooking - maybe 3 minutes. Once the beans are done cooking, putting all the ingredients in a food processor (spices, garlic, olive oil etc) takes approximately 10 minutes. Quite the money and time savor.
