Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food: 65 Everyday Meal Ideas for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with Over 150 Great-tasting, Down-home Recipes

Product Details

A born food-lover, raised in California on “the best Mexican food in the country” and her father’s “traditional Southern soul food,” Alicia C. Simpson couldn’t imagine giving up her favorite dishes to become vegan. Animal-free food might be healthier, but could it match the tastes of home—like fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, or a bowl of chili? Three years after Alicia took the vegan plunge, Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food answers that question with a resounding “yes!”

Here is the essential cookbook for any of America’s more than 6 million vegans who miss the down-home tastes they remember (or want to try), or for vegetarians and even meat-eaters who want to add more plant-based foods to their diets, but don’t know where to start. Comfort-seeking cooks will find:

• Easy-to-prepare, animal-free versions of classics like Spicy Buffalo Bites, Ultimate Nachos, Baked Ziti and more
• 65 delicious combinations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with flavors from around the world, like “Chinese Take-In” or “Tijuana Torpedo”
• Everything you need to know to start your vegan pantry, and why being vegan is easier, less expensive, and more delicious than you might think.

With spirit and style, Alicia shows just how easy—yes, and comforting—vegan food can be.

A-MAZING!!!!! OH, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS BOOK! - Shanen Marquita Smith - Atlanta suburb, GA
Holy smackers this is a good book!!! Flavor-full and cruelty-free.

Where do I begin??? I started out with the Sweet Potato Waffle recipe because I have complete and absolute love for pancakes and waffles, but oh my god...the warm 'melt-in-your-mouth' goodness of the cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar, and sweet potato was almost too much. But when I took the first bite, I just closed my eyes and smiled a deep, heartfelt smile of sheer satisfaction. Adding a small pat of Earth Balance vegan 'butter' just about took it over the top. I couldn't believe I made them. Fantastic.

Then I decided to try the Fool-Your-Friends Tacos. I figured "Meatless taco? Yeah right." So I began to prepare the recipe. The easiest taco recipe ever -- and QUICK! Less than 15 minutes, they were ready to eat. I never told my husband, the consummate carnivore, that the tacos contained no meat. He took one bite and his eyes rolled in delight. He hadn't even swallowed, but he couldn't stop talking about what he was chewing. He wolfed it down and then I decided to come clean. I revealed to him that he had just scarfed a 'vegan taco'. His expression sank at the deception. And, with a food-stained mustache, he conceded, "That was a darn good taco. Make me 2 more." Convinced I was on to something, I decided to prepare and sample one myself, and boy, let me tell you...Taco Bell just lost one of its most enthusiastic supporters. Forget Fool-Your-Friends Tacos. I call them Fool-Yourself Tacos because you'll never believe you ate a taco that good without having to 'run for the border'. She [the author] says you'll lick the plate. And after wiping the sour cream and taco sauce from my forehead, I can say that I surely did.
