Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

One-Dish Vegan is a slim book but is packed with recipes and ideas. It's refreshing to find a vegan cookbook that doesn't rely solely on beans or meat-substitutes as a protein source or the main component of a dish. As a busy person, I really appreciate the "one dish" aspect of this cookbook. The dishes are nicely balanced and most combine several items such as a protein, vegetables and a carbohydrate. There are many options for gluten-free and soy-free meals. The chapters are divided into sections such as Soups, Main-Dish Salads, Stovetop Simmers, Chili (there are lots of chili recipes - the author has another entire book devoted to chili), Sautes and Stir Fries, Pasta, and Oven to Table. I'm enjoying the versatility of the recipes, including many recipes for sauces that rely on something other than cashew cream for the base. The "Cheddah Sauce" uses potato, carrot, broth, nutritional yeast, non-dairy milk and other seasonings, and it's delicious. Many of the recipes are quite quick to assemble, such as the Cauliflower Comfort Bake. Some of others that I tried this weekend and enjoyed were Greek Gyro Salad, Roasted Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad, and Fusilli with Creamy Summer Vegetable Sauce (which uses white beans as a base for the sauce - delicious!). I'm looking forward to trying more and more of these recipes. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is, for me, there are too many recipes for soups and chilies. I find those two items very easy to make vegan so was hoping for more casserole-type ideas. All in all though, I recommend this book.
