This is such a great cookbook

This is a wonderful cookbook. The recipes might seem different or difficult, but they really aren't. I looked through the book many times before trying some of the recipes. We have now tried several and they have all been wonderful! The recipes use fresh, flavorful ingredients which result in delicious food. I know there are many great new vegan cookbooks out... I have them all. But some of them have the same recipes, only bland. In this book, the food seems balanced and just comes to life. It's not what you would expect from a "30 Minute" cookbook. There are many tips on how to expand most recipes into a more gourmet meal. My children have even enjoyed the meals I have prepared. I made a healthier version of "Ramen Noodles" from the book and they have loved it! I can make theirs plain, like the recipe is written, or add veggies and extra lime to mine... everyone is happy! I hope more people will get this book. It's just as good, if not better, than the similar books with more reviews. Enjoy!

Best Cookbook for Quick Vegan Meals!

Even if you're not vegan, you NEED this cookbook. Why? Because Reinfeld and Murray have created a masterful medley of recipes that anyone, no matter their tastes, can enjoy. The recipes in THE 30-MINUTE VEGAN are quick, easy, and delicious. So delicious, in fact, that vegans and non-vegans alike can enjoy them and know they're eating healthy without even a hint of that stereotypical "health food" taste! I have had this book for only a few days and am already completely attached to it. I continue to try new recipes from it daily and haven't been disappointed. Most of the ingredients are already on hand in my house, or can easily be found at local markets, farmer's markets, and co-ops. Other high points of the book are the authors' frequent inclusion of quinoa and seitan, two things which older vegetarian and vegan cookbooks tend to overlook. Several interesting and delicious-looking raw food recipes can also be found, giving yet another dimension to this already amazing book. Whether you're a vegetarian, an vegan, or an omnivore, I highly recommend giving this book a try. It will open your eyes to great new flavor combinations, easy recipes, and ingredients you may not have thought to put together before. THE 30-MINUTE VEGAN is a definite winner!

Easy/Quick Vegan recipes

I'm just learning to cook Vegan food and this is the first cookbook where every recipe I've tried has turned out and been really good.

Vegan Delicious!

The 30-Minute Vegan showed up at my local bookstore and I immediately bought it and tried a recipe from it that evening--we were not disappointed! (I also own Vegan Fusion--another wonderful cookbook by Mark Reinfeld.) My first recipe, The Seitan Curry Bowl was wonderful and full of fragrant spices and veggies that combined to make a superb meal. The Vegan Ranch Dressing will not disappoint as it is creamy and flavorful enough to be a stand-in for any non-vegan ranch recipe. Also delightful and yummy--the Mushroom-Onion Gravy. This is our new go-to gravy recipe! Other recipes we've tried and loved: Tuna-Free Tempeh Salad--wow--what a great flavor and texture this recipe offers; Fajitas Bonitas--terrific! Living up to its title, these creative vegan dishes can really be made in 30 minutes--and are all delicious. The authors also offer serving suggestions (to round out the meals) as well as variations in making the recipes offering alternatives for ingredients and such. As you explore the cookbook, there are unique and tasty raw dishes to try as well--for instance: Live Macadamia Nut-Ricotta Veggie Towers--yum! I can say with confidence that I have this cookbook nearest to me most evenings when I feel I need a quick vegan meal that offer both flavor and speed. I highly recommend this amazing vegan cookbook!

A Must-Have Recipe Book!

As soon as I heard the title, The 30 Minute Vegan, I fell in love with this book. As with any great page-turner, I settled into a comfy chair and read through it from cover to cover. Every recipe beckoned to me, and just reading through the ingredients, I knew that these were going to be some very impressive dishes. Discovering a book filled with 175 mouth-watering recipes that could be made in 30 minutes or less was like a dream come true. If I could prepare great-tasting, satisfying, hearty vegan meals in much less time than I was accustomed to spending in the kitchen, then The 30 Minute Vegan would be a godsend. But where to begin? Because I happened to have some nice, juicy ripe mangos on hand, I started with the Live Mango Gazpacho Soup. While most gourmet raw food dishes are time consuming (all that soaking, chopping, dehydrating, etc.), and high in fat from nuts, seeds, and avocado, this delightful little soup turned out to be a wonderful surprise! It's actually simple to prepare and made for a sensational low-fat summertime dish. As I have a garden full of mint, I substituted it for the cilantro called for in the recipe, and it blended quite nicely with the lime juice and mangoes. That's one of the things I love about The 30 Minute Vegan: Unlike most other cookbooks, the way the recipes are presented, you are actually encouraged and inspired to add your own culinary creativity. I love that feeling of freedom. I wasn't afraid to experiment on the first go-round with any recipe. The authors made me feel like I couldn't mess it up. The Monk Bowl's, "Zen simplicity," as it is described in the book, is also co-author Mark Reinfeld's favorite meal to prepare. So I couldn't resist trying such an enlightened and inspired recipe. It's made with quinoa, which is noted for containing more high-quality protein than any other grain. I love it's lighter-than-brown-rice consistency, although this dish would be wonderful with any kind of rice, too. I chose to use roasted tempeh instead of tofu, (one of the suggested variations on this recipe), and added sliced red bell pepper and edamame to the mix of broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. Served with nutritional yeast, soy sauce, flax seed oil, and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds, the lightly-steamed veggies and fluffy quinoa made for a hearty and satisfying meal. I think that the next time I make this dish, I'll try it with the peanut sauce suggested as another variation of this recipe. I was thrilled to see that a simplified version of the prize-winning recipe from last year's Most Remarkable Vegan Recipe Contest was thoughtfully included in The 30 Minute Vegan. Live Un-Stir-Fry with Cauliflower Rice was as fun to prepare as it was vibrantly eye-appealing and palate-pleasing. The cauliflower "rice" really fooled my taste buds, and the spicy vegetable dressing had just the right balance of sweetness and piquancy. Extremely helpful sidebars are peppered throughout the book: "Quicker and Easier," "
