Jazzy Vegetarian Classics: Vegan Twists on American Family Favorites

Very nice cookbook very easy instructions I watch her show and the ingredients you can easily find in any store. Definitely were five stores or 10

Love her recipes, looking for less tofu/soy use. Will get a new of her newer books for this.

The recipes are easy to prepare with great instructions.

I am not a vegan, and have no plans to convert, but I am incorporating more plant-based meals into my diet. My first step was to acquire some plant-based cookbooks, and this is one of the 4 or 5 I purchased recently. I have watched The Jazzy Vegetarian on PBS, and I appreciate the less preachy approach of the host/author. The book is nice, with good pictures, information, and instructions. The recipes are ultra-easy. However, I find the recipes just too lean for my palette. For people who need to drastically cut salt, fat, and sugar, this book might be a good resource. But I am a passionate cook, and these recipes, as written, just don't do it for me. When I increased my plant-based eating (approximately 2 out of 3 meals per day plant-based, or weekday plant-based, and weekend non plant-based), I lost about 10 lbs in a month without worrying at all about fat, sugar, and salt. Fortunately, I don't have health conditions that require a drastic diet approach, so I have the option to be a little more decadent in my approach to plant-based eating and cooking. I also dislike the overuse of dried Italian seasoning in her recipes. Yuck. The dessert section of the book is the most promising, but I don't enjoy dessert so much. With some significant recipe tinkering, I will use the book, but it isn't my favorite.

Simple veggie recipes.

One of the reasons I walked away from box restaurants and working for them as a Chef is because of the lack of Foresight and Imagination when it came to Vegetarians and Vegans. Both of which are treated as a plague and people to be dealt with and pushed out the door. The standard is broccoli, carrots pasta, rice if either of the two are available.If a professional Chef doesn't see the opportunity and sales increase in this they are either Fools or two set in their ways to care because they are throwing good money after bad.Most Vegans and Vegetarians know some of their food will be a little higher priced then normal and most are willing to pay the price and as a Chef you do n ot review this or her other book you are being foolish.

There are so many different and interesting ways to cook. I have looked for a vegetarian cook book with recipes that called for ordinary ingredients which many people would have on hand. If they did not have them on hand they are easy to find. The instructions are clearly stated and there are many photographs to show the outcome of the recipe. Every cuisine has its own special techniques and I would recommend this book for someone who wants to begin cooking vegetarian cuisine. Even seasoned vegetarian home cooks will appreciate this book..

Gave this to my grandson and his girlfriend as they love to try veg. and vegan foods and like to cook together. They leafed through it and were very eager to use it.

Great vegan cookbook.

Great book
