Customer Reviews

wonderful anarchic vegan cookbook
This is an amazing little book full of anecdotes, quotes, some quite macabre illustrations as well as lots of fun ones. The recipes are very, very good too and although American measurements etc.( it's workable ) I now know what 'chipotle' and ' seitan ' is as there's info at the beginning.There's also a recipe for dog biscuits - really - and remedies for coughs and sore throats. As a 50 something i'm passing on the suggested music to go with each recipe :- here's examples,Dehumanization Roast page 50, music- Necro Schizma-Erupted Evil demo ( 1989 ) see what I mean ? the recipe actually is excellent - a vegan meat loaf or roast.
I love this recipe title -Eric the Reds Militant Vegan Tofu Marinade. Tofu Marinade doesn't seem to pair up well with Eric the Red somehow !
Every Vegan should own and love this book. I do. However, if you're easily offended or strait laced, it might not be for you !

Smeggin Brilliant.
Deserves to be left lots of happy reviews... Greatest cookbook I've ever had, hands down... ever.

An infinite number of amazing recipes (each one with its own recommended death metal sound track), and then topped off with instructions on how to build a tattoo gun, which you dont see every day in Vegan cookbooks.

Not to mention the only (relatively) simple way to make soy milk i've seen to date. MUST be bought and cherished forever and ever...

(Alas, American measurements; which are forgiven once you try any one of the wonderous chilli's).

Not impressed so far
I just bought this book and I must say,I don't really see the point of it. First of all,if you own any vegan cookbooks at all,you probably have all of the recipes already. Second,its set up is very messy and difficult to read because of the sloppy zine style,which isn't good when trying to cook or even decide on a recipe. Third,the names of some the recipes make it rather difficult to figure out what you're looking at and the rest of the names just seem unnecessary(i.e. Leeks with a drinking problem;Ellie the Judas Priestess' Drunken Beans.I just like titles that tell me what I'm looking at so I can quickly decide on a meal).I'm not a prude or easily offended,but some of the drawings of guns being fired,a bear eating what appears to be a human and the page about him seeing a dead woman floating in the water one day really seem unnecessary in a cookbook.Also,the book isn't set up clearly for the types of meals,so it's hard to see where the entree section begins and the salad section ends(if there even is a salad section).
MAYBE if I were still 15 years old or into death metal,I would like this book( I am an old-school punk rocker)I will give it a chance,though,and if I decide I like it I will give another review. I just want to warn others who might not be interested in a low-fi cookbook with slight violent undertones.(yes I am a pacifist)
