Synopsis
In "Vegan with a Vengeance", Isa Chandra Moskowitz brings the do-it-yourself, community-driven ethos of punk rock into the kitchen. Her cooking philosophy embraces being kind to animals (all recipes are completely animal-product free) and your wallet, while being creative and having fun in the process. She emphasizes staying clear of corporate brand-name foods, and says that cooking should be an innovative, experimental, and completely real experience. This one-of-a-kind cookbook offers 125 recipes for all meals of the day, from stuffed mushrooms to tofu pizza, gingerbread cupcakes to pasta and is full of tips and tricks on how to keep your diet vegan, inexpensive, and liberated.

Great book, just a shame theres no pictures
Vegan with a Vengeance: Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-free Recipes

This is a really great book. I'm not a vegan but love vegan cooking and baking and these recipes really stand up to the test, especially if you're looking for something a bit different! Not really your standard vegan book, and was a tad daunted by some of the ingredients first but once you buy the basics it's great.

Great book
I found this book excellent.

There are a large variety of recipes - salads, curries - and yes also waffles and pancakes . What's really nice is that the author conveys the idea that vegan cooking can also be pleasurable and decadent rather than just ordinary or earnest. This book is great to compliment the hard core raw and vegan books on the shelf. It also appeals to veggies and meat eaters. I also loved the fact that there were no pictures too...

As a trainee psychotherapist I could find the comments from the cat slightly irratating, ibid.,the punk points and the politics of hairy legged women, but it is also a strength of the book which is also a sort of autobiography told through food.

Best vegan cookbook I own
I got this book (US version) a year and a half ago as a new vegan and it's never let me down. There are recipes in it to impress vegans and meat-eaters alike and it's incredibly refreshing to own a vegan cookbook that packs the punches and isn't all about nut loaves and pasta salad. The mango ginger tofu is incredible, I'll make a batch to last me through the week and never get sick of it and the Big, Gigantoid Crunchy Peanut-Butter Oatmeal cookies are the most delicious cookies I've ever made - I bake them as gifts for people and everyone says how amazing they are!
The bottom line is that this book has a huge amount of very creative dishes, some are a little labour intense but most you can make for week day meals. I've not once regretted buying it and mine is now looking a little dog-eared and food splattered as a result.
