New Vegan Cook Book: La Dolce Vegan!
My two most used cook books are How It All Vegan and The Garden Of Vegan but Sarah Kramer and Tanya Barnard, so I was surprised to see that Sarah has a third book out that I didn't know about! And it looks as though there is a fourth that is due to be released any time soon (her website at http://www.govegan.net says September, but I can't find the book - titled Vegan-a-go-go, you know, for travelling vegans - listed on Amazon.)
Apparently La Dolce Vegan is similar to the previous books in terms of style and recipes i.e. the photos and design of the book, and how it covers meals from breakfast to dessert. La Dolce Vegan also covers making your own fake meat, and has recipes such as Mocked Clam Chowder and Fake Chicken and Rice Soup. I'm looking forward to making the coconut and banana pancakes and also the blueberry crumble!
I'm really looking forward to ordering a copy of this book as the previous two are the only recipe books that I actually read, most likely due to them containing a whole lot more than just recipes! They are not only great for those who are about to become vegan (or those new to cooking!) as they contain a lot of general tips about cooking and vegan, but as someone who had been vegan for a few years when I first saw these books I still found them very useful and informative. The only problem I've had has been tracking down some ingredients here in New Zealand, but found health food stores to have a wide range, so have been introduced to a few new things such as Braggs.
Have you got a copy of this book? What are your opinions of it?
