The buckwheat flour smelt quite earthy in the packet but this didn’t come across in the flavour; they were lovely and sweet. I get the impression that this is targeted towards new plant-based eaters but it will easily appeal to longer-standing vegans too, there really is something for everyone in this book. Whether you’re already a full-time vegan, considering making the switch or just trying to cut down on meats, fish and dairy, this book is sure to add new favourite recipes to your repertoire.

I'm not Vegan but since April I have been Vegetarian and embrace the idea of limiting animal-based products as best as I can, this book is excellent for ideas on how to try Vegan, what ingredients are best and what are vegan without you being aware. The book has been read, a selection of recipes tried and tested, and so without further ado, here is my comprehensive and independent review of Feed Me Vegan by Lucy Watson.The recipes don't have over complicated methods or ingredients and there's a good variety of recipes on offer. the highlight of this book has to be the final chapter, Feed Me Celebration, which covers all the desserts you didn't think were possible, including 'chocolate fondant,' 'Eton mess' and 'Christmas cake' .

Discover veganised classics from French Toast with Spiced Plums to the Ultimate Cheeseburger and try out future favourites from Oreo Thickshake to Miso Aubergine and Mushroom Gyoza. I would have found this inspiring if I were new to veganism/vegetarianism, but I’ve been eating this way for a decade now and have cooked all of these kinds of recipes (or a variation of them) before. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. they're just extremely boring and kind of bland and theres absolutely nothing new or innovative in this book at all. I have been cooking for decades and don't need a lot of help with ideas in the kitchen, but sometimes especially with vegan it is just nice to open a book, follow instructions and have a meal turn out delicious.p>Sign up to the Little, Brown newsletter for news of upcoming publications, competitions and updates from our authors. I also like the variety of meals - breakfasts, snacks, soups, lunches, dinners, big feasts; as well as the weekly meal plan suggestions and dog food recipe. I don't really eat sweet food so maybe too much coverage of cakes and sweets for us, but there's lots of main meals, breakfasts and a great selection of sides and sauces to make, and each section is fairly equally weighted.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It states ‘comforting vegan recipes for all your favourite meals’ on the front and it delivers that perfectly. Seasoned vegans and vegetarians will get more out of books like Jackie Kearney’s, or even revisiting the old Moosewood and Broccoli Forest cookbooks. I read some reviews that said the recipes are quite basic and not very imaginative but actually it's exactly what I needed; to learn how to adapt meals we already know and love, to being vegan.There were a few steps but nothing complicated – sauté onion, garlic and chilli with the spices, add beans and tomatoes and simmer for 15 mins. If you’re holding my arm behind my back forcing me to say something then I think you could actually get away with cooking this for half the time or just dishing it up and popping it under the grill to melt the cheeze topping. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is new to veganism or struggling to make the transition. There were a few steps including pre-cooking the macaroni, frying off two types of mushrooms with some herbs and making a béchamel sauce. Day to day I generally eat Deliciously Ella style; however, when I occasionally want to indulge with some "dirty vegan" food Lucy has some fantastic recipes to choose from.

The question is – does it live up to the reviews and is it worth shelling out your hard earned cash for? I can accept that for someone new to plant based cooking there will be a few ingredients which may seem unusual but it is a learning process for us all especially at the start.After cooling in the tin for 10 minutes it started to collapse and on serving I could see that it wasn’t fully cooked. Packed with comforting, easy-to-make and totally delicious recipes, proving you can be vegan and still have your cake (and mac and cheese, and lasagne, and pancakes) and eat it. I like my chilli to have a nice thick sauce but after the allotted 15 minute cooking time it was still quite watery.
