Vegan Planet: 400 Irresistible Recipes with Fantastic Flavors from Home and around the World, The Ultimate Guide to Meat-Free, Dairy-Free, and Egg-Free Cooking that Everyone Will Enjoy

Excellent Cookbook

So far we've made the following recipes, all of which have been excellent: Cauliflower Pakoras; Red Beans & Rice; Fetticcuine with Red Lentil Sauce; & Lemon Risotto. The pakoras tasted as if they were restaurant made and the risotto was incredibly flavorful. This book was very reasonably priced and worth every penny. Thankfully, each recipe does not have a large number of ingredients. The ingredients included in the recipes are also very reasonably priced, unlike many other vegan cookbooks which call for expensive, hard-to-find ingredients. Additionally, the recipes are straight-forward and understandable. If you are a vegan who is looking forward to opening up your repertoire and not break the bank, this is the cookbook you need.

great cookbook

I am a beginner to the vegan lifestyle. Every single recipe I've tried is delicious. I also appreciate they don't use too many obscure ingredients.

Haven't found a bad recipe yet!

I've been vegetarian for over a year now, and have recently become interested in a vegan diet. I've tried 12 of the recipes so far and they have ALL turned out wonderfully! My mother, who always demands 'Where's the MEAT!' even truly enjoyed the meals. The recipe for the pizza dough is perfect, and I really loved the Fusili with Roasted Asparagus and Sun-dried Tomatoes. Living in South Dakota, which is not the most veg*n friendly state in the union, I have found nearly all the ingredients that the recipes call for to be readily accessible (which has been a challenge with some other veg*n cookbooks)

Fabulous Cookbook

So far I have made 4 dishes from this cookbook and each one has been simple to prepare and delicious. I try to eat at least one vegan meal each day and this book is a tremendous resource. I am looking forward to trying many more recipes - every one looks enticing. Great variety of foods from salads to desserts, and lots of helpful nutritional information as well. Great value for the price.

Wonderful vegan cookbook!

I've had this cookbook for about 6 months now and I refer to it frequently. I've enjoyed all the meals I've cooked from it, and know that it is one that I will refer to and use for many, many years to come. The recipes don't call for complicated or difficult to find ingredients - you can get almost all the ingredients at your local grocery store, and it's so rare to find a cookbook with so many recipes, at this price!! A great buy!

One of my top 5 fav cookbooks!

I am mostly vegetarian (with the exception of an occasional piece of shrimp or fish) but I'm not adverse to eggs and cheese....although I try to limit those to keep fat and cholesterol down in my diet. I wanted to learn to cook vegan so that I could learn how to season vegetables without adding fat (ie: butter, cheese, etc.) I bought this book and it has been an excellent learning tool for me. The recipes have been terrific! Terrific means cookbooks that make me look like a good cook...and this one definitely fits the bill. This is a great book for vegans, but also if you're just trying to cook more veg in your meals with more flavor and without so much fat.... that actually still taste good. One of my top 5 I reach for when I'm looking for something new to cook. Your cookbook library needs this book!

All Vegans should own this one

I have used this at least once a week for a fresh dinner idea when veggie burgers get old and I don't know what to cook. I used this when I first became a vegan because it gave ample justification for why one should choose whole grains or soy instead of meat. There is an excellent commentary on the benefits of the nutrients in a select dish. The dishes range from simple salads and soups to recipes that are gourmet preparations such as one would use for company or special events. Vegan Planet is also a great book to help the vegan cook prepare meals for non-vegans. My guests alawys ask for the recipe even if they are carnivores! Enjoy this mainstay in the vegan kitchen.

Amazing Vegan Cookbook

As a beginner vegan I was hesitant about giving up my regular diet but this cook book made it so easy to enjoy delicious vegan meals, desserts, and snacks. What I love most about this book however is that aside from the fabulous recipes its graces its fellow vegan pupils with it also provides helpful facts and information that every beginning vegan should have at their fingertips. So in one book your getting amazing recipes as well as a lifestyle guru with facts that were really the deciding factor for me.

Delicious and Easy Recipes!

This book is chock full of delicious and easy recipes. Try the sweet potato and black bean enchiladas (sounds weird, but is awesome!), and the Blushing Guacamole (a twist on a classic)!

Excellent Resource

This was my first Vegan cookbook. I received it when I didn't think any Vegan cookbooks existed. I have now had it for many years. I absolutely love it. It is one of my favorites and I have used it many times with great results. It's one of two cookbooks that I constantly refer to.

Happy, Diligent Vegan Cook

I bought this book almost a year ago, and I've enjoyed cooking along to many recipes, especially the chapter entitled 'Dessert Heaven.' The recipes are easy to follow and include substitution ingredients when others are not available. This book has become my number one cookbook.

The best vegan cookbook by far!

This is the best vegan cook by far! Every single dish (and there have been many and many) that I have made from this book has been 100% delicious! The consistancy is awesome. The varity is what keeps me going back to it night after night. I have made dishes from this book for my non vegan and non vegetarian friends and they absloutly loved them. I definetly recommend picking this up, the recipies are easy to follow and come out amazing!

A little disappointing

Granted I've only been a vegetarian for three weeks, but I've been cooking since I was tall enough to reach the top of the stove (let's just say over 50 years), but I'm a little disappointed by the recipes I've tried. The black bean croquettes dissolved in the skillet (made great refries though) and the zucchini bread recipe called for 3 cups of flour and mixed up so dry that I had to add more soy milk. I'll keep trying, but if I had my money back, I think I'd try a different title.

Thank your Robin Robertson!

Dear Robin Robertson,
Thank you for writing your wonderful cookbooks. I have both Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes and Vegan Planet. I have been a vegetarian for 11 years and a vegan for a year and a half. Your cookbooks have truely enhanced the quality of our meals! The Black Bean and Sweet Potatoe Enchiladas are the most amazing things I have ever eaten. Last night I made the Pizza Bandiera and it was so good we ate the entire thing! Thanks for making it a pleasure to be a vegan and cook healthy, quick and easy meals. I have made ten recipes from the book so far and all have been outstanding. I am looking forward to trying all the rest of the recipes. I am taking a weeks vacation soon to do spring cleaning and stay home and cook. Take care and keep up the good work. If I could only have one cookbook in my kitchen I would choose Vegan Planet.
Sincerely,
Christina
