Fast Healthy Vegan Recipes

[Guest guest]

Hello. Having enjoyed many a recipe from this fine group, I'm

looking for recommendations on a cookbook. Like most people, I've

got little time for food preparation, etc... I'm wondering if anyone

could recommend a cookbook (vegetarian...but preferably vegan) with a

wide selection of QUICK, EASY, HEALTHY, CHEAP recipes. A lot to ask

maybe? I don't mind soy foods, but I'm definately not looking for a

book that simply takes all the standard meat dishes and substiutes

soy. Any help? Of course when it come time for the more elaborate

and delicious meals, Veg-Recipes is always my first stop!! But with

recent time constraints I need some help!

Thanks!

My best recommendation would be:-

Veetarian Express by Rose Elliot. The tag line for this is " fast

fresh food for energy and vitality " . It is not vegan but most of

the recipes are OK. There are two versions of this book, the one I

have is listed by Amazon as in print. It came up number 42 when I

searched on " Rose Elliot " .

 

Another good book by Rose Elliot is " Vegetarian Meals in Minutes "

200 recipes. This tends to use butter, but I have always replaced

sunflower spread quite successfully in them. I can't find this on

Amazon, but they do have Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Fast Food: Over

200 Delicious Dishes in Minutes. Which is probably the American

version of the same recipes.

 

 

Both these books are good for quick recipes, if you want cheap then

see if you can find a copy of Rose Elliot's " The Bean Book " . Amazon

lists some second hand sources, it came up 26th in my search.

 

I do have books by other authors but Rose Elliot is so good - she is

the leading British Vegetarian writer, and very prolific.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Best wishes

Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison is a great cook book

IMHO - Jenny

I don't know if you can get ahold of it, but _Cookin' Healthy with One

Foot Out the Door_(1994 - The Book Publishing Company), by Polly

Pitchford and Delia Quigley (the " Bad Girls of Natural Food " - see them

on the back cover in sequined gowns with their Harley Davidson's!) is

one I'd recommend. It has lots of fast recipes, most of them use cheap

ingredients, and it's funny, too. They have recipes with names like

" Hothot Couscous Cerealcereal " , " Swing-Lo Mein " , and " Educating Raita " ,

but even if you hate puns, you'll love the book. It's vegan except for

honey - I just substitute maple syrup and it works fine.

Check out " 20 Minutes to Dinner " by Bryanna Clark Grogan. It's completely vegan

and contains a wide variety of recipes. Bryanna is a prolific author, and all

her cookbooks are vegan. In this book, she covers ingredient substitutions,

bean cooking times and ways of shortening time spent in the kitchen. She also

gives a food glossary and mail order sources for items which may not be locally

available.

I like " How It All Vegan " and " In the Garden of Vegan " . The recipes are

usually pretty easy and fast, and there's not a whole lot of the fake

meats in them. The recipes are great too! One warning, a lot of the

recipes make huge servings (I can usually serve 4 from some of the

recipes that serve 2).

Jay's solomon's 101 Vegan Recipes. Love that book. Most are pretty easy.

some take a little longer.. mostly just chopping veggies though takes the

longest.
