Cheap recipes, normal ingredients
When I first decided to go vegan, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find a bunch of recipes that I liked AND that were inexpensive to prepare. On a whim, I did an Amazon search for "vegan" and "cheap," and I came across this book. I bought it instantly. There are so many great recipes in here, and the most expensive one costs $2/serving. I love that most of the ingredients in this book are ingredients that you can find anywhere. The only ingredient I had issues finding was nutritional yeast, and that was back when I first decided to go vegan and had no idea what that was. I've since learned where to find that ingredient.
So far, these are the recipes I've tried:
BLACK AND WHITE BEAN CHILI - Hands down my favorite recipe in this book. I'll never need another chili recipe again.
BAKED ZITI - Delicious! The tofu worked wonderfully.
FAUX PARMESAN - My savior. I put parmesan cheese on everything, and I couldn't imagine going vegan without having this wonderful alternative!
RADIATORE ESCAROLE WITH WHITE BEANS - I haven't tried escarole yet, but I tried this dish with kale, and it was great. Very easy to make, and it only requires a handful of ingredients.
PIZZA DOUGH - Who knew you could make a great dough with only three ingredients? I haven't tried the pizzas listed yet, but I used the dough recipe to make my own, and it was great!
BETTER BEAN BURGERS - So easy to make, and yet so delicious! I am definitely turning to these the next time I feel a craving for burgers!
ASIAN PEANUT PASTA SALAD - The first recipe I tried, and an absolute winner.
These were just the ones I could think of off the top of my head. I look forward to trying them all. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's looking to cook delicious, cheap vegan food!
Yeah, I got her slow cooker book for my birthday, but I haven't tried any recipes from it yet. I'm excited to try, though. I think all of her books are on my wishlist!
All of Robin Robertsons books are good!
Your review got me to check for her other books on amazon, and their "look inside" feature gives TONS of recipes!
