Our love of obscure pop culture and blatantly urban aesthetics aside (you can practically hear us complaining about hauling groceries up the subway entrance stairs), I think we made it abundantly clear our stance on vegan eating was for everybody.
Never could I have imagined the joys of scrubbing the insides of a refrigerator I actually own. I graduated myself from the omnipresent New York rental apartment kitchen (good-bye lopsided stovetop, crooked plywood cabinets, and never the luxury of a dishwasher) to a co-op apartment in Queens populated with appliances I bought myself. Although Veganomicon is absolutely the product of an urban upbringing, Isa for a short while did have an honest-to-gosh suburban kitchen in Omaha (one that I enjoyed very much baking pies in during our summer of wrapping up Vegan Pie in the Sky and with a view of picket fences, green lawns, and sprawling vegetable gardens). I smile when I read through the lines about how much we've grown since 2007. Even though we were just entering our cookbook-writing career at the time, there is still a lot of wisdom packed into a few sassy pages. And the pictures they do have, are very well done, full pages.Sitting down to reread the Veganomicon introduction Isa and I crafted over ten years ago, initially I thought, "Throw it out! Gimme a fresh start!" I'm glad I soon got over that impulse.
The Recipes are not complicated like some of the other books I have on my shelf, would be nice to have more pictures but, the book would have had to be massive to fit them in. What I really liked about this book was in the back, it doesn't just have an alphabetical index, it has choices like Soy Free, Gluten Free and more!! Win Win!! There is a chart for measurements, minimal stocking of your basics. I have picked out recipes for the Christmas Holidays, like the Cranberry Sauce, Rolls and Muffins for the morning. I picked up one of the recipes on their blog and it was off the chart D-LISH, easy peasy and fast to make for a family of 4. Received the book this morning, and went through it cover to cover, page by page flagging the recipes I want to try. Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 9 December 2017
