Veganomicon

VeganomiconAs it is a long time since I did a book review, here a book about vegan cooking. As I was reading the index, the water came into my mouth .

Here the review from Publishers Weekly :

While most vegan cookbooks are anemic, underfed volumes - some no-brainer pasta recipes, a few things to do with tofu, maybe some oddball desserts - this slam-bang effort from vegan chefs Moskowitz and Romero (Vegan with a Vengeance) is thorough  and robust, making admirable use of every fruit and vegetable under the sun, without once asking readers to make do with fake meat products and egg replacements.


Instead, the eccentric authors offer dozens of novel, delicious  ways to get excited about eating meat-, dairy- and egg-free. 
Take Southwestern Corn Pudding, a winning casserole rich with coconut milk and an unexpected dash of maple syrup-a likely MVP at your next Thanksgiving (whether it's centered around turkey or tofu). Almost as addictive are Rustic White Beans and Mushrooms, which get their bite from fresh herbs, and Lentils and Rice with Caramelized Onions and Spiced Pita Crisps, a transcendent Middle Eastern comfort food. Vegan breakfasts get overdue attention: sitting in front of a hot stack of velvety Blueberry Corn Pancakes and hearty Blue Flannel Hash, who's going to miss the bacon? Best of all is the wide selection of terrific desserts: everything from Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies to decadent Caramel-Apple-Spice Cupcakes boldy fill the space where most eggless, milkless and butterless cookbooks fear to tread.

I've read a lot of positive reviews about this cookbook for its good food, but how does it do as far as being a healthy meal?

A good question, Jonathan .
Everyone has to decide this for himself, which ingredients he chooses, which cooking style and depending on the season.
