Vegan Meals for One or Two: Your Own Personal Recipes

This book is simple and anything i have made so far has been tasty. I esp liked the Smoky Black Beans. The "Better Than Beef Stew" was also a hit. The recipes can use some additional seasoning, but the book even says that the recipes are mild so people can adjust easily to personal taste. This is great of veg couples (like my situation) but also, young vegans that live at home with parents that are not the supportive. I hear it a lot "I want to be vegan but my mom doesn't want to cook extra meals/buy food ect" These are simple and easy. Teen vegans should have a problem cooking their own meals and the portions are prefect. Also, many of the ingredients (aside from some fake meats here and there) are common easy to find, already in the kitchen and not expensive.

This is my favorite vegan cookbook so far! (I have several). It uses really simple ingredients, and the portion sizes are hearty. I will probably need to replace it in a few years because my current copy is getting rather beat up due to overuse. Another reviewer wrote about the 'wrong amount of pepper' in a potato-kale recipe. I tried that recipe too, and since I really like pepper, it tasted great! But to each their own... The Vegetarian Resource Group is also a great resource for vegetarian/vegan cookbooks and restaurant listings. I'm pleased that this cookbook came from them.
