Eat, Drink and Be Vegan: Everyday Vegan Recipes Worth Celebrating

Author: Dreena Burton

In Dreena Burton's first two best-selling vegan cookbooks, The Everyday Vegan and Vive le Vegan!, she offered a dazzling array of healthy, animal-free recipes, many of which were based on her experience as a mother of two young girls she and her husband are raising as vegans. Dreena also maintains an active website and blog and has cultivated an enthusiastic audience for her family-oriented, nutritious recipes. In this, her third cookbook, Dreena turns her attention to celebratory food-imaginative, colorful, and delectable vegan fare perfect for all kinds of events, from romantic meals for two to dinner parties to full-on galas. Many of the recipes are kid-friendly, and all are appropriate for everyday meals as well.

The book includes 125 recipes and sixteen full-color photographs, as well as meal plans, cooking notes, and advice on vegan wines and beers. Recipes include Lentil & Veggie Chimichangas, Thai Chick-Un Pizza, White Bean Soup with Basil & Croutons, Tomato Dill Lentil Soup, Olive & Sundried Tomato Hummus, "Creamy" Cashew Dip with Fruit, Crpes with Maple Butter Cream, 5-Star Ice "Cream" Sandwiches, and Hemp-anola (Dreena's take on granola).

Come celebrate with Dreena and impress your guests with these tempting animal-free recipes.

Judith Sutton - Library Journal

Atlas is the author of more than half a dozen popular vegetarian cookbooks, including Vegetarian Celebrations. Her vegan cookbook offers a wide variety of quick and easy recipes, most of them made with ingredients available in any large supermarket. Nearly Instant Thai Coconut Corn Soup and Pasta Jambalaya are just some of her family-friendly dishes. Recipes include nutrition information, and most provide menu suggestions. For all vegetarian cookbook collections.

Burton, author of two previous vegan cookbooks, began her newest from her blog. Her recipes call for far more specialty ingredients, like agave nectar, flax meal, and hemp seed nuts, than those in Vegan Express(though Burton does not include nutrition analyses), and many of them are more complicated as well. On the other hand, readers with wheat allergies, whether they are vegan or not, will appreciate the many wheat-free recipes here. For larger collections.
