Chloe's Kitchen: 125 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Making the Food You Love the Vegan Way

exactly what I was looking for. I am reaching 30 and have decided to ditch my ignorant meat and dairy filled diet and rid it of anything to do with the cruel farming industry that I have sadly just opened my eyes to. I am a newbie and have a pessimistic husband...so i need to get it right for my every intension is to cook my way to a new way of thinking for all my family. this book will work wonders I'm sure, easy to follow recipes which look and sound delicious a wide variety of savoury and sweet snacks and treats. I can't wait to get started.

Firstly, excellent delivery service, arrived within days of ordering!!! I brought this book as a Christmas pressie for my son, who's recently turned Vegan. I believe its a quality, easy to read and follow, illustrated book and on browsing through the recipes and looking at the pictures, they seem to be quite tasty so much so, I might get one of these books for myself in the future!!! In the meantime, my son will be the judge of the recipes when he tries them out though!!! So, I'll keep you posted. Just one more thing, the recipes use measuring cups for the ingredients which I purchased from my local superstore.

I have only been fully vegan for five months and was a bit worried about how to make my meals interesting enough for my meat eating husband and mother. Chloe offers some really nice recipes with sensible ingredients, she shows how to cater for dinner parties and everyday meals. she includes recipes that can be made in advance and tells you how long they can be kept in the fridge or freezer, her cake recipes are wonderful my mum didn't even realize they are vegan. Chloe also includes a very easy recipe to make your own seitan, its very good. Ive got quite a few vegan cookbooks now but I can honestly say that this is the best one so far. I am looking forward to more cookbooks from Chloe. I can highly recommend this book

This cook book is fabulous, not only does the food look good but taste good as well! Who knew vegan food could be so much fun! The recipes are varied and easy to follow. There isn't a huge long list of ingredients that you have to use and the ingredients she does use are available in any supermarket, at a push a health food store. There is something for everyone in here. This is the first vegan cook book I have purchased and I don't think I will need another. My husband who is an ardent meat eater is also impressed as it's not just lentils and beans for dinner. The only drawback is as it is an American cookbook you would need to ensure you have a set of measuring cups for the recipes so you're not having to check the conversions for each recipe. Also some of the ingredients are the american term so I had to do a bit of comparison on google first BUT this isn't the end of the world. I know a few reviews have mentioned the amount of oil she uses but you don't have to use that much, common sense can prevail here. I would definitely recommend this book to any one wanting to follow a vegan diet or lower their meat consumption and seeing as there are plenty of cupcake recipes I'm sure it will keep everyone happy!

Book arrived promptly and in excellent condition. Very good value for money and excellent service. The book itself is outstanding and I can recommend it to anyone interested in Vegan recipes.

This is the best vegan cookbooks I've come across. I've been exploring veganism for about 18 months with a big gap in the middle. It's really for health and secondarily for the world and such. I enjoy the taste of meat and animal products such as cheese and sour cream. There are some other really good book out there for starters, like the Veganomicon which really aquaints one with all the different ingredients and ways to cook vegan food. This book however is just amazing. It's like restaurant quality food every night, even when it's easy. She has great palate and wide range of cuisines.

If you are adept at using American measurements then I think this book will suit you. It's full of interesting and unusual recipes that really expand the vegan palate. Unfortunately for me, although I managed the cups and the difference in tablespoon sizes, having an entire recipe book dealing with ounces that did not show conversion to grams tipped the balance and made the book extremely irritating to work with. When I'm compiling my recipes for the week I don't want to have to convert every single recipe I use. It stops being a pleasurable experience at that point.

Recently turned vegan and needed an easy family cook book. Brilliant book, easy to follow, great recipes with just the right seasoning advice. Wish we had changed the way we eat ages ago, feel so much healthier.

I have been a vegetarian for a year now and decided recently to take the plunge and move to a plant-based diet. Eggs and cheese occurred regularly in my meals so I knew I needed to look for professional help to make the transition. I am so glad I picked Chloe's Kitchen, easy to follow and easy to create with a great index. I'm not much of a baker but I've made her cupcakes and cookies and they have turned out fabulously which really surprised me. I loved making the burgers and pizza which were a HUGE hit in my family. Plus her Mango Masala Panini - DELICIOUS. Lots of the recipes took me little time to make while others took over an hour but WOW they tasted superb. Well worth the time in the kitchen. I have a toddler that easily scarfs down all my meals which really makes me feel good as a young mom that I'm feeding him healthy vegan meals! I also bought Appetite for Reduction by Isa Chandra Moskowitz which has less fat and I feel more healthier consuming but Chloe's cookbook steals my tastebuds by all the comfort food she creates. If I could sum it all up one word it. "YUM"

First I must say I am not a vegan but I am trying to eat less meat and I am working towards a mostly plant based diet. I have been waiting for Chloe's book for so long, I pre-ordered and was thrilled when I received it. I had made some of Chloe's recipes that she had posted on her blog and her Facebook page and they were absolutely delicious and so easy! I am not a beginner but these recipes could easily be handled by someone with less experience. I made her maple roasted brussel sprouts with toasted hazelnuts last night and they were fabulous! I am looking forward to making a cinnamon chocolate chip cookie recipe tonight. There are so many things I love about her book that I don't know where to start; her recipes are clearly written and her food is just delightful, everything I have made has turned out well and makes me even more excited to try something new. Another great part of her recipes is that they don't call for items that are hard to track down. I haven't run into a single ingredient that I haven't been able to find locally. She has a great variety of foods and they honestly all look delicious. I am not into vegan/vegetarian cookbooks that (heavily) rely on tofu and meat substitutes and hers doesn't either. There are a few recipes with tofu but many are hearty without always having a meat substitute. The photographs are beautiful and I love that she included a dog biscuit recipe too! I can easily see this becoming a favorite of mine. One more point that I was happy about, she didn't overlap her recipes that appeared on her blog in her book. Only one that was featured on the blog was in the book that I can recall so be sure to check out her blog for more. The pad thai recipe on there is so tasty and really comes together in minutes (start to finish it was MAYBE 20 minutes) and there is a lovely creme brulee recipe on there as well as other entrees, sweets and sides. Just fabulous and highly recommended, Chloe's food is so delicious and easy!I truly hope she will write more cookbooks. *March 19: I just made her Chocolate Beer cupcakes with Irish Whiskey Buttercream for St. Patrick's Day and they were hands down the best cupcakes I have ever made! They were such a success, moist and so rich with flavor I couldn't believe how well they turned out and everything came together so quickly compared to making them with butter and eggs. Chloe's recipes just work and she really makes it easy to incorporate vegan meals into your diet. No sacrificing flavor, just delicious healthy food! *April 15: Everything I have made continues to be amazingly delicious! The penne alla vodka is so tasty and pairs perfectly with the garlic knots, I don't miss the cream at all. Her five minute salad comes together in just that and is so full on flavor for just being a handful of ingredients. This week I am going to make her peanut noodles, Caribbean vegetables, chimichurri tacos and vanilla ice cream! Chloe's cookbook is a favorite in my collection and I reach for it every week. I love cooking vegan foods and love eating them because of this cookbook. I am more adventurous in the kitchen and have incorporated many more vegan meals into my diet because every recipe has worked and even more importantly, they continue to be fabulous. *October 19: I continue to reach for this and everything has still continued to be delicious! The peanut noodles are in a regular rotation and the recipe doubles so easily, it is wonderful having a big batch to munch on hot or cold whenever the mood strikes. The tacos and ice cream are fabulous, as are the Caribbean veg. Chloe's vanilla ice cream recipe is my go to and is a cinch to whip up in the blender. Out of everything I have made, only one didn't turn out to be awesome. It wasn't a bad recipe at all (thankfully all of her recipes are well written and clear), it's flavors just weren't right up our alley for some reason. This is a perfect way to incorporate more plant based meals into your diet. It's not intimidating and doesn't call for any complicated techniques or hard to find ingredients. This was not my first vegan cookbook but I wish it was. I have a large cookbook collection, and there are only a handful that I consistently reach for and I am happy to say this is one of them!

Des recettes fiables et gouteuses... des ingrédients simples et faciles à trouver... que demander de plus ? Plusieurs recettes du bouquin (Le seitan BBQ à la mongolienne, le tempeh à la sauce aux câpres...entre autres) sont devenues des classiques chez moi. Végétarienne depuis plusieurs années, je suis ravie d'avoir trouvé des recettes sympa qui me permettent d'alléger ma consommation de fromage, sans concession sur le goût ! Toutes les recettes ne sont pas illustrées, mais les photos sont quand même assez nombreuses et plutôt réussies (un bémol quand même sur les photos de l'auteur -un peu trop nombreuses- qui sourit tellement qu'on voit ses dents de sagesse... ça fait un peu nunuche... mais bon, ses recettes sont extra, on passe outre)

Chloe Coscarelli como sempre se superando a cada livro que escreve. Receitas típicas, sorvetes, molhos caseiros, pizzas... Um show de criatividade e sabores.

Diese Frau hat Ideen und nicht umsonst dafür Preise gewonnen. Die Rezepte von Chloé Cascarelli sind kreativ bis ausgefallen und das wirklich Schöne an ihnen ist, dass sie relativ einfach bzw. mit geringem bis mittlerem Aufwand nachzukochen sind. Hierfür gibt es gleich zu Anfang des Buches eine Hilfestellung der Autorin, die die wichtigsten veganen Zutaten und Hilfsmittel (Ei-Ersatz!) einer veganen Küche aufführt. Sie gibt sogar Hinweise für gluten- bzw. sojafreie Varianten für diejenigen, die es betrifft. Ansonsten kommt das Kochbuch frisch, leicht und lecker daher, typisch kalifornische Küche eben, oft asiatisch inspiriert, mit viel cross-over und Mut zum Mix. Angefangen bei kleinen Häppchen über Salate, Suppen, Hauptgerichte und Desserts sowie Tipps für mehrgängige Menus und ein Kapitel, das sich nur mit "Basics", z.B. der Herstellung von veganem Pizzateig, beschäftigt, hin zu unglaublich leckeren veganen Burger, Avocado-Shiitake-Sushi und klassisch-amerikanischem Birthday Cake mit Schoko-Frosting, der dem Milchprodukte-Original in nichts nachsteht. Chloé Cascarelli war nicht immer Veganer. Eines Tages, sie war in der siebten Klasse, schien es ihr nicht mehr richtig, einerseits Fleisch zu essen, und andererseits mit ihren Haustieren zu schmusen. Sie wurde zunächst Vegetarier und einige Jahre später Veganer. Mit liebevoller Unterstützung ihrer Mutter wurden alle traditionellen Familienrezepte veganisiert, viele davon finden sich auch in diesem Buch. Chloé packte ihre Koffer, um sich am Natural Gourmet Institute in New York zum "Chief" ausbilden zu lassen. Preise folgten, eine eigene website. Und dieses Kochbuch, eines meiner Lieblinge.
