Loving the layout!
I have only had the book for a short time but I am loving the layout, the photography is great and the recipes are clear and include helpful tips for storage which I appreciate. I still miss cheese and the first thing I opened the book to was Tangy Blue Cheese so I gave it a go. I’m no into the ‘leave it on the counter to ferment’ method and Sam’s cheese recipe doesn’t call for that. While not tasting like the blue cheese I remember this was still delicious on its own, I used it on crackers, a bagel and a burger and it was great. The Sunflower Parmesan was a surprise, I really didn’t think it would replace my go to vegan ‘parmesan’ but it was really good and I will use it as a less expensive alternative to cashew parmesan. The Red Lenil Pate is a flavor bomb 10/10. Finally, the last recipe I have tried so far is the Fiery Black Bean soup, it’s a good soup but not what I would consider ‘fire’ She does give instructions on how to increase the spice level. Nice basic soup. Great intro with good tips at the beginning of the book. She gives prep/cook times that for me have been accurate and the recipes are well written and beautifully photographed. The book came with several bonus options that were quickly emailed to me including bonus recipes and a cooking class which I will definitely take advantage of.

Satisfying easy plant based meals that aren’t weird
I initially checked this book out from the library but I was on Amazon to buy it before I even cooked my first recipe. Here’s the thing about this book. The recipes are all well thought out, straight forward, and things you’d actually eat. Sam’s tofu ricotta will be a staple in our household from here on out. Even if you’re not 100% plant based, there are healthful recipes that you’ll absolutely love and never think twice about there being no meat or cheese.I always allow more time than recipes quote in books. Sometimes it takes me twice as long as the recipe says it’ll take. That hasn’t been my experience with this book. While it still took me longer to make the recipes, it was often only 5 to 10 minutes longer which is a huge win.Thank you Sam! This is one cookbook that we’ll be holding on to and not putting out in some random little free library.

BEST COOKBOOK EVER!
OMG y’all! You have got to buy this cookbook! Whether you’re vegan, omni, vegetarian or you simply want to incorporate more plant based food into your diet, it’s full of scrumptious, comforting and drool worthy recipes for every craving! Every recipe is vegan but there is no complicated methods or ingredients. Every ingredient is easy to find. I’ve been following Sam Turnbull on her YouTube and her blog itdoesnttastelikechicken.com for years now when I had to go dairy free. I had purchased all ger cookbooks! The first one was my most used cookbook I ever had and now I’m determined to try every recipe in her new cookbook because all 101 recipes look so yummy and divine. Every recipe has a gorgeous full color photo even photographed by Sam herself. I want to make every single recipe in this book and there are so many! Excuse me while I go make some pierogies and baked spaghetti!

So many good recipes
I have loved Sam forever, so I think I preordered this and was counting down the days till it got to me. It’s just so good!! The tofu ricotta???? Game changer! I use it for a vegetarian lasagna and my daughter had no idea she was eating healthy. And the fact that she even ate it and liked it is very telling. Sam is genius.

Wonderful Cookbook
I’m not vegan, but wanted some variety in my diet and every recipe is just spot on. Easy to follow. Not too many ingredients. Really nice book ….

Cropped cover
Maybe it’s just my graphics background but I’m bothered by the type and info cut off on the left side of the cover, on a book I was SO anticipating and finally received with a badly trimmed. My immediate response was “cheaply printed.” However, the interior pages are lovely, redeeming my favorite vegan author. But, I am disappointed since first [page] impressions do count.

My nrw favorite
I love this cookbook & that’s saying something because I have many. I like that the author cooks from scratch & doesn’t rely processed vegan foods. Also, the ingredients have been easy to find so I don’t need to spend money on things I may only use once. Today I am making Crunchy Tahini Slaw & can’t wait to enjoy it.

Just started trying the recipes and they’ve all been outstanding so far. I love the way the book is organized by craving! Eggy carby chocolatey etc. It’s very intuitive. Every recipe is illustrated and the ingredients are labeled in an easy to follow format. I also really like the description at the top of each recipe which really whets your appetite.

This is Sam Turnbull’s best cookbook. I have all three of her books. I love that some of my favourite recipes from her website “itdoesnttastelikechicken.com” has made its way into this book (eg. seitan steaks, blue cheese). Some may wish to see all new recipes not on her website. However, I wish Sam would compile her best recipes from the website into printed cookbooks. I would buy everyone. The recipes are in Sam’s signature style, simple easy everyday ingredients for everyday cooking that are tasty and will have you cooking her recipes on repeat. Don’t hesitate to buy this.
