 Grubbing and Basic Vegetarian Recipes with Quantity July 27, 2008

I certainly haven't tried every recipe in this book, but I have tried enough to know that it is spot on for what it is offering, which is a variety of grubbing, basic vegetarian recipes that provide some quantity. You won't feed hundreds with these recipes, but you will feed 10.

I don't use cookbooks very often. When I do, I am looking for inspiration for something new to try or I am looking for a basis on which to apply my own creative process upon. Even when I do use a cookbook, I rarely prepare the recipe exactly as directed.
There are a number of things that are especially cool about Punk Cookery.
First is Ian's commentary. Although we are from different ends of the country, we are from the same scene. Like Ian, these recipes have history, which he shares with the user.
Second is that these recipes are good for a beginner or an experienced cook. I admit that a lot of times I pull out Betty Crocker when I am baking and modify these old school recipes to be vegan. But how do you do that for Lentil Loaf or Chocolate Tofu Pie? Well, you don't...but this book has these recipes that can be followed to the T by a beginner or modified by an experienced cook.
Finally, there are simply some really cool and unusual recipes in here. My favorite section is the salads, which includes recipes for Sweet Pea Guacamole, Wild Rice & Artichoke, Greek Potatoes and more. I think there are probably recipes from about 8 different cultures. I also have Ian's Ethiopian-Inspired Cooking, which I have been wanting to try.
ooh...I gotta go wisk my herbed polenta before it burns...
Impressive, Unique Vegetarian Recipes January 18, 2008

These recipes are fantastic. For people looking for vegetarian recipes that are unique, culturally inspired, and derived from fresh ingredients. You can tell each recipe is written with finesse, it makes every meal seem like a grand production. Honestly, I keep this recipe book as kind of a secret weapon, the lasagna (both the vegan and vegetarian recipes) are mind-blowing. (I've gotten a fair share of marriage proposals from making these dishes for potlucks.)They are practical recipes that aren't too difficult but come out being elegant. Definitely a must for people who appreciate cooking, (and good music!) This book is a must-have, you'd be hard-pressed to find recipes like this, (or this good) anywhere else.

This is my summertime pot luck companion. I have made tons of recipes from this book including but not limited to Thai Peanut Noodle, Tofu Burgers, Quiche, and Tempeh, Lettuce, and Tomato. The dishes are easy, fresh, and delicious. At my pot lucks I always get asked for the recipes. A great book for those just venturing into vegetarianism and/or veganism as well as anyone who wants to cut back on meat but not give up those savory flavors. Highly recommended.
