1. The editing is so poor in this book that I doubt the author himself took a serious effort at proof reading, also doubt it even made it to an editor or any other set of eyes. For example numbering used instead of bullets in some of the recipes totally throwing off the ingredient amounts. 2. Poor structure: The recipes are not organized into groups (like breakfast vs diner or crockpot vs not) 3. Wording Vegan/Vegetarian: The book is a “Vegan” cookbook therefore I was irritated that the word Vegan was used in from of about 70% of the recipes, and even more irritating is that sometimes nothing was used and other times vegetarian was used. So did that mean that the recipes that did not say vegan were not actually vegan and the ones that said vegetarian were also not vegan? If so, why are they in a Vegan cookbook. Skimming the recipes, I found one that had optional Parmesan cheese in it. Being vegan I would normally not question that in a vegan cookbook and just assume the intent was vegan Parmesan, however with the reference to vegetarian, not sure. It was the Spaghetti sauce recipe. Which was an example of another problem... 4. Calling this a dump cookbook. Most, but not all the recipes were dump and go. The spaghetti sauce is one example. True the recipe was titled for the sauce only, however the actual recipe made the entire dish of spaghetti and sauce which is not dump and go. It takes a few steps and 2 pans. 5. Quick oats-crock pot. Do I need to say more? What is quick about using a crock pot, also known a a slow cooker?
All that being said I have not cooked a recipe, I’m not sure I trust them. I feel he is not vegan himself and that he copied recipes from other sources with limited or no experience in the area.
The one star is that I read the recipes and they look they the will work out. Most are soups and stews etc so there is a lot of forgiveness in that type of cooking.
I am mostly irritated by what seems like writing a book as a way to jump on the trend of veganism and make a quick dollar. The errors combine to say lack of authenticity to me. The recipes might be good, the book was cheap.
