Disappointing Vegan Crock-Pot Book
I have reviewed several cookbooks by this author in the last few years. Until recently, I have enjoyed them and found them generally well written. Unfortunately, the last two—which appear to be a part of his backlist—have been very disappointing. I should have known something wouldn't be quite right with this book when I saw the subtitle. How could slow-cooker recipes be suitable for raw vegans? By definition, slow-cooker recipes are cooked! Unfortunately, I did have issues with this cookbook. While I have a few quibbles with the introduction, the biggest problem is with the recipes themselves. Here are a few examples. For a dip recipe, he suggests serving it with nachos... not tortilla chips. His recipe for “Dirty Vegan Chai” contains no tea. The word “chai” is actually the Indian word for tea. Any recipe labeled chai should be a tea-based beverage. The recipe, instead, was for a chai-spiced coffee. Many recipes, too, seemed like they might be better prepared on the stovetop or even the microwave. Do you really want to wait a few hours for a beverage that can be warmed up in minutes? Somewhat laughably, in the introduction, the authors stated that a Crock-Pot can be set up the night before and you can wake up to something hot. Most of us dedicated Crock-Pot enthusiasts set it up so that we come home to a hot dinner, not wake up to a hot breakfast. I thought some flavor combinations sounded a bit odd, like “Carrot Cake and Zucchini Oatmeal. I like carrots, zucchini, and oatmeal separately, but can't quite imagine them as a breakfast combination. In the introduction, the author extols the Crock-Pot’s ease of use, but many recipes would take a fair amount of ingredient prep as well as have a long list of ingredients. Because of its shortcomings, I do not feel like I can recommend this book.
I received a free digital copy of this cookbook, but that did not affect my review.

From muffins, to biscotti… waffles to scones… if you are a chocolate lover, this is your guide. The author adds chia seeds and chickpeas to recipes that give me new ideas for protein in the kitchen. The chocolate zucchini bread is a must try. I also have a newfound appreciation for almond milk ice cubes and chocolate oatmeal.

Great Variety
With 101 available recipes, it's hard not to find something to make. I'm looking forward to trying them all. Yum!

Vegan: 101 Delicious Chocolate Vegan Diet Recipes is a cookbook by Sam Kuma and aims to give us chocolate lovers a variety of vegan recipes. Each recipe has an image to go with it; so you can see what the final product looks like. There’s bits of nutritional information with each recipe, though a lot of the time it doesn’t tell you how many servings there are, so it’s not clear on how many people get fed from the recipes.
One of the first things I’ll mention is that these recipes don’t seem to belong to the author of the book; at the end of the book there’s and appendix with links so you can find the original authors of each recipe.
I think this book would be reasonably good for beginners cooks or bakers. There’s a reasonable amount of details in the instructions of each recipe to know how to make things. Though I wish there were more details in some recipes; a lot of them don’t list specific cooking temperatures when using the stove. And in a lot of places, I feel like there’s not enough information about ingredients. Such as “1 Cup Flour”; it doesn’t specify what type of flour, and using the wrong type of flour in some recipes can ruin the batter. But it happens in a lot of the recipes. I mean, I assume they mean “plain flour”, but I wish they’d be specific. Some recipes list oven temperatures, but fail to include whether it’s Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Another key thing to consider is that chocolate isn’t always a vegan product. There can often be things like milk and other animal products add to commercial chocolate products. So, if you are wanting to make these recipes vegan, have a read of packages of any chocolate products before you buy/ use them. And there are several other ingredients in these recipes that aren’t necessarily vegan. For example, in the “Chocolate Filled Puff Pastry”, one of the ingredients is “1 Puff Pastry Sheet”. However, a lot of the time, puff pastry is made with butter. In “Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake”, the ingredients list “20 Oreos”. However, on the Oreo UK website, Oreo officially states that they “may include cross-contaminants of milk”. ( OREO UK | FAQs - https://www.oreo.co.uk/faq ) A later recipe, “Peanut Butter and Chocolate Tarts”, has a listing for “2 Cups Chocolate Cookie Crumbs”, which again you would probably need to double check an ingredient list to be sure they are vegan.
Overall, it’s a mediocre book, however, I feel like it needs a lot of editing. Many ingredients, such as the flour, should be more specific; to include the type. I think the ingredient list needs more specifications for some products to use vegan varieties; to meet the theme of the book. There needs to be editing for specific cooking temperatures; to include the Fahrenheit or Celsius. For me, I don’t think I’d be able to make a lot of these recipes due to a lot of the ingredients not being available to me; it would be extremely difficult to find some of these things. I mean, some of the recipes sound okay, but nothing I would race out to buy ingredients for. I probably won’t refer back to this book for recipes in future.

I received this book for free in return for an honest review
I love chocolate, and so does my vegan daughter, but finding recipes we both will find satisfying, while not feeling that we are depriving ourselves, are not always the easiest thing to do, especially without having to resort to some crazy ingredients that are hard to find.
Thankfully this book covers our chocolate cravings as well as the need for simple ingredients I can pretty much find anywhere - my pocketbook thanks the Author!
Vegan: 1o1 Delicious Chocolate Vegan Diet Recipes might be a mouthful of a title, but it is filled with enough recipes to even convince my family and friends that we are on to something here!
A chocolate lovers must have book!

I have a few other recipe books by Sam Kuma, including one that is FULL of desserts and ice cream recipes, but couldn't resist picking up this book with nothing but CHOCOLATE recipes! I have found his recipes to be absolutely yummy and well balanced flavor wise. I do wish he would include nutritional information with his recipes so that I can evaluate things like carbs, protein, and sugars. And since so much of what initially appeals to people is visual, the cookbook could use some pictures of the finished meals so that you know what you are making. But he always does a great job of writing recipes that are flavorful, easy to create, and family pleasers for my crew. I have adjusted a few of his previous recipes to add my own flair and suit my family's tastes more, but for the most part I follow his directions very closely and have never had trouble with them.
This book is just as good as his ice cream and dessert book! Once again, there are sooo many recipes in it. Most of the other collections I have had from him are under 100 pages, but this has two books and a LOT of recipes. There are 101 chocolate indulgence recipes in this to dig through and drool over. 101 different opportunities to make myself miserable on my absolutely favorite flavor and dessert! I am super excited to try these out since it doesn't matter so much whether vegan or not. Dessert is dessert!
From a literary standpoint, his writing is good. He does not make mistakes in word choice, grammar, and uses proper mechanics, though I did see a few spelling mistakes here and there. But overall, his writing did not leave me critiquing his work, but focusing only on the recipes and the possibilities for my family meals.
Even if you are not a vegan, this is probably a collection that will have something you like and want to try. There are some delicious, yummy sounding recipes that my kids are excited to try out (they are also big time chocolate lovers), and they are clueless about veganism! I don't even try to explain any of it to them. I just make up the treats and they ooh and aah over them! Definitely take a look at this treasure!
