"Vegan Soul Food Cookbook" is a vegan cookbook that focused on making dishes with similar tastes and textures to favorite southern recipes. She generally used whole food or minimally processed ingredients, but the focus was on replicating meat dishes (without the meat) so she used textured vegetable protein, vital wheat gluten, store-bought vegan butter and mayonnaise, etc. She briefly mentioned that you should buy organic corn and soy products due to the GMO issue. Almost all of the ingredients in the recipes should be easy to get.

Most of the 101 recipes served 4 to 6 people and took around 20-60 minutes to make. She included 9 recipes for breakfast, 10 recipes for salads, 10 recipes for soups and stews, 21 recipes for appetizers and sides, 21 recipes for main dishes, 12 recipes for sauces, seasonings, and dressings, 8 recipes for breads, rolls, and biscuits, and 10 recipes for desserts. The recipes provided the preparation time, cooking time, serving size, ingredients, instructions, and substitution tips. She labeled if a recipe was gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, oil-free, or 30 minutes or less. There was usually only one picture of a finished recipe for each section of recipes.

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher.

A cookbook with barely any pictures (maybe because of the e-book version?!) is simply not for me. Also, as I try to stay on a Dr Greger lane ('How not to die' - highly recommended) there are too many ingredients for me thst make those reciepes 'plant-based' but not really nutricious or healthy. It was just not the right fit for me.

Great recipes and variety

I would recommend this book to beginner vegans and seasoned vegans. Enjoyed the appetizers and desserts especially. Quick and easy dinners too.

Callisto Media/Rockridge Press was kind enough to send me a copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review.


I really enjoyed this book - I try to behave and be vegan as much as possible but I love REAL cheese and cupcakes.

What I can do with this book is to add meat or animal products as I want when I want to eat differently when I have a craving - I have a serious problem with vegan "meats" as they are full of ingredients: once I compared "chicken" to chicken - the frozen chicken had 48 ingredients. No thank you!

A great book of deep and delicious recipes that I cannot wait to cook my way thourhg.

Great Vegan Substitutes

I enjoyed this book. Many recipes, I bookmarked and will come back to again and again. My only complaint would be to have more main courses.
