Frugal Vegan: Affordable, Easy & Delicious Vegan Cooking Kindle Edition

My problem with vegan cookbooks is the use of a lot of exotic (jackfruit), labor-intensive (nut milks), expensive (cashews), or distasteful (aquafaba) ingredients I'm not interested in. This cookbook primarily uses everyday ingredients you can find at almost any grocery store. Most of the recipes are very quick and tasty with short ingredient lists and something you can assemble after a long day at work and be sure to get your daily supply of vitamins and amino acids.

Frugal Vegan is a very, very accessible cookbook. The recipes are simple yet creative and they really won't break the bank. It's a perfect book for someone like myself who wishes she/he was savvy in the kitchen but often doesn't have the patience or energy or resources to make something nutritious and lavish. I highly recommend this book!

A lot of these recipes have ingredients that I already have and I've only been eating vegan for the past month and a half. The very first recipe I tried was that easy vegan enchiladas. They were absolutely amazing. It was my first time using TVP. My parents came over to grab a container I had made for them, and they ended up eating the entire thing in my home. My meat eating loved them too. The best part was that it took me 10 minutes to make and 30 minutes in the oven. Recipes like the ones found in this book are great because they're easy and not time consuming. After coming from work and having three hours at most to cook dinner, feed and bathe my toddler and get him in the bed by 8 PM, I can say that this is the book I was looking for.

The book delivers on its promise of fast vegan meals, with just a few ingredients that taste good. In particular the vegan quesadilla and chilled soba salads are awesome.The photos/layout of the book is appealing as well. But, the main thing is this is not a cookbook that claims to be easy, but in fact when you try it turns out to be rather involved and requires obscure ingredients. The recipes are fast and can be made with whole foods (not the corporation, the thing) that are not too hard to find. Only occasionally does it require something like vegan cheese.

I cannot express how much I love this cookbook, but I will try. First of all the recipes are easy to follow, have low cost ingredients you don't have to special order and most recipes have a picture. I am the only vegan in my family yet these recipes please my husband and mother in law that usually complain if something dead isn't on their plate. I ordered about 5 cookbooks this year and this is by far my favorite. If you can only buy one vegan cookbook this is the one.

OMG this cook book is amazing! I am working my way through doing at least one recipe a week and have LOVED everything so far. Highly recommend this book, the recipes are delicious, easy to make and very inexpensive.

While I'm not 100% Vegan the recipes in this book are easy to make and really freakin good. But the biggest compliment of all, even my 14 year old son liked it and he's a huge carnivore. Well done, great pictures and easy instructions.

I gave it one star for great pictures. Recipes are not frugal, not user friendly. Many use small portions of the typical container leaving the rest of the perishable to stick in your frig and maybe use later? To complete a recipe you are referenced back to one or more other recipes that must be completed before you can continue. Example: Twice-Baked Potato Bites (page 149). Recipe calls for 3/4 cup Vegan Sour Cream from page 167( p.167 recipes only makes 1/2 cup; are you suppose to make double portions and throw away the extra 1/4?). Tiny print hard to read (look at the contents page). There are some shopping tips that are simplistic. You can find better online for free.

Excellent recipes really helpful

As a vegan for 10 years looking for some new recipes. These recipes were all very basic and probably meant for people who have a few meatless meals a week.

The recipes are good. However, it would have been a better bound book, if it had a spiral binding. The first purchased book had to be returned.

Love this book. Lots of recipes

Was a got and they love it
