From the Author

Sarah Kramer:

When How It All Vegan!: Irresistible Recipes for an Animal-Free Diet was published in 1999, authors Tanya Barnard and Sarah Kramer were hailed for their fun and outlandish approach to vegan cooking, taking it out of the realm of the staid and the boring to create truly original animal-free dishes. Six printings and 40,000 copies later, How It All Vegan! was a BookSense 76 selection in the U.S. and is Arsenal’s best selling title to date.

The Garden of Vegan: How It All Vegan Again! picks up where the first book left off. Tanya and Sarah, vegan chefs extraordinaire, have created truly delectable, truly original new recipes that manage to leave the animal products (including butter, milk, cheese, and honey) where they belong, with their natural owners. Where How It All Vegan! was, in many ways, a bible for the uninitiated vegan, The Garden of Vegan goes one step further, offering recipes for a more sophisticated palate that add funky twists to familiar dishes bursting with colour and flavour. At the same time, they are fun and easy to prepare, even for those of us who find boiling water a challenge.

Whether you’re a full-time vegan or just interested in creating fabulous animal-free meals, The Garden of Vegan will lead you into temptation with its inspiring array of vegan goodies. So skip that steak and forget that fish. It’s time to discover how it all vegan, again! Two-colour throughout.

Reviewer: Amie from California, U.S.A.:

An awesome and simple cookbook. It begins where a new vegan would be --the beginning -- and only gets better from there. I recommend this book to all new vegans.

Reviewer: Molly from Wisconsin, U.S.A.:

Like How it all Vegan, I adore this cookbook. Not only does it provide great recipes with easy to find ingredients, but Sarah & Tanya give you great sections on how to throw different parties, 45 things to do with baking soda and First Aid tips. They also include resources and tips for vegans as well as provide a list of ingredients to avoid.

If I had to recommend two cookbooks to someone, they would be this one and How it all Vegan.
