That's a smart idea - to make the biscuits separately. :)

At the risk of sounding stupid, I can't figure out the Tofu Florentine recipe. There are no instructions on how to prepare the tofu or what to use the braising sauce for. What am I missing?

The tofu is prepared as Basic Broiled Tofu (page 126). I don't know why the braising sauce ingredients are listed in the Tofu Florentine recipe because it is the same as the one listed for the broiled tofu.

Ok, that makes sense. I didn't see that it was the basic broiled tofu recipe in the florentine recipe. I've put making this recipe off for a long time because I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for your help!

I made the applesauce oatbran muffins (p.229)! But I did not use oat bran, I used wheat germ and it worked very well. It only needed about 20 minute baking time though!

The Chewy Chocolate-Raspberry Cookies taste amazing!

We made them today and thought they were fab!

I have been eating so much cauliflower lately and I really need to make the red lentil cauliflower. Why does this cookbook intimidate me a little?

I have some red lentils that have just been sitting on a shelf. And I could always run out & buy cauliflower... Or use broccoli instead.

I too feel intimidated by this cookbook. I don't even know why. Maybe because it's so much bigger than all my other ones! There's more to do in there.

I love Veganomicon but I know what you guys mean. I'm currently cooking my way through Appetite for Reduction with about 30 recipes to go (mostly vegetable sides & soups), and after that I'm going to do the same with Veganomicon.

Last night I did the hot sauce glazed tempeh, messy rice, and creole stuffed peppers. I'm eating leftovers right now. The peppers in particular are awesome.

The Red lentil cauliflower curry is awesome, as is the leek and bean cassoulet with biscuits, the tempeh shepherds pie, the potato-kale enchiladas, the root vegetable salad with maple fig dressing. Its pretty much the holy grail of vegan cookbooks

I'm making the cashew pineapple stir fry this week. That one's a first for me. Here's to yums to come!

It was really good. Really flavorful!

This is one of my faves. I really love it with whatever serving suggestion in VCON and also with the kasha and mushrooms and dill from Appetite for Reduction and whatever else Isa suggests you serve it with green-wise (don't have the books in front of me).

The Hot Sauce Glazed Tempeh was great with the Messy Rice. This week I'm looking forward to trying the Tempeh Shepherdess Pie. I decided to get over my fear of cooking with tempeh this month.

Has anyone tried the lower fat banana bread?

Yes & it's amazing. The recipe makes delicious muffins too.

molly · **Posted:** Wed Dec 28, 2011 9:26 am

I make it all the time but ruin the lower fat aspect by adding chocolate chips.

Anek · **Posted:** Thu Dec 29, 2011 12:50 pm

Me too! I always make it into muffins and add 1/2 cup chocolate chips. My go-to dessert.

Hello, does this cookbook include some cupcake and cookie recipes? I have a $30 gift card and am trying to decide whether to get Veganomicon or Appetite for Reduction and the Cookie or Cupcake book (I know great combo!). Gotta save room for dessert!

In other words is this Veganomicon cookbook more comprehensive and perhaps includes recipes from the other books?

I'm not sure if Veganomicon includes recipes from AFR, VCIYCJ, or VCTOTW; it does have a section of cookie & bar recipes, and some of the other baked goods recipes could be altered to make cupcakes instead of whole cakes, if you prefer.
The Veganomicon includes recipes for other baked goods, desserts, entrees, appetizers, it has a brunch section, salads...it really has a lot going for it. Just check out the look inside previews on Amazon and you should get a pretty good idea!

Given the choice, I would get Veganomicon, some of the cookies and bars are amazing and the rest of the book is fantastic. You won't be sorry.

This. I love AFR a lot, but Veganomicon is definitely more comprehensive and includes some delicious desserts (like smlove pie!)

Yes, I'd vote for Veganomicon. It's the most fantastic cookbook I've ever purchased.
