PRAISE FOR VEGAN EATS WORLD:

Vegan Eats World is a worldwide culinary tour featuring some of the most imaginative vegan dishes I have ever encountered.... Romeros inspiration came from almost every corner of the planet.... The main lesson to be learned from this cookbook is that plant-based meals need not be bland or uninspired. The international recipes selected for this cookbook are not just healthy choices but also delicious ones.... I recommend this cookbook, regardless of whether you are a vegetarian. The recipes are accessible and innovative.

TUCSON CITIZEN

Romero plays culinary tour guide on a romp across the globe that sees scores of distinctive dishes filtered through a vegan spyglass.... Perhaps the greatest success Romero delivers is in making an interesting variety of vegan recipes accessible to the everyday home cook. Many of these dishes are the kind of thing youd want to eat just because your palate was feeling curious, not out of adherence to any specific diet.

VEGNEWS

In Romeros kitchen, firm tofu is turned into a chewy, smoky pan-fried vegan stunt-double for chicharrn, the fried pork rinds popular in the Caribbean, while ceviche is reimagined with mushrooms or heart of palms.

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Loaded with attitude to show that vegan cooking can be an absolute blast and doesnt have to rely on faux meats and pretend cheeses to taste good....

PORTLAND OREGONIAN

[Romero] comes to the rescue of cooks whose imagination limits their vegan output, and vegans who would like more Latin dishes on their menus. There is a great selection of dishes that everyone will enjoy.... Crepes with Un-Dulce de Leche and Sweet Plantains are swoon-worthy.... Bottom Line: Would I buy Viva Vegan!? S.

What sets Romeros recipes apart from other vegan fare is her reliance on standard kitchen ingredientsnot creepy faux meats.... Her recipes ultimately rely on fresh ingredients, creating healthier, lighter versions of otherwise traditionally heavy meals.

SACRAMENTO BOOK REVIEW

PRAISE FOR VEGANOMICON:

Spending time with [Moskowitzs] cheerfully politicized book feels like hanging out with Grade Paley. She and her cooking partner, Terry Hope Romero, are as crude and funny when kibitzing as they are subtle and intuitive when putting together vegan dishes that are full of nonsoggy adult tastes.... Do look for an excellent roasted fennel and hazelnut salad, bok choy cooked with crispy shallots and sesame seeds, hot and sour soup with wood ears and napa cabbage and a porcini-wild rice soup they say is perfect for serving your yuppie friends.

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Exuberant and unapologetic.... Moskowitz and Romeros recipes dont skimp on fat or flavor, and the eclectic collection of dishes is a testament to the authors sincere love of cooking and culinary exploration.

SAVEUR

[T]his slam-bang effort from vegan chefs Moskowitz and Romero is thorough and robust, making admirable use of every fruit and vegetable under the sun.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Full of recipes for which even a carnivore would give up a night of meat.

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

Its no shocker that the very same urban chefs who had you inhaling vegan butter-cream frosting during your free time have crafted the next revolution in neo-vegan cuisine.

PHILADELPHIA CITY PAPER

Veganomicon not only offers tons of mouthwatering ways to put veg back into your vegan diet with actual produce but also tutorials that gave me confidence to start improvising on my own.

BUST

Veganomicon is user-friendly, packed with tips and instructions for a wide range of cooking techniques.

NEW YORK SUN

The Betty Crockers Cookbook of the vegan world.... Its one more step in the quest to prove that vegan food really doesnt taste like cardboard when you know what youre doing.

BITCH

Seriously good with broad appeal.
