“The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Vegan Cooking” Giveaway
Click here for Giveaways, Coupon Codes and more!
So you’ve thought you’d like to try some vegan cooking, but what in heaven’s name do those people use in place of milk and eggs? Or maybe you are a vegan already, and you want some new recipes to shake things up in the kitchen. No matter your reason for searching out a vegan cookbook, The Complete Idiot’s Guide series has a book loaded with great vegan recipes that’s sure to get your culinary imagination humming. It’s called The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Vegan Cooking.
My family isn’t vegan; I guess you’d call us weekday vegetarians. We eat a little meat on the weekends, and if there’s a special event we’ll often eat some then too. But to be perfectly honest, we all feel much better without the meat. So I’m always on the lookout for fresh new vegan and vegetarian recipes. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Vegan Cooking has been a real pleasure to use. The recipes cover everything from soups to breads to main courses to a delicious selection of desserts. I’ve been having a great time picking things out to cook, and my family is enjoying the recipe testing process. The recipes are easy to follow, and as with all of The Complete Idiot’s Guide series, it’s filled with great tips and information that will only enhance the cooking and eating experience. Another plus any cook can relate to: The book stays open while you cook. (Don’t you hate cookbooks that flop shut while you’re trying to read them?)
So if you’re ready to try baking an Orange Cranberry Loaf or Mushroom and Veggie Fajitas, or if your stomach’s been grumbling for some healthy desserts like Coconut-Almond Macaroons or Hot Fudge Pudding Cake, I’ve got great news! You can enter to win a copy of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Vegan Cooking right here!

to be honest, we used to eat alot of soy and other products growing up and never really grasped what mom was trying to teach me, and would love a refresher as we try it again in life- at least eat healthier. I personally go meatless but its hard in the full house here but if there were some better dishes that tasted better that might help
September 17th, 2008 at 10:13 am
I’ve been vegetarian since 2001 (and have never felt healthier) so all my cooking is meatless! I have some favourite cookbooks that I always recommend:
- for easy, everyday recipes: The Clueless Vegetarian (this one’s idea for those starting out as vegetarians and wondering what to cook)
- for everything you’d ever need to know: How to Cook Everything Vegetarian by Mark Bittman. It’s like a Joy of Cooking for vegetarians. Very thorough and great recipes.
- for impress-the-guests meals: Fresh, and ReFresh cookbooks from Fresh restaurant, my favourite restaurant ever has shared their recipes here.

We’ve been trying because our nephew comes from a vegan household… I have to learn more ideas so he can stay over more often!

I’m a vegetarian, but currently I do use lots of cheese and milk in my cooking. I want to make sure my kids will eat what I cook!
I would love to win this book; I feel so healthy when I eat vegan!
September 17th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Our daughter is fully responsible for opening our eyes to the vegan way of eating. The only time we eat meat is once in a while going out for a steak, but other than that, we have adopted a cruelty-free lifestyle. I hope in the next generation, more and more people will have the awareness raise about slaughterhouses, and unhealthy animal fats. cdziuba@aol.com

My husband and I have been vegetarian for 12+ years, but we’re now hoping to cut out some of the processed/packaged meat replacements we’ve been using because of their health and environmental impact. Although we have no great plans to go vegan, we would like to cut down on our consumption of animal products and having a cookbook like this would be a big help.
Thanks!
September 17th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
I am not a vegan or vegetarian however vegan cooking has piqued my interest this past year so this book would be perfect. We usually have meat with every meal but I would like to cut down on that some. Thanks for the chance to enter.

I have good friends who are vegan and they insist on bringing their own food to all group get togethers. I hate the diet coke cupcakes so I made a new attempt at a modified vegan dessert of peanut butter brownies at our latest party. I substituted canola oil for eggs, and they were rock hard and positively disgusting. You could soak the oil off like fried food. I will skip dessert and stick to guacamole and salsa unless I win this book!
September 17th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
My expirience with vegan cooking has been kind of..well.. yeah. I was never that great of a cook to begin with, so when I decided to drop everything animal-made and go raw I kind of limited myself dramatically. I’m learning slowly, but at the moment I can sure make one tasty salad ^-^
September 17th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I am a vegan, my three kids are vegetarians, and my husband is a carnivore. I cook the meatless fare, and if my husband chooses to add an animal to his plate, he cooks it himself. I love Vegan/Vegetarian food, particularly Indian and Thai fare. If anybody out there is new to veganism, or vegetarianism, but doesn’t want to cook all the time, Amy’s Kitchen makes the best ready-to-eat food. I had heard about The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Vegan Cooking before, and have wanted it since I rifled through it in Borders, and saw how fabulous it is.

I suppose I’m what is now being called a “flexitarian”: I eat and enjoy many vegetarian foods, but still eat meat. I’m trying to incorporate more vegan and lacto-ovo vegetarian meals into our diet, but my husband doesn’t always appreciate it. Last week I made a wonderful burrito filling with brown rice highly seasoned with taco-type seasonings, and lots of whole pinto beans, and my husband loved it! Now if only I could get my homemade wraps to taste as good… Thanks for the offer of an intriguing-sounding book!
September 17th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Hi, I have been a vegetarian since I have had the ability to know what I am eating! My husband and two sons are not. Jon has trouble knowing what to cook for the three of them and me. This book would be so helpful! We have pasta night with alfredo sauce, salad and fruit. Maybe this cookbook has some ideas that all four of use can enjoy together. I keep telling them red meat is not good. He does cook a lot of chicken and pork. Please enter me in your book drawing. Many thanks…..Cindi

What a wonderful giveaway. I am extremely interested in perfecting my cooking technique and repertoire. Many dishes that I do cook are vegetarian since I prefer that type of fare. This book would be a delight. Thanks for this practical book.

We went to a vegeterian pizza dinner once, enjoyed the food and the friendliness of the people we talked to there. Did think about trying some vegeterian/vegan cooking to join the vegan potluck at the women’s club in the neighbourhood but too worried about whether I was doing it right, so haven’t cooked any so far. This book might just be what I need
September 17th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
A close friend is vegetarian and I will give this to her. She’s always in the market for a good new recipe.
September 17th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
I used to be a vegetarian as a late teen and remember having a ton of energy….or was that just being younger….ha..ha. This cooking vegan guide could very well change things for me.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Several year back I benefitted from the culinary tutelage of a vegetarian roommate. Since then I have missed having her prowess while still enjoying meatless cuisine . . . even down here in the meat-loving South
September 17th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
I REALLY need this book!! My teenage daughter is a vegetarian, and I am clueless about how to cook so the entire family enjoys it. My idea of a meatless meal stops at bean burritos and fish sticks - and although I LOVE fish sticks (yuck, I know!), there are only so many days in a week. Getting some new ideas would help immensely. Also, gotta love a title that has the word “idiot” in it!
September 17th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
after I got my first job, I took a natural foods cooking class at the local university- all vegetarian food - great introduction to lots of legumes. After I bought my house I lived on legumes because they were so much cheaper than meat and I was on an extremely limited budget for several years!
September 17th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
We are vegetarian, we do eat seafood.
My experiences cooking have been absolutely great. I use soy milk, soy “meats,” soy based butter, tons of veggies and herbs, soy cheese, plain and flavored tofus of all dif textures, and I can generally make traditional meat and dairy dishes come out with taste and textures quite like the non-veg versions.
We don’t miss meat and tend to get more creative incorporating lots of fruits and veggies into our meals.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
I love vegetarian food. I grew up a vegetarian, my parents and sister are still vegetarian. I do eat meat now, but I still make meatless meals. My favorite is stuffed shells. I still find myself buying cheese subs when at a pizzeria.

I make a lot of vegetable stir fries with rice. I am a meat lover, but would love to get some vegan recipes to try for our health and the planet.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
We have a wonderful friend who is vegan, and I have only about 3 meals that I can make when she comes for dinner. Fortunately, she loves all of them, and so do we! The best one, I think is Moroccan Chickpeas with Vegetables, from Homemaker’s magazine. It’s really great, and my friend always says she appreciates all the chopping. (It’s not actually that much.) Now she is fighting breast cancer, and her doctor and nutritionist both say she should not have soy products. Fortunately, she can still have the chickpeas! This book would help both of us.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
i’m just starting to get into cooking and vegan cooking has been a real challenge to me because i have to be really careful about what ingredients i use. and it just seems like there are not enough choices when it comes to vegan cooking! this book would be really handy for me.

I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I’ve recently started cooking a lot of vegetarian dishes for health reasons. I, do however, have many vegan and vegetarian friends, so if I won this cookbook I’d probably give it as a gift to one of them.

I’ve been vegan for a long time now and without even realizing it had fully immersed myself in ‘vegan cooking’–that’s not just removal of eggs and milk and all, but integration of seitan, nutritional yeast, the works. My fiancee is hugely supportive for a man who loves meat, but sometimes he just suspiciously eyes his dinner plate, trying to figure out how soy can look so….weird. This book would probably help bring us to a compromise, keeping the meals cruelty-free for me, but perhaps a little more natural looking for him.

I have 2 vegan pals and when I am with them, the foods we can eat always suprises me. - I tend to make basic vegetarian dishes like mac and cheese and soy instedad of meat for bologneses, but if I don’t use cheese, there is usually eggs involved. I would love to win the book to find out more. (I always buy vegan cookies at whole foods because they tase yum!)

BEWARE - I just found out that a well known brand of soup has MSG! - Would love to have a shot at winning the book as want to get healthy and know whats in my food as I am trying to conceive.

I had to start looking for vegan baking ideas when we found out my son was allergic to eggs… still fiddling with it, actually. Technically I *can* bake with dairy, but don’t usually.
One problem I’ve had with vegan meals is that I didn’t adopt the practice early enough, so my kids are VERY resistant to eating beans and soy - they’re 2 and 4 so at an age to be picky. Sigh. So I’m having some trouble with a rounded diet, and we haven’t cut out all non-vegan options yet for that reason.
September 18th, 2008 at 11:21 am
I’m not vegan - but I incorporate vegan meals into our diet.

I am a SAHD and would love to win this as I am trying my hand at cooking and would love to get on the healthier side of life. I am sad to say my cooking is basic to say the least but at least I try. I was a vegetarian in my youth, and I was at my leanest and fittest naturally then. my son tends to not love meat, which is good to see. But he does like a boiled egg.
Great contest and thank you.

We make quite a few Indian vegtable recipes. The onions, garlic and spices make the dishes so tasty and interesting. They are not really difficult and are different.

I don’t do vegetarian cooking well…because I hate beans! I always look forward to recipes so I can eat less meat…hopefully this book won’t have BEAN recipes!!
September 18th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
I cook vegan meals every day. I was actually a vegetarian for a long time and within the past few years moved to a vegan diet. It’s actually been completely enlightening because there is so much food out there that is either naturally vegan, or can easily be made that way. I live in an area without a ton of options for restaurant dining, so I often prefer to cook because I can make exactly what I want.
I’ve helped a few people go vegan, and usually that means teaching a few really easy recipes that they can make in a pinch. I’ve even helped them figure out how to grocery shop.
I also love cookbooks. I enjoy learning other people’s recipes, and trying to figure out how to make them my own. This one looks awesome.

My daughter went vegan about 6 months ago and I’ll admit it scared the crap out of me because it was right before she was going to come home for spring break. I had no idea how to cook that way and I was pretty freaked out. I’ll admit it has been a challenge to try to make meals that everyone can enjoy but I’d rather do one meal for everybody than two separate meals. I’m not scared of it all anymore but I have sooooo much to learn. It’s been hard to find recipes so I’m thrilled there’s a book like this to help…I mean thrilled!!!! What she misses the most are the sweet treats and most of them she can’t eat because of the eggs and milk. I would absolutely love to bake some of the treats from the book and surprise her! I’m super fired up about this book, I can’t even tell you!

I would actually want this for my mom. She is trying to be a vegetarian, but she keeps saying that everything she cooks tastes like rubber….maybe this would help her out!

I have no experience with vegan cooking. I would like to go meatless but I have no idea where to start. This would be a great help. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have been a vegetarian for almost twenty years, but it sometimes difficult to get ideas for meals. I would love some creative ideas since I could definitely use them. I’d love to win this contest. Please enter me, thanks!!!!

I live on a sailboat for many months out of the year and depending on where we travel, meat is sometimes either very expensive or unavailable. In Spain and France it was very easy to get dry packaged Textured Vegetable Protein in a granular state which I could use for Spaghetti sauce, soups, and even sausages. This was a great alternative for us as it required no refrigeration and could be seasoned to taste like almost anything!

I have been a vegan my entire life (I won’t publish my age but I’m over 35)
I love seeing new ideas to add to mu tired and true favorites. Even my meat lover friends love my food. A good cook can make any food taste good

I have been wanting to become a vegetarian for a while now. I have cooked for my cousin who is a vegetarian and he food is quite delicious. Would love to have a book to help me cook vegan/Vegetarian dishes.

I am Newby to vegetarianisn, but my friend Myrna said it best when she informed me that she would not eat anything with a face.

I love veggie dishes but recipes for those and especially vegan are not as plentiful as others so this book would be great to have for new ideas.

Hello there.
I have been a Pescatarian, (which I just found out is a Vegetarian who eats fish sometimes) for about 7 or 8 years now.
One product I am mad for is the Morning Star Farms corn dogs.
My 6 year old loves them too. I think hot dogs was one of the few foods I missed, and this satisfies that craving big time.
It is hard to come up with Vegetarian meals 365 nights a year, so, I would be very interested in owning this book.
Thank you
I hope I win it!
Alice
