Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've become a vegan book hoarder and all of them are beautifully designed and interesting. But quite a few I rarely use because they have either light print - hard to read unless in the best of light - or dust covers that keep falling off and recipes/ingredients too complicated for every day cooking. The first thing I noticed about Miyoko's book was the print. With my eyesight that's important. Even the smallest print can be read in the worst light (which is often the time I'm cooking) and the lovely rustic photo is on the hard cover - no dust cover falling off or getting in the way. The recipes are uncomplicated and easy to follow from basic ketchup, creme fraiche,yuba bacon, unsausage,custard, baking mix, and much more. I didn't realize how easy it is to make your own staples, it's going to save me a ton of money and searching round the shops. Try finding yuba where I live (you won't.) It takes minutes to make and all you need is 4 cups of soy milk! Already I'm stocked with pancake mix, butter, crackers, pizza dough, ranch dressing and fresh (handmade) pasta. None were difficult to make. Tonight I'm going to try the italian meatballs - very interesting recipe. So far, I've not had to buy one ingredient - I've found them all in my usual vegan pantry stock. I couldn't be more delighted.
