Hi all! I've been looking through reviews of cookbooks like Lick It! and The Vegan Scoop, and none of them really seem to wow their readers. Do you have recommendations for other good sources of vegan ice cream/sorbet/frozen dessert recipes? What I'd especially like is a top-notch base recipe that I can play around with.

Hi there!

For xmas & my birthday (dec 26th), my family gave my Veganomicon, an immersion blender, and a pressure cooker!

So, I like cabbage and want to incorporate it into my cooking more (it's cheap, filling, has lots of vit C, etc.). I'd love to hear some of your favorite recipes incorporating cabbage. (Cabbage doesn't have to be the star of the dish, though.) Also, I'm not a big fan of coleslaw but I'm open to trying a slaw-like dish if it's something new/ ( Read more... )

My husband and I just bought La Dolce Vegan! and are excited to make some delicious vegan fare. But, as with any cookbook, the number of recipes is a bit intimidating ( Read more... )

I just got an 8 quart French Oven by Le Creueset.  I need some good recipes to choose from for the maiden voyage!
