Review: Really love this cookbook - I have had all of Dreena's books. I love "Let Them Eat Vegan" --in particular the snack and dessert recipes. This new one is going to be my go-to though because it really makes cooking wholesome meals simple with basic and short ingredient lists and the recipes themselves can be put together quickly. I work long hours and just can't stand intense meals at the end of the day to feed my family. I'm not a novice cook but I also don't like to cool elaborate meals. I like quick and delicious meals with simple to find ingredients and this book delivers. So far we have had: -Home-Style Gravy (A top gravy pick of mine along with the Rich Brown Gravy from Vegan Diner) -Motsa Dip-(YUM! Would never have thought the ingredients used in this would combine to make something that tastes so mozza-like) -Savory Chickpea Omelets (The only negative I can say here is I think turmeric was left off the ing. list to add yellow coloring like the picture) -Best Banana Bread (So light and fluffy. I made these without choc chips and was still fantastic) -Apple Spice Hemp Muffins (These came out a little dense for me. I'm going to try again though. They are a great way to refuel after a workout). -Chickpea Nibbles (A great basic snack) -White Bean Guac (Easy and filling. Great on tortillas. My 5 year old loves this-great way to get protein and healthy fat into her) -Red Lentil Hummus (I liked this but the rest of the fam felt there was a bit too much coriander. I'll try again with half the amount) -Seasoned Polenta Croutons (My 5 year old made these herself, except for the oven part. So easy and delicious. Great for snacking or lunch boxes) -Balsamic Glazed Seasoned Yam Fries (I'm a sucker for yams. These are awesome! Making a batch for myself for lunch this week) -Autumn Dinner Loaf (YUM! This might be my absolute favorite vegan loaf. I'm going to add Italian spices in next time and make "meat"balls) -Lentil Pumpkin Seed Pie (Easy and fantastic) -Chocolate Chia Pudding (I decided to take this recipe up a notch by adding maple syrup and peanut butter and wow-indulgent) -Peanut Butter Pudding with Berrylicious Swirl (I could eat this everyday. It's a great healthy and fun snack for kids.) -Lemon Kissed Blondie Bites (I love all of Dreena's date based energy balls and bars and these are no exception) -Pink-sicles! (really easy and delicious) -Crazy Brownies-just finished making and trying these and all I can say is I'm in love and this recipe alone is enough to have this book on your shelf. I am loving cooking my way through this book and also the wealth of knowledge Dreena has included in regards to raising weegans. This is an excellent book. I'm so glad to have it. Another plus is that because a lot of the recipes aren't difficult and with the addition of the photos I could see my daughter wanting to select recipes to try out and as she grows older even make by herself. It would be a great item to give to a college student trying to eat a healthy vegan diet away at school because all of the recipes are easy and the ingredients are inexpensive.
Review: My favorite cookbook! - So, I have cooked exclusively from this cookbook for 2 weeks, and am ABSOLUTELY AMAZED by how good these recipes are! Here are the pros and cons for this book: Disclaimer: I am not entirely vegan (only 80-90% of the time when I can), but am very passionate about eating plant-based. I also went to culinary school in Paris, so I am experienced in making both vegan and omni recipes. PROS: 1. Although all of Dreena's cookbooks are amazingly healthy, this book is the HEALTHIEST yet! There is absolutely NO white flour, white sugar, proceed anything in this book. On top of that, this book is completely OIL-FREE. Although the recipes are higher in fat than, say, what is recommended in the McDougall, or Dr. Esselstyn's diets-- the fat percentage is around 20-30% in most recipes, they are fats from whole foods. Dreena has used beans, nut/seed butters, or coconut butter to add protein and additional nutrients, and not to mention creamy texture to her dishes. I especially enjoyed the dessert recipes, which taste even better than any other vegan or non-vegan recipes I have tried, and would definitely be perfect treats even for those doing low-fat vegan. 2. Gluten free, soy free, nut free options: one of the main things I observed with Dreena's last book, "Let Them Eat Vegan", was the abundant use of nuts, which is not a problem at all for me (I love nuts!), but may be a factor of concern for those who have nut allergies. In this book, many of the recipes that require nuts, soy, or gluten are either revised to be allergen free, or include thoughtful and creative options for those who are allergic. What's more, in place of nuts, Dreena has used vegetables to create the same creaminess-- which makes for even more nutritious recipes. For example, the cashew-based Vegveeta dip from LTEV, which I LOVE, is now made with potatoes and oats and is even yummier :) 3. DESSERTS and BAKED GOODS: oh wow-- I cannot say enough great things about Dreena's baked goods. I literally baked my way through every dessert recipe in LTEV, and am already halfway through the dessert chapter in this book, and so far every recipe I have made have been A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I recommend the Dreamy Baked Bananas (topped with Banana Butter Ice Cream), Crazy brownies -- which are made from potatoes, chickpeas, and tahini, but taste better than most of the non-vegan brownies I have had, and vanilla bean chocolate chip cookies (I recommend hunting down vanilla bean powder for this! yum!). 4. Pictures: what a treat! Almost every recipe in this book has a picture, which are beautifully photographed, and look absolutely scrumptious. This is a huge change from Dreena's previous cookbooks, and a great change indeed! 5. Balanced, fresh and bright flavors: I found the flavors of the dishes in the book to be very balanced. And although the flavors are quite mild, Dreena has skillfully brightened the flavors of her dishes with a restrained yet balanced use of acid and sweetness. Incidentally, on top of being kid-friendly, I found that the mild and fresh-flavored dishes to be very easy to digest as well. CONS (Which are non-issues for me personally): 1. Repeated recipes: as a few reviewers have pointed out, this book contains a few repeated recipes. These include 1) recipes that were already published elsewhere (these are mostly oil-free recipes from her Plant-powered 15 cookbook, and the China Study All-Star cookbook), and 2) popular recipes from her previous books, but improved and made allergen-free. I personally don't mind category 1), and LOVE the category 2) recipes. I was SO excited to finally see the greatist past "hits" made EVEN healthier and simpler! But again, if repeated recipes is an issue, or if you already are tweaking Dreena's old recipes, this a point to take note of. 2. Fewer recipes as compared to her other cookbooks: this, I suspect, is due to the need to include photos for the cookbook, which would take up twice the amount of space compared to, say, if there were no pictures. Again, this is a non-issue for me because i LOVE photos in cookbooks. RECIPES I LIKED. Just to name a few, these include: Breakfasts: Pumpkin pie smoothie, Chunky Monkey smoothie, Best Banana Bread Lunch Fixes:Potato-Meets-Egg Salad, Chickpea nibbles Dips and spreads: Mild Cheesy Dip (this is the variation of the Vegveeta Dip), Red Lentil Hummus, Pumpkincredible Hummus Soups and Stews: Smoky Bean Chilli, Cream of Cauliflower Soup Pizza and Pasta: Mac-nificient (this was even better than the Mac-oh-geez in LTEV! yum) Burgers n' Fries n' Such: Umami Sun-Dried Tomato and Almond Burgers (this was SO good and flavorful-- a must-try), "SweetBalls" Desserts Puddings, Creams and Sauces: Peanut Butter Pudding with Berrylicious Swirl, Milk Chocolate Fudge Sauce Cookies, Bars, and Energy Bites: Crazy Brownies, Vanilla Bean Chocolate Chip Cookies, "Nicer" Krispie Squares, Sticky Almond Blondies, Nut-Free- "Frosted Brawnies", Vanilla Bean Almond Butter Fudge (yeeeah I pretty much adore this entire chapter ;p) Frozen treats: Banana Butter ice cream Cakes and Frostings: Chocolate Sweet Potato Cake, Chocolate ganache Extras!: Dreamy Baked Bananas, (and I am also very excited about making The Great Pumpkin Pie!, which has an oat crust.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple plant-based recipes that your family will love
*by J***N on July 20, 2015*

As we've gotten more and more into eating plant-based, I have scoured the internet looking for recipes that everyone in my family likes and that aren't impossible to make or find ingredients for. That's ended up being a really hard to do. There are so many books out there that seem geared toward a cook that has a lot of time on their hands and seem to only publish recipes designed to impress instead of giving me the tools I need to create good tasting, wholesome, plant-based meals. This book does just that. There is not a recipe in Plant-Powered Families that we haven't liked yet and they are all simple and made with things you can find at your local supermarket. None of the recipes contain oil or brand name meat substitute, another thing that most other vegan-based books do, and nothing is so complicated that it'll take you hours just to make. Some of the recipes could even be considered too simple, like the ta'quinoas which is basically just "mix cooked quinoa with spicy chili and serve", but it gives ideas for getting more vegetables and grains into our old standbys, which is exactly what I was looking for. I'll also state that the desserts are equally great. The chia-based puddings are something that I've always though possible but never could get right. This book finally had a doable recipe that make it all click together and I now plan on experimenting more with these tips in mind.
