Book Reviews of The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat
Book Review: great book, excellent for entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this book as a Christmas gift. After flipping through it, I thought the recipes to be weird and complex. I put it on the shelf for 6 months.
I recently took a look at it again, created some of the recipes and they are excellent!! Yes, some of them are time consuming, but you have to keep in mind that Tal is a chef, so these recipes are of his caliber. I do not like Gardein so I use seitan that I make or tofu instead. I made the Piccata using tofu and it was fast, easy and delicious!! I (and my family) also love the Sweet Onion Beggar's Purses. It does take some time to make the onion jam, but the whole recipe is easy and delicious!! I only made half the recipe and saved the rest of the onion jam to make these again another day.
I have also made the Artichoke & Ricotta Tortellini with Saffron Cream Sauce and it was great!! Like all handmade pastas, it was a labor of love and time consuming, but well worth it and delicious!! I ponied up $10 for saffron and I was not disappointed!! It is so delicious and I have enough leftover for many other recipes. I do not have a pasta roller and I tried (and failed) to use the KitchenAid pasta attachment, so I just rolled the dough out thin and flat. A great way to take some time out of handmade pastas is to assemble them and put them in the fridge or freezer until the day you want to serve them. That way you can just boil some water, make the sauce, cook the tortellini and serve.
I highly recommend this book if you love cooking, have some prior knowledge and technique and for entertaining, especially those who are not vegan or vegetarian. These are sophisticated recipes and take some time yet well worth it, especially if you have been vegan for a long time and are looking for new and exciting recipes.

Summary of The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat
THE CONSCIOUS COOK is a breakthrough in vegan cuisine. By teaching readers how to make truly satisfying and delicious meals without the meat and dairy? it makes the shift to a vegan lifestyle easy.
A former steak lover himself? Chef Tal struggled for years on a vegan diet that left him hungry and filled with cravings for butter and meat. About ten years ago? he decided that the best way to satisfy his dietary desires was to make food that was good enough for "foodies" and could gratify his cravings for rich flavor and fat. The solution? Create vegan meals with substantial proteins that could literally change the way people eat. He studied all aspects of non?meat proteins and today is widely regarded as the expert in the field? developing new concepts for meals and sauces and helping to improve textures for food companies such as Gardein (the provider of vegetable proteins used by
Morningstar Farms? It?s All Good? Trader Joe?s brands? and the prepared food department of Whole Foods? to name a few).
THE CONSCIOUS COOK features a center?of?the?plate protein in all of its entrees?a first for vegan cookbooks. Seventy?five original recipes are organized by categories that include starters and small plates? soups and salads? entrees? and desserts. Each recipe is accompanied by stunning full?color photographs.
