Review
In a world of meh, Alan Roettinger goes for extraordinary. "I want to make extraordinary food accessible to the average person." It's not about the Food Network, it's not about the Cordon Bleu and "it's not that difficult," says the author of the new cookbook "Extraoardinary Vegan." "It's about attention and love." --Ellen Kanner, Huffinton Post
There are over 100 recipes using plant-based foods that will open your eyes (and your taste-buds!) to a whole new world of vegan living. His cooking style and tantalizing recipes will make you want to take chances in the kitchen that you have never taken before. All the recipes in this cookbook are also gluten-free. Some of my favorite recipes include the Roasted Cauliflower and Beet Salad, Spicy Minted Slaw, and the Pears in Pomegranate Juice. This cookbook is perfect for those planning on making the upcoming resolution of eating and living a healthier lifestyle in the New Year. --Kathleen Reale, Be Free for Me
What I like very much about Extraordinary Vegan by Alan Roettinger, is the clarity of the book. Not only the myriad of attractive pictures, but the recipes themselves are clear and lead to easy preparation. For those not familiar with vegan cooking, which eschews the use of any animal products including honey, it can seem foreign and daunting. But Alan Roettinger puts it easily into one's grasp. --Amy Siegal, Gluten Free Maven
