I Love Cooking Southern
I just love this book. The author has a way of making you feel like you are deep down in the south, in the kitchen cooking with her. The recipes are good and all have the down south feel and taste. So if you are vegan/vegetarian and have a yearning for down south food, order this book, you will not be disapponted.
Vegan Comfort Food
My husband and I have been vegans for two years, and most of the cookbooks I tried have either ethnic food (which can be great) or haute cuisine with 500 ingredients (which can also be great). But often what I really want to eat is comfort food--food my mom used to cook, but vegan. If that is what you need, this is the cookbook for you.
I own 2 dozen vegetarian or vegan cookbooks, but this is the only one I really use. Not only is every recipe delicious, but the author teaches you how to substitute non-animal ingredients to make your favorite dishes. Plus, she is fun and chatty--just the sort of person you want to share your kitchen with.
Amazing
I chose this cookbook based on reviews and WOW! My family has loved every recipe we've tried...corn pudding, pineapple/pecan upside down cake, shortning bread fried "chicken," "fish" sandwiches, apple cobbler. This is probably the best cookbook I've found in a long, long time. Fabulous food, fun, chatty style. Really innovative (I've never seen vegetarian versions of Southern food). I thought people were exaggerating when they said non-vegetarians loved certain of these dishes (yeah, not in my family, I thought) but I watched with astonishment as my husband polished off every last tofu "steak" on the platter, oblivious to the fact the rest of us wanted more--this is just not like him!
It's hardly the healthiest cookbook available--many things are fried or have tons of oil, like much traditional Southern cooking, but I've found I can reduce the fat/oil without any problems in the results (ie, The cobbler called for 2 cups of margarine (yeah, really!) but I only used 1/2 cup and it was still fabulous. Most (or all?) of the recipes are vegan. I'm not vegan, so sometimes I substitute eggs or milk, but I've also learned about new alternatives which has been fun. I adore this cookbook. Now I'm just afraid I'll never find another one I like as well!
Cookin' Southern Vegetarian Style
This is a good recipe book as it has a lot of different recipes that I would not have tried.
I'm addicted to gravy now...
Ok, so I grew up a northerner who never really had grits or white cornbread or a real live mess o' greens in my life. Now I am proud to say that even my carnivore southern husband will eat chicken fried tofu (and he hates tofu!) and just about anything else I make from Ann Jackson's excellent cookbook. I had been a vegetarian for years, a little fearful of going vegan, and this book helped make the leap effortlessly. The only problem is, now I am addicted to gravy. GRAVY for pete's sake! (not to mention the "addicting" tempeh chicken salad, cornbread stuffing, etc..) And I want Ann Jackson to know that I always wear my vintage kitty cat apron when I bake my vegan pies!
ps - my grandmother taught me how to make stickies when I was 5, but I never knew what to call them before.
