check out this guy's review of VCon.
The upside to Veganomicon is the hardcover, and conversational aspect of the writing. The downside is no accounting of the value of the food- protein? Carbs? Calories? Don't kid yourself that veganism is healthy. Most vegans are chunky to start with, and lack of sufficient protein poses heart health risks for men as they enter their 30s/40s. It's DEPRESSING that "The Sneaky Chef" has more vegan nutrition boosters than this book.
What an absolute moron. >:( ;D ::)
he's just jealous of our vegan sexiness.

Exactly! 8-)
I do not eat hummus everyday, but I love it! I really need to get this book.
Is he judging an EVERY vegan's eating habits based on ONE cookbook? What an idiot! I could say pretty much the same sh** about the SAD diet after reading one of Paula Deen's cookbooks

;D ;D
check out his other reviews.. yeah, he's really a "veg*n expert" and NOT a failed wannabe self-made filmmaker or anything.
sad sad little man.
What a jerk! I had to repost this on the ppk! Here's what Isa said:
The chunky thing doesn't bother me so much, but this sentence does:
"Veganomicon is filled with staples, which is perhaps the whole point, but I was hoping for something more than variations of a theme, or repetitions from almost every vegan cookbook (sandwhiches, soups, salads, baked goods.)"
Yeah, I am SO SICK of cookbooks that have baked goods and soups! Everyone does that! Why don't you have a recipe for bricks and flowers?!

o.m.g. I always have been looking for a way to veganize my mom's famous brick n mortar etouffe with daisy bouillabaisse.
oh Isa.. my culinary crush grows..
Has he met most omnis? :-D

;D Yeah, no shit! I love her...
I love all of the replies to his comment. In one of his own replies, he tries to clarify by saying that people need 20 grams of protein and that is hard to do on a vegan diet. Huh? a plate of brown rice and some veggies has that much protein. That guy is a tool, and I :)>>> Isa.
I hit "no" this review was not helpful. Ugh........the old protein arguement.
i think he must have meant to say that "most vegans are phat".
to which i say,
true dat! ;)b
