Review:

"Spending time with [Moskowitz's] cheerfully politicized book feels like hanging out with Grace Paley. She and her cooking partner, Terry Hope Romero, are as crude and funny when kibitzing as they are subtle and intuitive when putting together vegan dishes that are full of non-soggy adult tastes. Do look for an excellent roasted fennel and hazelnut salad, bok choy cooked with crispy shallots and sesame seeds, hot and sour soup with wood ears and napa cabbage and a porcini-wild rice soup they say is 'perfect for serving your yuppie friends.'"-New York Times Book Review

"Exuberant and unapologetic, Moskowitz and Romero's recipes don't skimp on fat or flavor, and the eclectic collection of dishes is a testament to the authors' sincere love of cooking and culinary exploration."-Saveur
"[T]his slam-bang effort from vegan chefs Moskowitz and Romero is thorough and robust, making admirable use of every fruit and vegetable under the sun."-Publishers Weekly
"Full of recipes for which even a carnivore would give up a night of meat."-San Francisco Chronicle

"It's no shocker that the very same urban chefs who had you inhaling vegan butter-cream frosting during your free time have crafted the next revolution in neo-vegan cuisine."-Philadelphia City Paper
"Veganomicon not only offers tons of mouth-watering ways to put 'veg' back into your vegan diet with actual produce, but also tutorials that gave me confidence to start improvising on my own."-Bust

"Veganomicon is user-friendly, packed with tips and instructions for a wide range of cooking techniques."-New York Sun

"The Betty Crocker's Cookbook of the vegan world. It's one more step in the quest to prove that vegan food really doesn't taste like cardboard when you know what you're doing."-Bitch

"Seriously good with broad appeal."-Washington Post

"These two very real and very sassy food-obsessed women have put together a cookbook that you wish your mom cooked from when you were growing up. The recipes are seriously delicious and, for the most part, uncomplicated."
―Buffalo Spree
