Step aside, carnivorous misconceptions.
One of the questions I've heard most often throughout my years so far being Vegan, "Don't you miss (insert comfort food here)??" I have only one way of answering that inquiry, and that is by saying, "No". However, there are two reasons for that one answer. One, I don't miss animal products in my life (or in my mouth for that matter). I feel better all around having excluded them, physically, and mentally. And two,
"No", because I still have those comfort foods!! Thanks to people like Alicia Simpson of Atlanta, who is the author of the incredible cookbook, "Vegan Comfort Food". And, of course, thanks to my wonderful boyfriend for getting me the book for Christmas. ;)
So far from this amazingly simple and cost effective publication, we have enjoyed AMAZING banana pancakes, Mac & Cheeze, Tempeh "Tuna" Salad, as well as super easy and delicious Potato Salad!
And what would comfort food be without cornbread?? Well, not very comforting at all. Even better? Adding blueberries and pouring into a muffin tin! This recipe took about five minutes to put together, and 20 minutes to bake to perfection.
Vegan or not, I seriously recommend this book.
Great if you are cooking for someone who needs to cut back on their cholesterol.
Alicia Simpson, I salute you!
I'm not a vegan, but a vegetarian and often like to indulge in vegan comfort food. Thanks so much for introducing this book to me, I haven't heard of it or seen it in the U.K (yet).
