Vegan Family Meals Reviews

vegan Vegan Family Meals Reviews“For the omnivore, the problem with so many vegan cookbooks is they can be so heavy with specialty vegan ingredients and/or laden with so many other health claims (gluten-free, low cholesterol), that they can read — and taste — more like a medical prescription than potential weekend palate entertainment. That is refreshingly not the case with Ann Gentry’s new Vegan Family Meals: Real Food for Everyone, a cookbook that is aimed as much, or perhaps even more, at the intermittent vegan than the diehard soy cheese advocate.” ––LA Weekly http://bit.ly/nPd0iQ

“First of all, I love that these are meals that I would actually make for my family. The recipes are not too hoity toity or “out there.” I love that there are pictures to go with most of the recipes, and boy, they look yummy! I recommend this cookbook to all of you who want to experiment with new healthy foods and want to make delicious meals that everyone will enjoy.” ––Your World http://bit.ly/qIM8R8

Ann Gentry “understands … how to get finicky mini eaters to try new dishes.” —People.com

“Gentry is a pioneer in the world of vegan cuisine.” —She Knows/Miso Vegan

“Vegan Family Meals is filled with recipes that will appeal to all sorts of people.” —The Oregonian

My Niçoise

nicoise My Niçoise—From Vegan Family Meals by Ann Gentry/Andrews McMeel Publishing

Depending on how strict you are, a Niçoise salad without tuna can still be called a Niçoise. This traditional salad has always been vegetable-based, with interesting flavors and textures coming from thin green beans, olives, and tomatoes, among the many other ingredients. I like to toss the components together in a bowl, combining the flavors and textures, rather than arranging some elements separately on a platter, as is done for a composed salad. Instead of tuna, I use homemade Peppercorn-Crusted Tofu Chèvre.

Serves 4

8 ounces slender green beans (such as haricots verts), trimmed
4 medium red-skinned potatoes (about 1 pound total), cut into ½-inch-thick wedges

Vinaigrette:
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 small shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Gluten- and Soy-Free Waffles with Summer Berry or Apple-Pear Compote

waffles Gluten  and Soy Free Waffles with Summer Berry or Apple Pear Compote—From Vegan Family Meals by Ann Gentry/Andrews McMeel Publishing

When you bite into this crisp waffle with its soft fruit compote, whipped cream, and maple syrup, it is amazingly delicious. The waffles’ almond flavor also pairs nicely with apricots, so another way to enjoy these crispy cakes is to simply spread apricot jam on top. Both the powdered egg replacer and the xanthan gum can be found at regular grocery stores as well as natural foods stores: These two ingredients take the place of eggs, helping the flours bind.

Makes about 5 waffles

3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon powdered egg replacer
2 cups almond milk
3 tablespoons agave nectar
1 tablespoon sunflower or safflower oil
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 ½ cups brown rice flour
¼ cup almond meal
¼ cup tapioca flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
Nonaerosol nonstick cooking spray
Apple-Pear Compote (recipe follows) or Summer Berry Compote (recipe follows)
Soy whipped topping or Tofu Whipped Cream (recipe follows), for serving
Pure maple syrup
Toasted sliced almonds

Preheat a standard waffle iron over high heat. Whisk the 3 tablespoons water with the egg replacer in a medium bowl until well blended. Whisk in the 2 cups almond milk, the agave nectar, oil, and almond extract.
