I bought this cook book after my first visit to Horizon's cafe when it was in Willow Grove, PA. The food was so good, I knew I had to have the recipes. I have made several items from it now, and I have yet to be disappointed. Many of the recipes include seitan, so if you aren't a seitan lover, many of the entrees won't be appealing. I've had meat eaters prefer my vegan jerk chicken wings to the real thing!

this book is great, and they just came out with a new cookbook called horizons: new vegan cuisine. hopefully they start selling it on amazon so not only the privleged that live near the restaurant can get it!!

Mine is now falling apart I use it so often, I really love this cook book and consider it a star in my cookbook collection.
This cook book not only teaches some techniques, but also gives you the restaurant owner's flavors in recipes for spice blends.
The big early restaurant days favorites are in there, like bbq "ribs" as well as some of my favorite go to recipes such as seitan steak marsala.
The flavors are extremely well build and remind me what made this restaurant find its success.

I have been vegetarian for 18 years, but after my first visit to Horizons in 2008, I gained a new perspective on cooking. My favorites are the sage mustard sauce and seitan, white bean cassoulet, and tofu with avocado sauce. I now grill tofu several times a week and started making my own seitan from vital wheat gluten (much better than the packaged seitan). I use an indoor grill pan on the stove (not the recommended charcoal, but it is such an improvement from the preparation I used in the past. Get this book!

Thia cookbook is easy to follow even for the newer vegan/vegetarian.The results are great!

Amazing recipes from a fantastic restaurant. I've been going to Horizons for years and this cookbook not only includes some of their best recipes, they're actually fairly simple to make! Don't miss the Seitan Skewers with Curry BBQ Sauce - they are THE BEST and my non-vegetarian family members can't get enough of them!

I'm not a vegetarian, vegan, but I am a flexitarian- I eat meat a few days per week and try to keep it veggie on the weekdays, if possible. This is mostly for health reasons. I went to Horizon's restaurant on South Street, Philadelphia and I was blown away that vegetarian food tasted so good. This cookbook has been a great addition to our home as we experiment with new ways to cook our vegetarian meals. I would have loved it the chefs had added directions for making their seitan since that was the key to the meal. Still, it is a great addition and would highly recommend this.

After eating at this wonderful restaurant, I had to buy their cookbook. I have enjoyed each dish that I've made from it. The big, bold flavors just make eating vegan dishes a delight and the recipes are easy to follow.

So creative and inspiring, yet fairly easy to execute. The tofu "salmon" is a must!
