This is one of the oddest cookbooks I've ever seen, but I really like it. If you will be offended by the author's references to Black Metal and Satan and the like, pass it up. Otherwise, I recommend it. The "Chili of Holy Terror" is the best vegan chili I've ever made.

Amish Meadow Liquid Smoke, 4 fl ozThis is one of the best vegan cookzines ever. It is not some gourmet cookbook that assumes that everbody has the resources and access to ingredients as the Jones's. It is simply a collection of recipes from like minded folks that have been tested and trued to be delicous with the author's amazing suggestions on music. If you are the least bit intriqued you won't be dissapointed. I've been using these recipes for years.

Buy it. Everything I make from this book turns to gold. Culinary gold. It has a cool bear (godless killing machine) on the cover, but no bears required for these recipes. I mean, where else would one find TWO priceless methods of tofuloaf? Can you imagine something better? No....you cannot!
