Book Description

October 1, 2009
A born food-lover, raised in California on “the best Mexican food in the country” and her father’s “traditional Southern soul food,” Alicia C. Simpson couldn’t imagine giving up her favorite dishes to become vegan. Animal-free food might be healthier, but could it match the tastes of home—like fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, or a bowl of chili? Three years after Alicia took the vegan plunge, Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food answers that question with a resounding “yes!”

Here is the essential cookbook for any of America’s more than 6 million vegans who miss the down-home tastes they remember (or want to try), or for vegetarians and even meat-eaters who want to add more plant-based foods to their diets, but don’t know where to start. Comfort-seeking cooks will find:
  • Easy-to-prepare, animal-free versions of classics like Spicy Buffalo Bites, Ultimate Nachos, Baked Ziti and more
  • 65 delicious combinations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with flavors from around the world, like “Chinese Take-In” or “Tijuana Torpedo”
  • Everything you need to know to start your vegan pantry, and why being vegan is easier, less expensive, and more delicious than you might think.

With spirit and style, Alicia shows just how easy—yes, and comforting—vegan food can be.

“Alicia C. Simpson’s book is a wonderful entrée into the world of vegan cooking for those who are just getting acquainted with what veganism has to offer, as well as those on a tight budget. Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food educates readers about yummy plant-based sources of protein, calcium, and iron—as well as how easy, cheap, flavorful, and quick it is to make healthy vegan snacks, smoothies, and dishes.

I love how Alicia shares personal insights and delicious Southern-inspired recipes, making veganism easy and accessible to the masses. From the section on ‘Vegan Myths’ all the way to the decadent vegan desserts that remind me of mother’s cooking, Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food has something for everyone. The world is changing and consciousness is rising. People are searching for a more compassionate way of living, but may not know where to start. Alicia’s book is a must-have and will be a permanent part of my cookbook collection. I highly recommend it to all of my readers!”

Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food has made it possible for us to enjoy many of the classic comfort foods we once enjoyed—favorites such as Mac and Cheeze, Collard Greens, and Sweet Potato Pie. Guess what though? It is all vegan!”
Traci Thomas, founder of the Black Vegetarian Society of Georgia

“Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food is one of the better vegan recipe books that I've come across in the approximately two decades that I've lived a vegan lifestyle.”

5.0 out of 5 stars A new favorite, November 23, 2009

This review is from: Quick & Easy Vegan Comfort Food: 65 Everyday Meal Ideas for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with Over 150 Great-Tasting, Down-Home Recipes (Paperback)
This is one of the top five cookbooks I plan on rescuing in case of house fire. Just kidding, but I would immediately go out and get it again! Buy this book -- it's worth it just for the mac and cheeze, orange chick'n, and buffalo bites recipes. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Did I mention the mac and cheeze? It's not a nutritional yeast sauce! It's incredible!

This book has a good range of simple idea-type recipes -- as in, recipes you can really put together quickly and throw in your own substitutions -- plus more still-easy-but-complex-in-flavor recipes for the scratch cook. Oh and I can't say enough about the barbecue sauce, too. I'm picky picky picky about BBQ sauce and the one in this book plus the one in Veganomicon are to live for.

This is my first attempt to start reviewing some of the zillions of cookbooks I own. Happy cooking!

2.0 out of 5 stars a few good recipes, but..., July 27, 2010
This review is from: Quick & Easy Vegan Comfort Food: 65 Everyday Meal Ideas for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with Over 150 Great-Tasting, Down-Home Recipes (Paperback)
I was really disappointed by this book! I read a lot of great reviews, but when I got around to cooking with it myself, I found most of the recipes to be overly simplistic. There are some gems in here, to be sure, but I don't think the author really had enough recipes to justify a whole cookbook, so she started throwing in some real no brainers. There's a recipe for "dinner salad" that just lists 5 or 6 basic salad ingredients (seriously?). "Mini Pizza's" are just english muffins, pizza sauce, fake meat & fake cheese. There are probably 15 recipes like that... super duper basic things that anyone can think up on their own.

Another concern was the use of processed food items. Far too many recipes relied on expensive substitutes like fake meat and cheese. She even calls for specific brands at times, one of which she recommends ordering from the internet. I'm more interested in cooking with ingredients I can easily access for a reasonable price.

If you are JUST STARTING OUT as a vegan and cook, this book might be helpful for you. If you are a seasoned vegan, pass this one by. Veganomicon is far superior!

With some books you have to buy special food items to make anything. This book makes it possible to find the ingredients in your pantry. Very easy!
