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.

Leigh Saluzzi, co-owner of Cosmo’s Vegan Shoppe

“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. This book is a must for those who have always thought ‘going vegan’ is intimidating, complicated, expensive, and time-consuming.”
A. Breeze Harper, editor of Sistah Vegan: Black Female Vegans Speak on Food, Identity, Health, and Society

“I love this book! As a vegetarian for over twenty-four years, I know the amazing benefits of a vegan diet for the person and the planet. 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!”
Martha Theus, 21st Century Vegetarians blog, and co-author of “Throwin’ Down” Vegetarian Style!

Sarah Kramer, co-author of How It All Vegan

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.”

2.0 out of 5 stars a few good recipes, but... July 27, 2010
By hils
Format: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!

By J. Camp
Format:Paperback
I've been using this cookbook for the last few weeks and continue to be delighted by the high-quality meals, the easily accessible ingredients, and the simplicity of the instructions. The "Red Beans with Quinoa" and the "Fried Chik'n Seitan" rock my world. Buy this book and you won't be disappointed!

What else could the vegan/vegatarian need. Everyone likes comfort food, but the majority of the recipes include some kind of meat like bacon or poultry. This is terrific.
