This was awesome! Easy to learn from this cook, and he is very laid back... it's ok if you make mistakes! These are great recipes for vegan foods, and they are some you could serve to your meat-eating friends who would enjoy it just as well! I've tried several recipes- they're absolutely delicious! If you're looking for something different and new, you WILL NOT be disappointed. If you can get past some of the language, he's entertaining as well.

Kerry shows how to cook vegan food with a can-do punk rock DIY attitude. He makes it look easy, in that things don't have to be perfect, if you have tasty ingredients. I would say that he should cook the onions a little longer so they have that caramelized sweetness that makes it better, and not crunchy. His sloppy joe recipe looked good, but he put too much pepper(and he admitted it)in it. I am eager to try the recipes, and I love the titles of the recipes. Perfect DVD for veg-curious punk rockers and their compatriots. In the end he visits Food Fight Grocery in Portland, Oregon and he recommends various vegan resources.

My true rating is more like a three and a half stars. I agree that he can be a bit vulgar, but I like his spirit. Also, it's fun to see a young guy cook and not make apologies for it! It's worth a watch. It educated me on seitan, since I'm new to the vegan scene.

I can put up with some foul language if I'm watching a really good film. I won't tolerate it while watching a cooking show. Yeah, the recipes are worth trying, but the language is far too foul and distracting. It's tough for me to get through the program without becoming VERY irritated. I can't watch this DVD on a TV anywhere near the kitchen. I don't want kids picking up all these words I don't want them to say. And, when the dude is not swearing.. he's saying the word "awesome" about a bazillion times. Good thing I got this video from the library, and didn't spend any money on it.

Not only does the chef's personable attitude and the colorful background make it fun to watch but the recipes have punchy names and are both hearty and relatively inexpensive to make. This cooking DVD defies the "rabbit food" stereotypes usually geared towards vegan/vegetarian diets and is accompanied by a hardcore soundtrack! I found myself giggling at some of the ingredients lists and the recipe names. My favorite being "Eviction Notice Sloppy Joes" (for when your roommate is stealing your rent money).

The only thing I would suggest is more desserts!

i love kerry. he's my idol. i especially loved this dvd because of the personal stories that he adds in and also because he makes mistakes and leaves them in. so it makes you feel like you're watching a real person, like yourself, in the kitchen in stead of a food tv person. i can't say enough. an overall win of a dvd.

I finally got this for Christmas, and it is one of my favorite gifts.

The chef does a great job describing the recipes, while making you laugh, as well as cussing a few times. The recipes are amazingly delicious, not to mention good for you, and unnecessarily cruel to animals.

Forget the meat industry.

If your idea of a cooking program includes listening to an arrogant d-bag drop the f-bomb every other word then this video is for you! This poor suburban brat couldn't think of anything worse than a steak dinner to rebel against. This is the kind of kid you'll see walking in the mall after school with a red swollen lip piercing and dark eye shadow trying to look edgy. Unfortunately the only thing hard core about this video is that he actually eats those same dishes that he can't seem to make correctly in the video.
