Product Description

Two great vegan cookbooks combined: an anthology of Vanessa's "The Dirty South", issues 1-3 and Ryan Splint's Australian masterpiece "Hot Damn and Hell Yeah". HD&HY is a finely illustrated and designed collection of recipes that aren't afraid of spices but are suited for those into easy to find ingredients that don't taste like sawdust. The Dirty South is a unique take on southern cooking, vegan style with some tasty delectibles, especially for those not afraid of garlic or baking. We are really excited to unleash this new vegan cooking onslaught onto the world. A 128 page book sizzling with great cooking ideas and recipes. Nutrition isn't always the first priority for either of these editors but the recipes are incredible in both cases.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really a vegan cookbook, February 27, 2007

By	Stephen J. Weierman (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is yet another omnivore cookbook filled with omnivore recipes with the words "egg replacer" put in for "eggs," "soy milk" put in for "milk," "margarine" put in for "butter," etc. In some recipes, the authors got lazy and simply said eggs, etc. I can pick up any omnivore cookbook and do this sort of substitution myself. Also, one recipe calls for honey, which is an animal product. Agave nectar or another sweetener would have worked just as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars lots of filler recipes, February 22, 2007

By	Didi (suburban DC) - See all my reviews

Like another commenter said, there a lot of typos and bad formatting in this book that make the recipes unclear. Also, it seems like quite a few recipes were added just to fill up pages, like the pizza dough recipe for making enough dough for 30 pizzas (the author worked at a pizzeria). While I loved that there were Ethiopian recipes included, they really had nothing to do with the theme of the book and were just stuck in there to take up space.

Good recipes, but very disorganized.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Zine-Style cookbooks in one!, May 14, 2007

I love this cookbook. It's my favorite vegan cookbook in my collection. The food is simple and uses a lot of readily-available ingridients. That and everything I've made from the cookbook is amazing. My favorite thing so far is biscuits and easy gravy from the Hot Damn and Hell Yeah! side of the book. But then, I'm a sucker for carbohydrate-loaded lumps of awesome smothered with salty, fattening goodness.

This is DEFINATELY worth the price. I'd reccomend it to all of my vegan comrades, new and old alike. Besides, what's not to love about southern-style vegan food?
