A vegan making a Deep Dish Pizza? Yeah! (I did and it was fabulous - very much like the mouthwatering pictures Uno's posts.)
How about an All-American Incrediburger? Made that, too. And this is not your mama's veggie burger - all three of my kids were oohing and aahing.
I remember Denny's Skillet meals that I had before being vegan. Guess what? It's in here. Not one version, but three. They have become staples at brunch in our house.
Don't even get me started on the desserts: pies, cakes, ice cream, crisps, cobblers...
Do yourself a favor and stop wondering what it would be like to eat these comforting, delicious meals and start cooking them.

My favorite recipes from this cookbook include:
-Cinnacrunch Muffins (!!!)
-Sweet and Crunch French Toast
-Summer Waffles with Lemon Sauce
-Seitan on a Shingle
-Eggplant Parm
-Veggie Fried Rice
I really love this cookbook and if you don't already have an assortment of vegan comfort food, get this. Heck even if you do get this as Noyes tends to put a refreshing, creative spin on old classics. There's still a lot of recipes I want to try from this cookbook and I plan on trying them all eventually!
The book has a nice mix of really decadent comfort food recipes as well as many lighter selections, i.e. soups, salads, etc., and some really interesting additions like "Deli Rubenettes," baked jalapeno poppers with lime cream and "quickels" (quick pickles.) There is also a basics section that has lots of good information on essential ingredients and cooking tips.
Without a doubt, American Vegan Kitchen is a great addition for both new and experienced vegan cooks, as well as for those who are interested in experimenting with vegan cooking. Highly recommended!
The Chickanini Sandwich and No-Tuna Melt Panini are wonderful. My very picky seven-year-old says the Incrediburgers are her favorite veggie burger in the world! Oh and the Deep-Dish Pizza is so great. The sauce for it makes a great bruschetta topping too! I made the Cheesecake for Christmas and it was one of the best cheesecakes I've had...vegan or not!
Sometimes the recipes are multi-stepped (make seitan before you can make the sandwich), but anyone who does much vegan cooking should be used to that by now. BTW the seitan and sausage recipes are easy and great to have on hand!
