Rainbow Salad

White Bean Soup

Mumbai Frankie Wraps

Fruit Pavlova

Vegetable Salads

Rainbow Salad with Crispy Tempeh

Beets and carrots make a winning combination when roasted, since roasting enhances all their earthy sweetness. To turn roasted beets and carrots into a salad, we tossed them with an equally earthy vinaigrette while they were still hot, which allowed them to absorb maximum flavor

Soups and Stewy Dishes

Creamy White Bean Soup

This recipe delivers a creamy, smooth bean soup in less than an hour. Using canned beans (rather than dried) gave us a great head start, since they are already uniformly soft.

Sandwiches, Burgers, Pizza, and More

Mumbai Frankie Wraps

In Mumbai, India’s largest city, easy-to-eat street foods such as these wraps are hugely popular. Frankies take many forms but tend to share a few key characteristics. A warm, tender, whole-wheat flatbread (chapati or roti) is filled with a delectably spiced mixture of potatoes, along with proteins or vegetables, and topped with condiments such as chutneys, sauces, and pickles before being rolled up.

Desserts

Tropical Fruit Pavlova

Pavlova is a gorgeous dessert featuring a meringue that’s a little crispy on the outside and a little chewy on the inside. Piled with whipped cream and fresh fruit, it’s a showstopper. This recipe uses aquafaba, the liquid in canned chickpeas, to achieve the consistency of perfect meringue.

This book is put out by American test kitchens. They are a time honored resource for quality research material. It is an excellent book for recipes that are very healthy, good source of protein, tasty, and convient. The best part of the book is the complete nutritional information for every recipe in the book. When I eat from the 2021 edition, I know exactly how much sugar, sodium, and calories I am eating every day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very text heavy. Needs more pictures
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024

I really like ATK books. Among cookbooks they are in a league of their own. That said, this one is not as enjoyable as other ATK books I own. The recipes are good so far but there’s so much text and not many pictures. On any given spread, there are 3-4 recipes and only 1-2 small pictures on average. With many recipes I need to look up a picture online beforehand to see if it’s something I’d like or not. Some recipes continue to the next page as well, which makes it annoying to have to flip through while my hands are messy. The ingredients are bolded and easy to read, the recipes take a while to make, and the serving sizes are large. Some recipes are reused from other books.

I’m vegetarian but this is one of my least favorite ATK books because its not as appealing to use. My ranking so far is ATK bowls, followed by ATK Mediterranean 2, and this one last. I wish this one at least included a QR code linking to pictures for each recipe or split this book into 2 parts so they could double the pictures used.

For an experienced chef or a stay at home cook that has the time and energy to look up pictures for each dish, readjust the ingredient amounts, and spend an hour in the kitchen, this would be perfect. For someone relatively unknowledgeable in cooking, coming home tired and bleary eyed from a long day of work/school and just wants to quickly find something appealing to make, I like my other 2 ATK books better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Protect your Health Naturally not by Insurance
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2024

Health insurance will not keep you living longer, but eating better will. Eating plant food over animal food will protect you from many diseases surfacing. This cookbook is a wealth of knowledge in how to keep yourself healthy with delicious menus. I have tried a couple so far and they have been great. Unlike other cookbooks published, ATK (America's Test Kitchen) has ironed out all the mistakes in the recipes so that when you make it it comes out perfect. In other cookbooks that are not ATK's, you are taking a chance with your money in the purchase that what you try will not turn out badly and end up throwing away. The recipes in this cookbook explain as to why the recipe works. In one recipe they show you how to make a cheese sauce out of potatoes, no less, that taste like cheese and making hummus out of sweet potatoe. Yum is all I can say. They also tell you about plant based meat, one being Impossible Beef. I made their smashie burger with a brand called Impossible (Walmart where I live sells it) which is supposed to mimic beef and after cooking it up and putting ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, lettuce, etc., I couldn't tell the difference when eating this plant based burger over the real thing. It was that good! It's much better by far than a Boca Burger. This brand also makes sausage, and chicken from plant based foods. I can't wait to try them. Eating plant based food is not boring, bland, or unappetizing. Just the opposite. This is a great cookbook for anyone who cares about staying healthy, naturally, with what God has given us to eat from the earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars #1 Cookbook In My Kitchen!
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023
Verified Purchase
The media could not be loaded.
 In the seven weeks since I bought this book, I've already made ten recipes. This cookbook is phenomenal!

After twenty years of vegetarianism, I recently made the shift to an entirely plant-based diet, and decided a few new cookbooks were in order to help spark new creativity in the kitchen. Of the three books I bought, this one has become my go-to favorite. There isn't a single page in this book without something intriguing and appetizing on it.

I cannot overstate this: "The Complete Plant Based Cookbook" is written with the home cook at heart. It seems obvious that every cookbook would be written with the intent that the average person could duplicate its recipes in their own kitchen, but that's rarely the case. This book is exceptional, though. The instructions are written clearly and are easy to follow. The measurements, temperatures, and cook time are true, and the ingredients are almost all available at my local markets.

Often, vegan cookbooks fall into one of two categories: exotic/elaborate preparations of hard-to-find ingredients, or meatless mimicry of junk food. I was looking for a book that offered something else. This cookbook provides countless meal ideas that can make it possible to enjoy delicious balanced meals throughout the week. Meat and dairy substitutes can be a marvel, but I prefer that this book avoids much of that in favor of celebrating and elevating whole vegetables. Even the nacho "cheese" sauce (pictured) is made with simple potatoes and a carrot! I've made everything from soup to roasted veggies to pie using this cookbook, and all have come out exactly as described, even at times when the instructions felt impossible (there's no way this can set without eggs....there's no way this consistency will be...how can this??...) But time and again, I trust the instructions, and the food comes out delicious and beautiful.

America's Test Kitchen really lives up to its name here, as it's obvious that all of these recipes have been tried and tried again before publication.

Lastly, the back of this cookbook has something that I've never seen in any other: a full index of the basic nutrition facts of each of the recipes! I'm sure I won't be checking back there too often (especially for that pecan pie!) but what a cool resource to offer. There's also a full index listing all of the gluten free recipes in the cookbook, which I'm sure will be hugely helpful for many people.
All of the books I ordered had similarly great reviews, but this one was the only one that's truly exceptional. Bon appetite!
