Editorial Reviews

Review

“Mexican food has always been my go-to comfort food. And with ¡Salud! Vegan Mexican Cookbook, Eddie shows us that we can enjoy the rich flavors of Mexico in a healthful way that not only nourishes the soul but our entire body.”
―María Celeste Arrarás, Puerto Rican broadcast journalist, best-selling author, and winner of the PETA Humanitarian Award

“If you think good Mexican food has to have meat in it, you don’t know beans! ¡Salud! Vegan Mexican Cookbook takes Mexican food back to its plant-based origins and highlights the incredible versatility of ancient beans, grains and native fruits and vegetables. Put down that beef burrito and pull out your chopping block for a wholesome spin on all your favorite Mexican dishes!”
―Patricia De Leon, Panamanian actress, PETA member and spokesperson

“More and more people are moving away from eating meat, whether they’re going vegan, vegetarian or simply taking a weekly holiday from meat by participating in Meatless Mondays. Well, get ready to send out some dinner invitations to your veggie-loving friends because you are about to seriously impress them with these innovative plant-based takes on Mexican classics!”
―Christine Elise, American television and film actress, author of the food blog Delightful-Delicious-Delovely

“If you talk about Mexican food most people would think “oh yes! Let's eat meat!” This book does a superb job proving them wrong. A book that mixes vegan and Mexican in the same dish is just a must have for any food and animal lover.”
―Pablo Azar, Mexican-American television actor, PETA member and spokesperson

“Latin food is my favorite cuisine. So my palate is pretty picky when it comes to some of my favorite dishes, and I'm happy to report this cookbook absolutely nails them. You'll have the best time creating these delicious and easy-to-follow recipes, while also doing right by animals, the planet, and yourself! If you know anyone who balks at the thought of vegan food then you can feel free to smirk when you tell them everything they just devoured at your Latin-food dinner party was 100-percent animal-friendly.”
―Stephanie Beatriz, actress, Brooklyn 99

Tortillas, tamales, tacos...who ever said healthy eating had to be boring? It's refreshing to see a chef re-imaging our favorite comfort foods to be enjoyed any day of the week as part of a wholesome diet. After all, who doesn't want to be able to enjoy Taco Tuesday without the guilt?!
―Adriana Martin, Celebrity Health & Lifestyle Expert, Author, Radio/TV Personality

“I love the concept of this book! As an expert in holistic nutrition I’m always excited to find ways to transform food that I love into a healthier version and Mexican food is no exception, especially because it is my favorite! It’s great to nourish our body with plant-based nutrition without giving up the flavor that makes our food unique.¡Salud! ​Vegan Mexican Cookbook is a must-have!”
―Ingrid Macher, Transformation Coach

"¡Salud! has become a weekly staple at my house. Who can say "no" to delicious, plant-based Mexican food?"
―David Coman-Hidy, Executive Director of The Humane League

¡Que rico! Eddie Garza offers a creative collection of nutritious options to redefine la cocina vegana: a vegan kitchen filled with wholesome ingredients and Mexican-inspired meals. With beautiful photography, clearly labeled recipes, and inspiring ways to incorporate healthful cuisine, ¡Salud! Vegan Mexican Cookbook is a delicioso must-have staple in your plant-based recipe anthology.

So good! The Garbanzorizo. I really can't remember the taste of chorizo, but the taste of this is satisfying on it's on merrit with a after thought of heat. Been looking for something to fill a tortilla with besides refried beans. Can't wait till my wheat gluten arrives so I can make my first seitan. Of course there aren't pictures but the recipes are the real deal and the great price reflects their absence, which is no problem for me living in So. Cal. Though I'm a (lacto/ovo) vegetarian not a vegan, I'll enjoy trying cashew cream instead of sour cream... (at least once!) Very nice to have Mexican recipes that focus on veggies.Thanks Eddie for a great book.

This cookbook looks great! I haven't had a chance to cook from it yet, but it looks really good. I'm not Mexican and therefore can't say how authentic it is but I like the variety of recipes and the creativity in substituting for animal products (everything from standbys like tofu, seitan and TVP to produce ingredients like oyster mushrooms, jackfruit, eggplant, and more, are used for this).

Let me start off by saying 1) I'm vegetarian so I do eat cheese and eggs every now and then and 2) Mexican food is a staple in my household. I'm serious that beans are always in my kitchen (dried, canned, frozen, boiled). With that being said, cooking these recipes are super easy and accommodating because I always have my kitchen stocked with ingredients to make Mexican dishes.

I think when I first received this book a couple years ago, yes, I was upset that there weren't many pictures. Like many others have said, I enjoy comparing how my food looks with the picture and photos often bring you to follow the recipe. BUT I've used so many recipes in this book and each one have been delicious!!! You cannot go wrong with the baja tacos (cauliflower tacos), the nopales guisados (we love hard on cactus), or the spiced potato enchiladas (with traditional enchilada toppings, they are yummy!). The cilantro lime rice is a bowl changer (top with black beans, chipotle cauliflower, and sauteed veggies).

I have a couple Mexican cookbooks and I always flip through this one to grab ideas of what to use with the ingredients I always have.

I have an extensive collection of vegan cookbooks, and this is by far one of my absolute favorites, if not THE favorite. I have made so many of the recipes and every one has been a hit, while many have become basic staples that I keep on hand at all times such as the cashew crema, chunky red salsa, and the veggie stock. Simple, delicious, and nostalgic. I love that each recipe starts with a description that usually contains the author's personal connection to the dish. My mouth is watering as I write this and I can't wait to make something tomorrow!!

If you love Mexican food and follow a vegan/plant-based diet, this book is an absolute must-have!

Im really big on pictures and the book has a few pictures not much other then that it seems like a good book to read. I would have given it a 4 if it had more pictures, maybe not at all recipes (which that would have been great) but given more color to the book would be nice.

I've been a vegan for the past ten years, but I'm certainly no cook. In 2017, I decided to start making more of an effort to learn how to be more able in the kitchen. I bought Eddie's book and when it came in, I was delighted to see that most of the recipes have a prep. time of 10 to 15 minutes. I've tried three recipes so far, and they've all been fantastic. Again, it's important to stress that I really don't know much about cooking. However, this book makes it very easy and I've loved the results so far. A few recipes require special ingredients, and I don't imagine I'll make any recipes that require much preparation. Overall though, I'm very satisfied. I think this is an excellent introduction to veganism.

I love mexican food but I live in the UK so don't really know the names of it all - I would have preferred a lot more photos of the dishes because I don't instantly know what 'tamales' are or anything other than tortillas, enchilladas, tacos, and beans! However, the recipes that I have made so far are delicious. I can't wait to make all these dishes.
