You will not be disappointed by the quality of this book. It is easy, delicious vegan cooking." PETA Prime ("7 Must-Have Vegan Cookbooks"), 8/31/15
"This updated edition of Isa's classic cookbook includes a new foreword, new tips and tricks, and, of course, delicious new recipes--for BLT Mac & Cheese, Creamy Red Chard Linguine, Savory Crêpes, Cranberry White Chocolate Biscotti, and more." Nashua Telegraph, 9/24/15
"Moskowitz is a wonderfully loquacious blogger and self-taught cook whose kitchen know-how seems to come from manic experimentations, often with fellow vegan mavens. She aptly describes Vegan with a Vengeance as 'cheap recipes that rock.'...The fast-food style might be just the thing for vegans prone to long stretches between meals."


Portland Book Review, 9/30/15
"A beautifully produced vegan cookbook. It's a pleasure to leaf through its colorful pages and the striking professional food photographs...Vegan with a Vengeance is filled with a large number of good recipes from Brunch, through Soups and Entrées to Desserts...If you are new to vegan cooking this cookbook is a good starter in your kitchen. The recipes are well written with nice head notes, instructions are not hard to follow and ingredients are readily available." Omaha Magazine, September/October 2015
"Features...cheap, easy, and delicious vegan food." The Missoulian, 10/18/15
"This cookbook is not just for vegans. If you have dairy or egg intolerance, or if you have friends that are vegetarian or vegan, Vegan with a Vengeance will be worth a look through for recipes to accommodate them...[Moskowitz's] section on tools and pantry are great resources for all." Well + Good, 10/25/15
"Prov[es] that plant-based dishes can be bad-ass, too. The second edition maintains Moskowitz's fresh (and cheap) approach and includes 25 new recipes, simplified directions and ingredient lists, and a guide to 'The Post Punk Pantry'--i.e. everything you'll need to make vegan cooking your cool new BFF."

"The actual recipes in Vegan with a Vengeance are generally good ones, and usually simpler than comparable ones in the first edition of the book...Committed vegans will actually find the ideas here simpler than those in many other vegan cookbooks. Muffins, scones, finger foods, pastas, main courses, cookies, cakes and pies--all these and more are here, mostly in reasonably easy to follow recipes...The variety here is extensive and impressive, and even committed vegan cooks are likely to find a few recipes here that they have not tried before."
