I Heart Isa Mokowitz: Appetite for Reduction: 125 Fast and Filling Low-Fat Vegan Recipes

 

From Amazon: This is not your mother’s low-fat cookbook. There’s no foolish tricks, no bizarre concoctions, no chemicals, no frozen meals…no fake anything! Appetite for Reduction means cooking with real food, for real life. (Skimpy portions need not apply.)

In Appetite for Reduction, bestselling author and vegan chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz has created 125 delectable, nutritionally-balanced recipes for the foods you crave—lasagna, tacos, barbecue, curries, stews, and much more—and it’s all:

• Only 200 to 400 calories per serving
• Plant-based and packed with nutrients
• Low in saturated fat and sugar; high in fiber
• Drop-dead delicious

You’ll also find lots of gluten-free and soy-free options, and best of all, dinner can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. So ditch those diet shakes. Skip that lemonade cleanse. And fight for your right to eat something satisfying! Now you can look better, feel better, and have more energy—for health at any size.

My Review: This book has proven to be just as excellent as the rest. The OMG Baked Onion Rings are to LIVE for and with an assortment of tips on eating healthier, this book is for everyone. 

I Heart Isa Moskowitz: Vegan with a Vengeance : Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock

From Amazon: In Vegan with a Vengeance, Isa Chandra Moskowitz, host of the community access vegan cooking show The Post Punk Kitchen, brings the do-it-yourself, community-driven ethos of punk rock into the kitchen. Her cooking philosophy embraces being kind to animals (all recipes are completely animal-product free) and your wallet—while being creative and having fun in the process. She emphasizes staying clear of corporate brand-name foods, and says that cooking should be an innovative, experimental, and completely real experience. This one-of-a-kind cookbook offers 125 recipes for all meals of the day, from stuffed mushrooms to tofu pizza, gingerbread cupcakes to pasta with "alfreda sauce," and is full of tips and tricks on how to keep your diet vegan, inexpensive, and liberated.

My Review: One of my favorite cookbooks of all time by my favorite vegan chef, I've used the heck out of this book. Her corn chowder is a staple, and I love the mocha chip muffins. This book not only provides deliciousness, but provides great tips along the way. This one is a MUST have!
