Thank you! :c)

I love this book! I've been vegan for a lot of years, but as someone who is totally not a morning person, I'm always looking for exciting recipes that will get me out of bed, and Nadine and Jörg have done it! This cookbook is so full of beautiful photos and information that you'll want to sit down with it and read it cover to cover. It has recipes for every type of breakfast eater, from the basic (think smoothies, muffins, and oatmeal) to the more adventurous (like the onion tart, hash brown BLT, and a vegan full English!). Even the standards are unique, like the savory miso oatmeal, lentil muffins, and earl grey poached pears with cardamom yogurt cheese and toasted quinoa. It also includes coffee, lattes, milks, and has tons of tips and information. I'm looking forward to making all of the recipes!

I just received this cookbook but I can already tell it will become a favorite. As an aspiring vegan breakfast has been challenging without my beloved eggs. This provides many dishes that mimic eggs and the authors include a tip about a salt called Kala namak that adds an “eggy”flavor to your dishes. There are some old standbys included such as smoothies and oats but many unusual things as well such as lentil muffins and raw carrot cake. I can’t wait to try the “Poppy Seed Pancakes” and the “Onion Tart”. There are a couple that are quite out of the ordinary such as the “Wake Up Popsicles” one of which includes oats! I was surprised to learn that smoked tofu is a thing you can buy. The internet tells me I can also make it, but I didn’t see any directions how to do it in this book even though a couple of recipes call for it. There is a picture of every dish which is key to my enjoying any cookbook and the photos are delicious. This cookbook is destined to be in heavy rotation at my house.

The Ultimate Vegan Breakfast Book: 80 Mouthwatering Plant-Based Recipes You'll Want to Wake Up For is a new specialty cookbook aimed at people who want plant based food which is cruelty free. It was originally published in German as Vegan Frühstücken Kann Jeder by NeunZehn Verlag in 2016. Authors/bloggers/foodies Nadine Horn and Jörn Mayer teamed up with The Experiment publishing to produce this, their second book, due out 30 October, 2018. Planned availability (which can change) is in ebook and paperbound formats.

The book is attractively photographed and progresses logically (so it's easy to find things). There's an introduction with some definitions and tips (for example; use vegan ingredients, persons with special needs (celiac disease sufferers) should buy the 'correct' gluten free version of some ingredients, margarine should be vegan margarine, etc etc). The book moves on to chapters showing the different classes of foodstuffs: Nuts, berries & seeds, Grains & cereals. In the intro chapters, the authors have also stashed a lot of good and sound physiological advice about getting enough sleep, destressing (give the news a miss; read a book instead), drink enough water.

For a book about vegan food and cooking, the authors use roughly 12% of the page content discussing coffee and tea. I do agree that tea and coffee are an important component of breakfast for many people, it just seemed odd to me to use so much of the book discussing the benefits/disadvantages of different types of coffee machines.

The book does include a wealth of recipes, many of which will find a welcome place in any vegan diet at other times of the day. Most of the recipes are not really to be followed slavishly, but serve more as inspiration and guidance. The recipe section of the book is set up in chapters by category: Smoothies, Breakfast to Go (bagels, wraps, burritos etc), One Bowl Wonders (porridges, fruit bowls, and more), Stovetop dishes (omelettes, pancakes), Sweeter Side (cupcakes, muffins), Weekend Brunch (more time consuming recipes to take your time preparing - quiche, pesto bread, etc). Then another chapter on coffee and tea based drinks (!). The recipe section wraps up with a nice chapter on breads, spreads, plant based sausages, granola and DIY nut milks.

There is a handy index and a short author bio.

It's an attractive book with a commendable message and the authors' writing style is engaging and positive. The translation from the original language (German) is seamless and unobtrusive.

Four stars (would likely tip over toward 5 for readers who are especially crazy about coffee/tea).
