This is such a brilliant recipe book for anyone who is going vegan or, like me, loves cheese just a bit too much.
I can’t wait to dig into many of these recipes, but what I loved most was the social history surrounding Mac and cheese. It was a perfect introduction.
Finally! The book that all vegans need. Mac and cheese is the perfect comfort food and having lots of options is fantastic. Cant wait to try some of them - especially as the colder months come in and we need warming meals!
This was a fun cookbook aimed towards vegans. I liked the various sections, such as basic, global and veggies and the variety of recipes.
(Vegan) Mac and (un)Cheese- what is there not to love about that? Warm, creamy with pasta, just yum. Who ever thought there were so many versions of this beloved dish! Overall there are 56 recipes to choose from, enough for one a week.
This book includes five chapters of recipes: Basic vegan mac & cheese, Global cheesy macs, Mac & veggies, Meaty macs and Fun with mac & cheese.
The Introduction chapter includes a history of the dish dating back to 1200s, vegan cheese origins, international restaurants with mac and cheese on the menu, and the different types of pasta that could also be used as macaroni, with a colour photograph. Ideas for toppings are also provided, much more than just the tomatoes I used to be served as a child. The Meaty macs do not contain any meat and the fun with mac & cheese gives ideas on what to do with leftovers.
There is some colour photography of the cooked dishes, but not nearly enough in my opinion, it certainly would be good to see the global dishes made up plus at least one photo was repeated from a slightly different angle. The recipes include both imperial and metric measurements.
I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review.
Wirklich outside the box: wer hätte gedacht, daß es so viele leckere Mac and Cheese Rezepte gibt?
Nach einem kleinen historischen Überblick, lässt sich sicher für jeden das passende Rezept finden - oder man kocht ein Jahr lang jede Woche ein neues Gericht!
Who knew how many different variations around Mac and Cheese there were let alone making them all plant based as well. This is comfort food at its best the only thing that let it down for me is I would have liked more pictures of what things looked like but that does not distract from the great recipe ideas in this book.
