At this point I will not be providing any feedback for this book. I started reading it, but could not continue at this time, it just was not for me.

Hilarious! This book is what every vegan should buy their vegan friends for birthdays, veganniversaries or any holiday! Full of the inside (and no-so-inside) jokes that bond us together and make us laugh at ourselves with a lot of #truth! A fun quick read that is perfect for gift giving and it belongs on the animal rights or cookbook shelf for every vegan!

How To Vegan is an amazing illustrated book all about Veganism. It starts with a brief history of both vegetarianism and veganism. It includes sections on how to talk vegan, how to eat vegan and how to shop vegan. The book is pretty satirical, pretty hilarious and completely true and relatable. I haven’t made the leap into full on vegan yet, but I’ve been a vegetarian off and on for most of my life. The backlash from meat-eaters who have nothing better to do with their time than judge a stranger's eating habits is ridiculous.
Also. Is Beegan actually a thing? Am I a Beegan?!?
The book had some recipes thrown in. All in all, if you’re a vegan or if you’ve ever considered the vegan lifestyle, this book would be a great tool for starting your journey!

Delicious Vegan Fun

Tired of stuffy or preachy vegan books? This is your antidote! I'm not quite sure what I was expecting when I saw this on one of my favorite book review sites, but this was certainly not it. But in a good way. I think this book would be ideal for people who are considering veganism, even if part-time. It's a gentle and fun introduction, written almost like a joke book with a light and breezy attitude (with an occasional swear word). You won't find many paragraphs here, but there are lots of diagrams, old-timey illustrations, and charts. As a longtime part-time vegan (cheese beckons on occasion), many parts made me laugh out loud. I loved the charts and diagrams about non-vegans being concerned about your protein eating! Along with the humor, the author includes some helpful tidbits of information and even recipes. I've read a gazillion cookbooks and even written four, and I've never seen recipes written as diagrams like this. I did think that some key details were missing from the recipes, like how long to cook something on the stovetop, so beware if you want to attempt any. I suggest you check out the Look Inside preview at Amazon or sample at other booksellers to see if this is a book for you. I found it fun, funny, and charming.

**I received an e-ARC from NetGalley for an honest review**

The description of the book says "Who is this book for? It’s for vegans, people who want to know about vegans, vegetarians who dabble in the dark arts of soya milk, meat-reducers and full carnivores looking to take the piss out of vegans."

In the end, the book feels unfocused. I had hoped for more recipes for someone who seems committed to a vegan lifestyle and hoping others will do the same. I understand the author was trying to be humorous a lot of the time, but overall it fell flat for me.

Disappointed with this one — more of a novelty book than anything with real information. Flipped through but felt it was a bit of a waste overall.

Hmm, so I have a bit of mixed feelings here. I think this is in part due to the fact that I just don't share the author's sense of humor. I wanted this to be funnier. The book is a quick read, directed at those already vegan or very open to it. At times, it felt mor like I was scrolling through someone's Instagram feed rather than reading a book. There are a lot of charts, graphs, venn diagrams and comics. The few included recipes are very basic, which is fine, just don't expect much. Comparisons are also vague - for example, protein content is given for multiple foods but with no reference to thre amount of each food. Is it half a cup of each food? A standard serving size for that food? By weight?? No clue. In the end, I just can't imagine buying this book for myself or anyone else. So yeah, I'd hoped for more here.

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sarcastic, realistic, infographic-heavy, and only slightly smug, this primer on becoming a vegan was a lot of fun. Clever use of old Linotype illustrations, cultural stereotypes of vegans, and Venn diagrams combine with very practical advice on lifestyle changes, recipes, and how to deal with dinner parties.

How to Vegan by Stephen Wildish is a fast, humorous, informational read about what being vegan entails. It’s less persuasive writing than the title might suggest–the author starts from the viewpoint that being vegan is a preferable lifestyle, and uses that as a jumping off point to explain what the lifestyle entails and how to achieve it. There’s a bit of information given to support that thesis, but mostly Wildish is reaching out to those already convinced or at least open to trying a vegan lifestyle. (Or, to quote the back cover directly, this book is for “vegans, people who want to know about vegans, vegetarians who dabble in the dark arts of soy milk, flexitarians, and full carnivores looking to poke fun at vegans” and does not include “arguments for or against veganism. It’s obvious that you should be vegan, and here is how to do it.”).

The text is eminently readable, with a bright, easy to read layout full of useful and often humorous mostly black and white diagrams, illustrations, and graphics. I especially loved the flow chart layout of the recipes Wildish shared, and have bookmarked several for myself to try, from aquafaba meringue to easy dhal to easy rice pudding to easy pancakes. The recipes mostly seem easy to adjust to gluten free specifications (which is why I bookmarked them.). The accents of the bright green from the cover art add a bright note to the text, and the above-mentioned flow chart format is useful for facts and advice as well as recipe layout.

The humorous tone is fun and light-hearted, but there’s useful and inspiring information included, from the history of veganism (Did you know Pythagorus was one early recorded vegan of note, and that the vegan diet was called the Pythagorean diet until the modern vegetarian movement’s beginnings in the mid 1880s? I didn’t.) to the calculated daily benefit of a vegan diet (1 animal’s life, 44 lbs of grain, 1100 gallons of water, and 22 lbs of CO2. Go vegans!) to a super helpful chart of non-vegan terms to avoid when buying products, from cochineal color (made from beetles. gross) to isinglass (fish bladders used in wine making. also gross) to lutein (yellow coloring derived from egg yolks. less gross). Wildish also points out that nobody wins when arguing with others about going vegan, and that the best strategy is to offer simple facts when asked and then to demonstrate by living the vegan lifestyle that it is easy, possible, and mostly normal, and that no one is perfect, so if you are trying to be vegan and make a mistake? Shake it off and keep on trying.

Overall just a fun, practical, accessible guide to what being a vegan entails. I read this in one delightful, delighted sitting, stifling laughs so as not to wake my spouse. I think this would be a fun coffee table book for vegans in your life, a useful light reference book for public or private libraries, or simply a fun and informative read for interested readers. I highly recommend How to Vegan and will probably be buying a copy for my own library.

Thank you to #NetGalley and Andrews McMeel for letting me read this free digital #advancedcopy of #HowToVegan . This is my honest opinion.

*- Where do I get my protein?
-Bitch, peas!*

I really enjoyed this! After having read some non-fiction ehavily fact based books on veganism, which don't get me wrong, i still love and will continue reading, I do enjoy that this books will soon be out there for everyone to enjoy! It's lighthearted without dumbing it done, it is funny without offending anyone and speaks truths through simplicity and funny diagrams, memes and puns!
Loved it! Would recommend for vegans and non-vegans alike! :D

Thank you Netgalley for the free e.ARC in exchange for my honest review.

How to Vegan is a fast-read guide for what veganism is.
While quite informative, the book is really easy to read, well structured with a lot of pictures (should I say memes even?), and some very easy and delicious-sounding recipes.
I'd like to note that I found some of the language sounding a bit too preachy, given that the book seems to be targeted at people that are yet to find out about veganism and how it works.

*Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.*

A fun, informative look at how to go vegan (and how to deal with other peoples sudden interest in your diet and protein). I would recommend this book as a light hearted read to any wannabe vegans

this is a quick and easy read. It is also a lot of fun to read. I am actually inspired by this and will now make sure our current "meatless Mondays" are now vegan. Such small changes with such big results.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but was very pleasantly surprised. It's a humorous guide to turning vegan, or eating vegan food more of the time. It's full of jokes and humour and covers responses to "but bacon", the number of protein experts you can expect to meet after turning vegan, how many desert islands there are out there that you might mysteriously find yourself washed up on and the all important vegan super power of skim reading ingredients. It also has loads of quick and easy recipes.

This book would have been super helpful if it had existed when I first thought about turning vegan, but I also enjoyed reading it after 10 years of veganism.

Great lighthearted look at being vegan. Full of funny illustrations and Venn diagrams. It has some practical information too.

Such a cute book! This is an excellent introduction to veganism, especially if you want it explained fast, simple, with fact and figures. It is an easy read, with a powerful message, but definitely not preachy. If you want to know what veganism is, your child/friend/someone you know has become a vegan, or you are a new vegan, I would encourage you to read this book!

Veganism, how it works, what it is all about, how to do it, and how it is actually nothing radical, not even expensive or hard to do, explained understandably, lightened up with infographics and humor. It has some simple recipes, explanations how to do and what to do, and how a vegan can answer the most common questions about being a vegan. It is also a good, quick reference book about veganism.

Thank you NetGalley and Stephen Wildish for the free ARC I got in exchange for an honest review.

This is a hilarious book about going and being vegan, it's history, and spread. It uses comics, infographics, puns, and quotes to give you an idea of misconceptions and the reality of a vegan lifestyle. This would be a super fun coffee table book for vegans, those who have given up being vegan, or anyone who wants a laugh!

How to Vegan is a humorous, yet informative guide to those looking to transition to veganism as well as vegans looking to navigate all the questions they field from "helpful" friends.
Stephen Wildish has included great charts, infographics, and illustrations to convey the information in an engaging and satirical way.
Many thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.

This is such a fun, informative, and funny book! This offers a great introduction to going vegan, while being lighthearted and cracking a few jokes at the expense of vegans, but in an endearing way. Great for recipe ideas, information, and a good chuckle.

Such a fun and informative book. A really quick read covering most topics on veganism–from social and environmental impact to a few recipes. I don’t think I’d ever laughed out loud reading about veganism before. The author’s sense of humor is really on point and completely balanced with the information.
