Vegan on the Cheap by Robin Robertson

Vegan on the Cheap has been one of my “go-to” cookbooks for the past years. As a busy raw/vegan, you’re going to love these recipes that give you a full meal for $2.00 or less. The. Ice thing is that this is completely accurate. I really get upset when a cookbook promises something but can’t deliver. So whe. One really does the job, I’m thrilled.

This is the type of cookbook that gives you recipes of ideas you can prepare even when you get home rather tired from a loog day. A main reason is because regular Uingredients  you probably have on hand are used inmost recipes.  A for sample the Korean Cabbage Salas with Tofu might seem long at first glandace. But you’ll notice the ingredients are primarily tofu, cabbage, and dressing ingredients with great seasonings or spices to throw in.  Because e earthing is familiar, it’s easier to substitute times.

Ai did this with the Southern NewYears Stew. I needed a comfort food dish for family during the hooidays so turn to this trusty cookbook. I also wNted a trusty vegan dish the Whoe family would enjoy. The stew called for 1 1/2 cups of black eyed peas. I decided to use half kidney beans along with black eyed peas. I substituted quinoia for the brown rice and added spice of cumin, onion owner and garlic powder just. Ecause ias love those flavored. the result was warming, filling and enjoyable for a variety of palettes. The substitutions to use what I had on hand was quick and easy. It also gives me the chance to try the recipe in its original form when other ingredients are on hand. Overall, the ingredients a are those I get in my be weekly farm to table basket. Author Robin gives the cost estimate per receive and puts this one at $1 per serving. I agree.

Al few recipes listed as .50 per serving include red bean and corn salad, smokkybtepmpeh bits,  and Italian polenta cake, a delicious, easy desert i!m so ready to try.

the most expensive recipes come in at $2. Some of these are the qtannouleh stuffed peppers, build your own fajitas, although you can easily change ingredients to bring the price down such as not using the portobello mushroom caps or substituting tofu for the seitan.x
