If we awarded review stars for enthusiasm, Lauren Toyota would get a solid 10. Any vegan cookbook writer who opens with vegan bacon isn't bashful about her work. Lauren's vegan cooking site is chockablock with interesting and creative ways to enjoy the foods we love without relying on any animal products at all, even honey. Her writing style is brash and exuberant. The how-to videos on the site and YouTube are good, and the well-tested recipes have been verified by her readers and are solid. Many of the recipes here are also on the blog, but Ms Toyota has included some new ones as an incitement to buy rather than browse. Beware, though, that these are vegan recipes, not gluten-free, or salt-free, or macrobiotic or wrapped up in any other dietary regimen. Vegan, ma'am, just vegan.

Hot for Food Vegan Comfort Classics is full of beautiful photos of foods that will make you drool, foods full of carbs and calories, foods with fried and baked breaded crusts, foods with gravies and sauces that are lush and indulgent. This is, in some ways, a book that challenges the idea of vegan food as health food. But then, there are more reasons for embracing veganism than health.
There are two ways to approach vegan cooking. One is to go for it without regret, to enjoy the bounty of nuts, fruits, vegetables, and grains you can enjoy. The other is to focus on what you are missing and seek ways to replace the flavors and textures of meat and dairy with vegan alternatives. Hot for Food Vegan Comfort Classics takes the latter approach which I think of as regretful veganism. The veganism of loss.
Which is why this book is a mixed bag. There are lots of excellent recipes, though many are too carb and fat-loaded for this diabetic. I love the idea of a cauliflower burger as shown on the cover. Cauliflower is mild enough to take on the flavor of whatever you want it to, so added buffalo chicken spices will make it tasty. The problem for me is that this is all about recreating non-vegan comfort foods with meat and dairy substitutes. I was hoping that this might also be about creating new comfort foods made with vegetables. Rather than bangers and mash, maybe a pea soup flavored with the smokiness of coffee? Is it really comforting to make a recipe based on what you miss rather than something new? To me, this cookbook focuses on what veganism deprives you of rather than on exploring how vegan recipes can be exciting and delicious in their own right and creating new classics.
