One-Dish Vegan: More than 150 Soul-Satisfying Recipes for Easy and Delicious One-Bowl and One-Plate Dinners Description
From Booklist
Vegans have just as much need for soups and casseroles as any other eaters, dishes a cook can prepare ahead and that can serve for lunches at desks, for fast leftover meals, and for freezing against another day’s dinner. Robertson exhibits imagination and experience in her recipes’ design and execution. As do so many expert cooks, Robertson commences with stock—in this case, simple vegetable stock, which can add lots of flavor to many different dishes, not just to soups. Ethnic cuisines contribute intriguing variations on lasagna and even popular pad Thai. She devotes an entire chapter to chili. Certain ingredients appear frequently, especially chickpeas. But Robertson covers plenty of other beans and similar protein sources to help ensure balanced nutrition. Specialty items, such as nutritional yeast, appear sparingly. Those with particular food sensitivities will appreciate her noting which recipes avoid allergens like gluten and soy. --Mark Knoblauch

I converted to a vegan diet several years ago. In the years since, I have acquired several vegan cookbooks, including this author's previous cook books: Fresh from the Vegan Slow Cooker: 200 Ultra-Convenient, Super-Tasty, Completely Animal-Free Recipes and Quick-Fix Vegan: Healthy, Homestyle Meals in 30 Minutes or Less. I have enjoyed both.
This cookbook has many of the same positive aspects as the previous ones: quick and easy preparation, real and common ingredients, overall healthy dishes, and easy adaptations for gluten free or soy free options.
My partner is gluten free, so we do modify quite a bit of the recipes from our favorite vegan authors. We've found it easier to modify than to stick to a dedicated gluten free and vegan cookbook (which many have unhealthy dishes or rare ingredients). Robertson actually has a wide variety of gluten free recipes, and most of the remainder do have easy options for substituting for a gluten free diet. The same goes for soy free. Most ingredients are easy to find, and are often already found in a vegan pantry. Foods such as silken tofu and almond milk can easily be found at Whole Foods and other markets in the same style.
One reason I love this book is the large section with nothing but chili! And they are each unique. I have been cooking through the chili section and I have to say I am very impressed. There is a lot more variety than I thought possible!
