Dana says
This is an beautifully crafted book of heirloom quality, both visually and in content. A treasured gift to myself that I shall share with others.
Mary says
I just made the coconut butternut squash, soup....Awesome. I bought he already cut up butternut squash and chopped kale from Trader Joes. Made it even easier. Even better when you let it sit, as suggested.
I have a few of Nava's cookbooks, they're always great, and if you have questions Nava takes the time out to answer.
I just ordered from Amazon. I can't wait to try some more of the recipes. ( they are in stock again)
Nava says
Thank you for the kind comments, Dana and Mary. Mary, I'm all for good-quality shortcuts. Glad those worked for you.
Jody says
I made the Butternut Squash with Whole Wheat, Wild Rice, and Onion Stuffing from the the new Vegan Holiday Kitchen cookbook.
I used small pumpkins in half rather than the butternut squash and added cooked mushrooms and dried cranberries to the stuffing. It was a huge hit with both the vegans and meat eaters at Thanksgiving. What a beautiful presentaiton! This is the new family holiday favorite and will be served again at Christmas. Much can be done in advance, so last minute preparation of this entree is minimal.
Nava says
Judy, your adaptation sounds wonderful. I love to hear how readers tweak recipes to their taste. Happy holidays!
Thomas Bergel says
