I absolutely love this book. It's full of inventive, yet easily accessible vegan recipes.

The introduction and helpful tips at the beginning of the book are great for new vegans or inexperienced cooks. I couldn't agree more with the comments the author made about why she went vegan, and I felt like I could relate to her journey so much as it seems so similar to my own.

The recipes in the book are not anything I haven't seen before, but there are some great ideas and twists on tried and tested recipes. There are also some fantastic staples in here, including seitan and coconut bacon, that I've seen around but never found a perfect recipe for until now!

All in all I think this is an essential book for all vegan home cooks, and I would urge non-vegans to give it a try too! I'm sure they would be amazed at how much they would enjoy eating the meals in this book.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Fair Winds Press for my unbiased opinion of the book. What a great cookbook!!! I tried Kale Raspberry Grain Salad, Shiitake Spring Rolls, and Summer Stew. I cannot wait to work my way through the rest of this book.

Vegan Yack Attack On The Go is a wonderful book for Vegans and those looking for healthier recipes. Unique recipes are included for breakfast, lunch, picnics, gatherings, anytime, and nothing is very complicated. I am looking forward to trying most of the recipes.

Vegan Yack Attack On The Go by Jackie Sobon

With seven years of experience cooking, eating and sharing recipes on her blog, Vegan Yack Attack, this author has presented recipes that are creative and tasty sounding. There is information related to pantry staples, cooking utensils and storage containers as well as tips and tricks to make cooking easier. Some of the recipes sounded intriguing but then I would see ingredients that I don’t stock in my pantry and wonder if I will be able to find them in markets here in Lebanon. I like the idea for some of the wraps and salads as well as a few of the breakfast ideas and really was intrigued by the campout recipes. A number of recipes have variations and that is always a nice. The photographs are gorgeous and the recipes appear to be easy to follow so if I can find the ingredients for some of the recipes I will give them a try. Nutritional information is not included and I might have enjoyed having some options for substitutions if/when possible. That said, I did sign up for information from the blog, Instagram and Facebook and look forward to doing so recipe sleuthing online in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.

4 Stars

I have long been an advocate of eating simply with fresh, colorful, natural and nutritious ingredients. Most of my meals are already vegetarian, and I feel the positive difference in my body. I am now interested in going a step further into vegan and hopefully my husband will embrace it as well. This recipe collection is a good place to start and begins my first attempt to do just that. I don’t know how many recipes there are in total but there are a lot of them. I am inspired.

I get excited about cookbooks and have a huge collection so couldn’t wait to dig in. At first look, I see the Pantry Necessities page showing the easily obtainable ingredients - good, I can do this. Right off the bat I learned one simple and common-sense tip - treat your refrigerator like a salad bar. Well that should be easy (I think?).

There is a recipe guide explaining notes included when glancing at a recipe; whether gluten-free, nut-free, one-pan, portable, under 10 ingredients, etc. A very helpful concept in today’s world of a multitude of food allergies and diet preferences.

Now onto the recipes. I paged through the entire book and found few recipes I did not want to try. Most seem simple, straightforward and every recipe includes a colorful photo.

Fast forward to today. So far, I have tried 5 of the recipes - Blueberry zucchini breakfast cookies (great on-the run breakfast), freezer black bean burritos (gluten-free option), BBQ tempeh wrap (first time tasting tempeh), shiitake spring rolls (minus the cilantro) and veggie sushi bento box which was a nice change-up to the california/salmon rolls I normally make. I wouldn’t hesitate to make any of these recipes again and even my meat-loving husband enjoyed them. Next on my ‘to make’ list are to try a few dinner options like the cleverly titled “butternut mac and trees” (gluten free/soy free) and one that seriously peaks my interest Spicy Jackfruit Chili. Never have I had a jackfruit and don’t even know what one looks like, but hopefully it will be easily obtainable at my local grocers.

This book is so much fun. I love that Jackie Sobon's voice is light-hearted and informative without being at all "preachy", which I have found previously when reading vegan/vegetarian food blogs and cookbooks. I should probably also say here that I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I do enjoy healthy food and I try to eat vegetarian food as much as possible. This book makes that choice much simpler.

The pictures in this book are sunny and gorgeous and make you feel healthy just looking at them. The photos are detailed so you know what you're aiming for. The photos are so gorgeous you could use this as a coffee table book if it's not being used in the kitchen!

The recipes I have tried were both tasty and healthy and many inspired a new way of looking at an old recipe. For example, I love avo smash on toast and Sobon goes further here with her "loaded avocado lentil toast", which made the option much more exciting and filling. I also really enjoyed all of the jar recipes and found them so useful - again, I really like the idea of jars for salads but my ideas were getting a bit tired and this has helped reinvigorate lunches.

I have a friend who suffers from a number of food allergies and I will be buying her a copy of this book. I also really loved here, as someone who is gluten intolerant, that all recipes are clearly marked so you can see whether it is GF or at least readily adaptable.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group - Fair Winds Press and Jackie Sobon for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! There are so many unique recipes in here! I look through a lot of cookbooks and most are the same dishes over and over again. Not so with "Vegan Yack Attack on the Go"! There are so many things in here I want to make right away.

I'm very impressed with the recipes, the photos (I counted only 4 recipes without a photo), and the layout. She clearly labels each recipe with important distinctions like "nut-free"and "30 minutes or less". There's an occasional far-out ingredient that will be difficult for me to buy where I live, but honestly, there's much less of that than in the typical vegan cookbook. A bunch of these appear to be quite labor-intensive (they do that thing where it's a recipe with one or two other recipes as ingredients), but she does a good job of explaining how to prepare things ahead of time to use as staples or to take with you for food on the go.

This Vegan cookbook is fantastic! The recipes sound delicious and I am so excited to try them out!

While a few seem to use store bought vegan "fake" products, like cheese, most do not and have actual recipes for foods like bacon and cheese that use vegan foods to substitute in. Since I'm a mom of young children and we don't have extra to spend on expensive vegan free specialty foods, I love that they have easy do it yourself recipes!

The only thing I would change is to have more pictures and having nutritional facts. Otherwise it is spot on and an essential for every Vegan or anyone who is trying to improve their health by eating better!

Lots of interesting recipes. Part of the reason I stopped being vegetarian was how hard it was to find things on the go. Having a variety of things ready for lunch or snacks certainly makes it easier to stick to. I will not become vegan but I will eat meatless more often after this book!

It is really good. Recipes are simple and easy to make. Instruction are easy to follow. definitely add to my list.

I am no where near a Vegan, as a matter of fact I am pretty far from being one. I do love my fruits and vegetables though. I honestly believe that you can find some of the best tasting fruit and vegetable recipes in vegan cookbooks.

As I was going through this book I found so many recipes I cannot wait to set on the table for my family. The book is broken down into sections. Breakfast, prep aheads, bulk and more. The best thing about these recipes are they are all quick recipes.

Some of my favorite recipes are: Fresh Fruit Yogurt Sundae, Grill and Chill salad, grilled eggplants pesto pita pockets, and hearty skillet cornbread to name a few.

Everyone should check out this delicious book.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

My review has been posted to Goodreads.

Review has also been tweeted as usual.

Thank you! :c)

The book where the recipes are divided by the grade of difficulty and every one of them has its own pictures are by far my favorite. So this one was a really great book in my opinion even if I didn't know some of the ingredients that were used.

I libri di ricette che le dividono sulla base della difficoltà e che prevedono per ogni piatto la foto dello stesso sono da sempre quelli che preferisco quindi questo si posiziona molto in alto nella mia top ten anche se è capitato che in alcun casi non conoscessi tutti gli ingredienti.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This book has so many recipes I want to try. Coconut BLT + P which is a blt with peaches, Loaded Avocado Lentil Toast, Kale Raspberry Grain Salad, Pineapple Teriyaki Burgers just to name a few. The pictures are beautiful, the recipes are clear and easy to follow. I would recommend this to antone interested in vegan cooking. I definitely will be using it regularly.

I received an ebook copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.
Although I'm not vegan, I'm always trying to add more vegetables to my diet, so I was excited to read this cookbook!
The pictures are great and make everything look appetizing. It's good to have nice full colour photos, especially when working with unfamiliar ingredients.
Definitely worth looking at if you'd like to try some vegan recipes

A very helpful book if you want to eat healthy. It's full of wonderful and well explained recipes.
Highly recommended!
