Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Vegan Brunch, good for any time really.

Recently I picked up a copy of Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Vegan Brunch: Homestyle Recipes Worth Waking Up For on a semi-impulse. This the "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World" woman, so it can't be bad. I was a little concerned that it would just be strictly "brunch" foods but actually there are tons of any-time veggie recipes for well beyond the afternoon. There are also some nice recipes for vegan sausage so you can finally make your own. I suppose her recipes are a bit heavy on the items such as "nutritional yeast" which are probably way more common in a true vegan kitchen than my vegetarian kitchen for people who (unintentionally) eat mostly vegan foods but also have a bad cheese habit.



So far, I've made two things and they've both been excellent. I made her cornbread biscuits as well as an awesome potato salad that subs out mayonnaise (my most hated food) for avocado (possibly my favorite food in the world). The potatoes were really quite uniquely delicious. Think potato salad crossed with guacamole.

I'll post both the recipes. They are both very simple and take almost no time to prep. Get to it!
