veganomicon 10th anniversary edition the ultimate vegan cookbook

There was a lot of garlic and lemon going on here and to be honest it was a little much for me first thing in the morning maybe that’s why it’s a brunch recipe. There’s a little bit of flipping back and forth while making this recipe as it involves 2 other recipes in the book - the Cheezy Sauce, which is a garlicky, lemony nutritional yeast cheese sauce, and Basic Broiled Tofu, which is a garlicky, lemony…broiled tofu. Florentine in this case apparently just means “with spinach.” Maybe you know all of this already, but I did not! I was a big fan of eggs Benedict back in the day, so a vegan variation seemed fun. Tofu Florentine is a vegan take on eggs Florentine, which from what I’ve read is basically eggs Benedict but with spinach instead of ham.

And they’re not kidding about this being the “Ultimate Vegan Cookbook.” Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero have packed this book with a ton of recipes, tips, and vegan cooking basics that are a joy to read through even if you aren’t planning on cooking any of them. I really liked that Veganomicon had so many savory options in the brunch section - they take up more than half of the section, and this Tofu Florentine did not seem too daunting to whip up at 7:30 in the morning. recipes in some of these vegan cookbooks, but the variety of savory recipes is often lacking. Let me tell you - there are a LOT of pancake, waffle, french toast, baked oatmeal, overnight oats, etc. My everyday breakfast is an everything bagel with hummus with nutritional yeast sprinkled on top, and when I run out of bagels I get sad, because the next easiest thing is oatmeal, and most of the time I don’t want that for breakfast (though I would gladly eat it for lunch).Īnyway, I was out of bagels, so I figured I would try cooking a savory breakfast recipe from one of my many books. Something you should know about me is that I highly prefer savory breakfast options. Today I woke up and realized I ran out of bagels.
