The irrepressible voice of seasoned author Isa Chandra Moskowitz comes through loud and clear in this bright, breezy and very accessible recipe collection. Moskowitz wisely keeps ingredients lists short in her recipes, which rely largely on pantry-friendly staples, but she usefully gives tips on the sorts of ingredients that will elevate a dish from mediocre to must-make-again: nutritional yeast, kala namak (black salt), nori and the like. These are vegan recipes that go way beyond lentil stew, just as the author promises.

From Isa Chandra Moskowitz—the bestselling author of Veganomicon—comes a book dedicated to her true love: the home cook.
Isa Moskowitz learned to cook from cookbooks, recipe by recipe. And after a few decades of writing her own cookbooks, she knows what the people want: easy-to-follow instructions and accessible ingredients.

I Can Cook Vegan is for cooks of all stripes:

The Just-Born, Brand New Cook
The Tried-and-True Seasoned Cook Who Is Tofu-Curious
The Busy Weeknight Pantry Cook (this is everyone)
The Farmers’ Market Junkie Who Looks at All the Pretty Colors
The Reluctant Parent to the Vegan Child

Each chapter is a building block to becoming a better, more competent cook. The book teaches readers to cook the way someone might learn a new instrument: master a couple of chords, and then start to put them together to form songs.

Each chapter starts with a fresh mission, and readers will cook their way through pastas, salads, sandwiches, bowls, sautés, sheet-pan suppers, and sweets—more than 125 recipes!—until they are ultimately the Best Cook Imaginable.
