INTRODUCTION
Veganomicon. What does it mean? Is it the economic theory of eating tofu-dogs? Maybe an all-meatless convention? Or was it from that movie . . . that book Bruce Campbell finds in the woods and accidentally reads aloud, and then his dead girlfriend is flying around laughing inside the cabin, and he suddenly has a chainsaw instead of a hand?1
No, no, it’s none of those. It’s just the doorstop of a cookbook that you hold in your precious hands—over 250 of our new favorite, most-requested recipes—and a big vegan cookbook needed a big vegan name. (But just to be safe, don’t read this cookbook backward at the stroke of midnight.)
This is the book that was the proverbial flax-egg before the unchicken. That is, it’s the epic, master guide we’ve wanted to write for years, back when Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World was just a twinkle in our eyes and long before Vegan with a Vengeance packed up her things, flew the nest, and moved away to attend community college. Our new baby, the Veganomicon, is a big, bold vegan cookbook that doesn’t hold back any punches. But don’t be scared; she’s quite a softy compared to her punk-rock older sister. She’s like a love song (’80s power ballad, with some light ’70s rock and a touch of post-punk angst) to our favorite things about vegan cooking—its diverse, delicious flavors and limitless possibilities.
But enough with the pop-culture references; what the heck is it, really? Well, it’s a good old-fashioned, all-purpose cookbook. And when we say “all-purpose” we mean it—you’ll find everything from savory sauces and flaky potpies to luscious pastas and fabulous finger foods . . . there are nourishing soups; amazing salads that step way beyond mixed greens; and protein-packed entrées that make the best use of tofu, tempeh, and homemade seitan.
