Veganomicon: A Book of Recipes from the Post Punk Kitchen

"Veganomicon": the word sounds like the name of a convention or or a disease or something, but it's actually a vegan cookbook. In fact, the book's subtitle calls it "The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook."

A big claim? Maybe so, but authors Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero are pretty well known in the world of vegetarian and vegan cooking. They run the Web site and TV show Post Punk Kitchen and between them have written other cookbooks including "Vegan with a Vengeance" and "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World." (As you can tell by these titles, the authors bring a sense of humor to their subject.)

One review of "Veganomicon" notes that the recipes are open to adaptations, so readers can include animal products if they wish.

The New York Sun has a good article reviewing "Veganomicon" and several other vegan and vegetarian cookbooks.
