Summary: A "Classic" That Should Be On Everybody's Kitchen Bookshelf
Review: Like something out of a time capsule from the early-70s hippie back-to-the-land movement, this cookbook combines a wholesome, innocent sweetness with floral-psychedelic layout and graphics, and the best do-it-from-scratch soybean recipes anywhere. When this was written, tofu and tempeh and soymilk were not off-the-shelf supermarket items. But if you think you'll skip those recipes, be advised that fresh-made tofu has a subtle but amazing texture and flavor that beats the pants off anything you'll get out of a package! Based on the diet described in this book, and on studies of the people living on The Farm, the American Dietetic Association gave vegan-ism their stamp of approval, even for kids (ref: www.eatright.org). Buy this book, and see why the Sixties had such a major influence on food as we know it! And check out the subsequent cookbooks written by Hagler and Bates.

Summary: A must for your vegan library
Review: the New Farm cook book is a must for a vegan's cook book library. perhaps the best recipes in the book are the breakfast & baked goods: Who says pancakes have to have eggs in them! The book offers helpful tips for making tofu, wheat gluten, tempeh & soy milk. It also has photos and cute cartoons of the folks at the New Farm commune doing their thing. It offers advice on raising vegan children, and vegan nutrition while pregnant. Most of the recipes are easy and very "American" style, like cheese-less mac & cheese, grilled tofu sandwiches, etc. There is also a section on vegan jewish foods, like knishes, that is great. The only thing I dislike about this cookbook is that it tends to call for powdered spices rather then fresh... and you have to admit that nothing beats fresh garlic! Of course, you can always substitute. For the cookie recipes that called for honey I used a mixture of turbinado sugar and maple syrup. it worked fine! Buy the book! You won't regret it! :-)

Summary: The one cookbook I couldn't do without
Review: This book contains my all-time favorite (and most asked for) recipies. The tofu cheesecake, tofu mannicotti, and chocolate cake recipies alone are reason enough to get this book. Most of the dishes are fairly easy to make; those that aren't are worth the effort. One note:a number of the recipies call for honey;if you opt not to use honey, you'll have to come up with your own substitutions.

Summary: Yeh! to the people at The Farm!
Review: This book is a great introduction to basic soy cooking FROM THE RAW BEAN. Get into 'meat without bones!' Making tempeh is too cool, and this book got me started. It is full of excellent tips relating to all sorts of vegetarian dishes, and the wide range of recipes makes it very useful.

Review: This is a wonderful cookbook! Most of the recipes are extremely easy to make, without tons of ingredients. All of the recipes are delicious! It contains a large dessert section (unlike many vegan cookbooks). It also includes tips on making soy milk, soy yogurt, tofu, and tempeh. This is a cookbook I can't live without!

Summary: Recipes for making soy products at home and using them.
Review: Undeniably the best vegetarian cookbook I've ever encountered. The book is packed with recipes using tofu, tempeh, soymilk, and soy yogurt. In addition, it includes no-fail instructions about how to make these products at home. How to make soy ice cream, soy cheese and wheat gluten are also included. This is the most-used cookbook on my shelf and has been for 11 years! I'm about ready to need a new copy...
