Title: Vegan Levels Up !
Review: I am a transplant to the American South from the Polynesian Islands. When I became vegan five years ago the most difficult thing for me was the fact that most vegan recipes are geared towards replicating American foods. I missed the flavors and sheer diversity of home. I love a good burger as much as anyone, but vegan steaks, burgers, chicken, roasts, and cheese are well covered both by commercial products and numerous cookbooks. I longed for the flavors of home; the Bao we would pick up from the local market, the remarkably authentic dishes from the Chinese and Korean restaurants on island. We had a lot of cheap American Fast food, but for REAL food, our South Pacific islands, as does Hawaii, blend tastes from our shared roots with the multitude of islands around the world; Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, the Philippines. Every home had a big bottle of soy, and a 5 pound bag of rice, along with the small chilis that grew everywhere and with which a bit of sugar and lime be turned into dinner at a moment’s notice.Although you can substitute meats or faux meats in the recipes found in this book, tofu is the main protein.This is what I love most, recipes that do not center on replicating meat, but focus on the overall flavor and texture of the dishes. All of these recipes are inexpensive, only a couple have some ingredient that may be hard to find in certain areas. Every recipe is versatile enough that you can substitute or leave out as needed. Healthy, simple, inexpensive, delicious…did I mention easy ? I recommend this book for busy moms, college students on a budget, and anyone who loves the flavors of Asia and Southeast Asia. Rice or noodles, mushrooms or tofu, and a few staples and veggies, dinner is served.

Title: full color photo of each recipe, not many vegetables
Review: First off, I've actually tried the recipes. My personal pet peeve is people who review cookbooks before they've tried any of the recipes. Beware reviewers who say the book "looks" or "seems" good.Every recipe I tried came out fine, directions are clear and easy to follow. What I really LOVE is that each recipe has a full page color photo of the dish.I did not have any issues with hard to find ingredients. I do cook a lot of Asian so most of the jarred sauce stuff I already had on hand. Korean gochujang and shitakes are about as weird as these recipes get, imho.The reason I only give it 4 stars is that there are very few recipes that have any green vegetables in them...there's a lot of tofu recipes and lots of "brown" vegetable dishes (like mushroom dishes) but if you want green you're going to be disappointed. What I also found missing was fresh and light recipes, like a Vietnamese rice noodle dish or such.I tried the Braised Tofu and Mushrooms and it knocked my socks off! I tried this recipe, not because it sounded great, but because I had all the ingredients on hand, so expectations were not that high. But I found it incredible that such basic and simple ingredients could create such a wonderful dish.I also tried the Filipino Pumpkin Fritters simply because they were so different and I've never had anything like that before. I found them ok, not anything I'd try again but edible. So far I've tried five recipes and all have been good and 4 of them I'd make again.

Title: Great little kitchen companion
Review: Most of the cookbooks I own on Asian Cooking treat veggie only recipes as sideshows. This book does a great job of providing full flavor pallets to non-meat cooking. I will admit I use fish sauce, but the recipes are very tasty.

Title: The perfect vegan cookbook for Asian cuisine
Review: I've made 3 dishes so far plus the garlic-chili oil, and they all came out as pictured and extremely tasty! There isn't a recipe in this book I don't want to make TBH. Yes, there are some inexpensive ingredients that will require a trip to your local Asian market, specialty store, or online but you will use said ingredients often if you cook from this book. I believe if you're really that interested in creating delicious, better-than-takeout, vegan Asian cuisine--and I mean ALL Asian cuisine--then this book is definitely for you. Jeeca really means it with the "and more" in the title (thank you for the Afritadas and vegan Kimchi recipes!!). And for those reviewers who hold it against cookbooks for not having any/enough pictures, there is a picture for every recipe. That might explain the price of this small paperback book, but it's worth every penny.Just a few things to note:1. It is definitely tofu-heavy, but you can easily sub tempeh, seitan, or other plant-based option if you prefer2. Not every recipe is 30 min or less. There are some that may take 45 min to an hour, but don't let that discourage you.3. Read the instructions thoroughly!! Some recipes call for making the sauce while the tofu or veggies cook, several steps in. I personally find it easier to prep the sauce or other similar items first. It totally depends on your cooking style.4. Pay close attention to the # of servings per recipe. If you like to meal prep, then you'll want to double the Spicy Dan Dan Noodles to last you the week. Trust me, you WANT to make those noodles.

Review: Bought this recipe book as niece is vegetarian and lactose intolerant, so vegan is perfect. I have had this recipe book for awhile now and I make recipes out of it almost every day. There are a lot of recipes with mushrooms, and myself and family are not a fan of. I just replace mushrooms with another vegetable.

Review: This book is an absolute gem! I've only had it for a few weeks and it's already become my favourite. Jeeca's recipes are easy and have the most incredible flavour. There are vegan food bloggers out there who are louder / more visible, but don't even come close in my view. My only regret is not having discovered her blog and this book sooner. Just a cautionary note to adjust cooking times to your taste. I often cook veg for a little while longer than Jeeca indicates (e.g. onions). I think a lot also depends on your stove and the cookware you use.
