 Best cookbook I own May 10, 2008
I've been a vegetarian my whole life, and I own a lot of the old veggie/vegan standbys (Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Moosewood, etc.). The Candle Cafe Cookbook is my favorite by far. It's the book I reach for when I feel like making a new dish for a party and I really want a foolproof, guaranteed-to-be-good recipe.
I've never been disappointed with a single dish, and each one has a certain impressive, gourmet flair. (Lots of compliments when I invite people to dig in.) No recipe is particularly hard to make. And there's a strong emphasis on simple, hearty food with legumes, root vegetables, inspired seasoning, and whole grains.
The dishes I make over and over: the lentil chowder, spicy soba noodle stirfry, stuffed winter squash, and stirfried mixed greens.
Props to the folks at Candle Cafe -- you've made a really excellent cookbook that has brought me a lot of pleasure (both in the cooking and the eating).
A Great cookbook in my collection! April 26, 2008
This is one of my favorite cookbooks that I own. There are a few pages that my fingers have been all over and you can tell how "used" the book is! I think the cornmeal custed tempeh is my favorite recipe in this book, and by the way THAT PAGE looks anyone would agree. I often change it up a bit and make it with Seitan instead of Tempeh for a change. This book was well worth the buy and I use it often!
The best easy vegan gourmet cookbook December 2, 2007

I love Candle Cafe and visit the restaurant at least once a week. This cookbook is hands down the best vegan cookbook I have ever owned. The thing about candle is that not only is it organic & vegan, but the ingredients are all natural & simple. Lots of vegan cookbooks require all sorts of bad, processed ingredients that I try to avoid. The ingredients are also easy to find and I generally have them on hand. Some reviewers have had experiences with measurements in this book being inaccurate, I have not experienced this though. Only one recipe I had tried was a flop and that was the 'Creamy Broccoli Soup'. The Phyllo Triangles are amazing and I make them all the time--non-vegans don't even know the difference. I have made the Seitan Chimchurri with homemade seitan and that came out fantastic. I have also tried the Paradise Casserole which was fine with the brown mushroom gravy (that gravy is outstanding!). I have also made the granola recipe in the book very often and LOVE it as well as the sweet potato homefries. This book has introduced me to so many great recipes that I will be making for years to come. Every vegan should own this book--I can't rave about it enough.

If you have not been to Candle 79 you MUST go! this restaurant is fabulous and the cookbook is just as good. the cuisine at the restaurant is exquisite. I am not sure if i'll be able to cook this food the same way. the recipes are complex but easy to understand. i'm looking forward to trying them.
Amazing Cookbook! October 29, 2007

I have loved every single recipe out of this book. The brownie recipe is one that I've come back to time and again, it is perfect! I've found all the recipes to be easy to follow and the ingredients are easy to find even for someone living an hour away from a "good" grocery store. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in making delicious vegan meals.
