Product Description: Two great vegan cookbooks combined: an anthology of Vanessa's "The Dirty South", issues 1-3 and Ryan Splint's Australian masterpiece "Hot Damn and Hell Yeah". HD&HY is a finely illustrated and designed collection of recipes that aren't afraid of spices but are suited for those into easy to find ingredients that don't taste like sawdust. The Dirty South is a unique take on southern cooking, vegan style with some tasty delectibles, especially for those not afraid of garlic or baking. We are really excited to unleash this new vegan cooking onslaught onto the world. A 128 page book sizzling with great cooking ideas and recipes. Nutrition isn't always the first priority for either of these editors but the recipes are incredible in both cases.
Hot damn and hell no! Probably the worst vegan cookbook that I ever bought. The cookbook is disorganized, the recipes are usually incorrect (as other commentors have said) and the two recipes I tired were horrible (and I am a great cook). Also, the "Dirty South" cookbook (this is really two cookbooks in one....can't really describe it except to say that there are two front covers to the book)...anyway, the dirty south cookbook is a disaster. The Red Velvet Cake doesn't work as a recipe.....and the turnip stew. YUCK.
Delicious Recipes The name and cover of the book may be a little bit deceiving, but we have loved the recipes in this book! My husband's favorite is the taco filling - he can even make it on his own despite the fact that he is a notoriously horrible cook.
Not perfect, but still great! The typos, grammatical errors and vague measurements are a bit annoying, however being that I am an experienced vegan cook, I don't really follow many measurements anyway. It serves as a good base to yummy, simple not to mention kid friendly recipes (nothing too fancy in here!). I enjoyed it and every recipe I have tried out of it has come out very tasty (the mac n cheez, chocolate cake and apple pie are all awesome).
Good basic vegan cookbook with split personalities The first half of this book -- the "Hot Damn & Hell Yeah" part -- is written entirely in southern twang (along the vein of "cook fer 10 minutes, all the while stirrin' the pot ter make sure it doesn't stick ter the bottom"). Despite being slightly difficult to read, it's kind of fun. I always enjoy using this cookbook; most of the recipes are easy to follow, contain ingredients you already have in your kitchen, and taste delicious. There are a variety of recipes: gravy, TVP chili, Spanish rice, herbed couscous, cornbread, sweet potato pie, etc.
The second 'zine-style half is pretty useless, though, because there aren't enough directions. There are a few recipes that sound great but that I have never been able to make, as this half doesn't tell you what is what or even how to combine some of the odd recipes to make a complete dinner.
There are certainly more gourmet cookbooks out there, but this is a nice little one to have in your collection.
Just Okay I've tried a few recipes so far and they have been easy to make but just okay to eat. I may think this way just because I have gone beyond this kind of cooking--I purchased it to help my young son deal with veganism. Hope springs eternal however and I will keep going and hope for some really good ones! I love to see people put their efforts into books like this and get published!! Good luck!
