Appetite for Reduction

I've always admired Isa Chandra Moskowitz's creativity and flair with coming up with great vegan meals.  I own a few of her cookbooks, including Veganomicon and Vegan with a Vengeance.  There were many times, though, when flipping through a cookbook of hers that I wished she'd use less oil, remove the refined flours and sugars .... now she has!

Isa's new cookbook, Appetite for Reduction, appeared on my porch a week or so ago and I've been having a great deal of fun exploring her new collection of vegan recipes.



There are many recipes I want to try: Pineapple Collards, Sun-dried Tomato-Walnut Salad Dressing, Sushi Roll Edamame Salad, and Mushroom Tibs (spicy mushrooms with curry).

Last night I made my first foray into this cookbook with this excellent chili:

 

Chipotle Chili and Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts.  It was excellent.
