Epic Vegan: Wild and Over-the-Top Plant-Based Recipes | Dustin Harder

pick

REVISED VERSION!
Thank you to the publisher's for sending me another copy that had actual content between the endpapers.

Boisterous title, add a pinch of humour and a side of reality, and you have a wonderful cookbook. Honestly, Mr Harder wants to make cooking a joy and not slaving at the stove, following recipes that have weird ingredients and even weirder instructions.
This cookbook has epic recipes with instructions that are easy to follow.

Cinfhen Hi @julesG Hope you‘re having a good summer š¨ 5y

julesG @Cinfhen busy summer. With a halfway remodelled bathroom, lots of appointments, cool weather, but I'm trying to make the best of it. š 5y

Cinfhen I hear ya on the busy!!! Glad you‘re feeling well xx 5y

GingerAntics The first copy didn‘t have anything between the end papers? How did that happen? Cool they send another copy. 5y

julesG @GingerAntics Both were digital copies. But the first only had the TOC, a few pictures, a few headlines and the index. Not much to review. 5y

GingerAntics Oh wow, that‘s really weird. That must have been a much earlier digital version. 5y

julesG @GingerAntics It's probably a formatting glitch. I was first looking at an epub document and the second copy was a PDF. It sometimes happens with NetGalley ARCs 5y

GingerAntics Eh stuff happens. I‘m glad this one turned out to be worth dealing with the glitch. It sounds like the kind of cookbook most people want. 5y

so-so

Boisterous title! Wonderful cover picture!

BUT my review copy had little to no content between the ToC and Index. Shame! I would have loved to find out more about the epic food, not just read a few snippets about the author and look at a few pictures of yummy food.

EPIC FAIL!!!!

Hence just a so-so - it might be really good, but I cannot judge it.

Tove_Reads What was the point of this book? 5y

julesG @Tove_Reads No idea! I wrote to the publishers that I expect an ARC to have at least some content that can be reviewed. Yes, the author and publisher might want to protect the content of the book, but that was a joke. Maybe it's a publicity stunt, word gets out about the book. 5y

Tove_Reads Could it be a mistake? 5y

julesG @Tove_Reads Might be. They might still revise the ARC 5y

Weaponxgirl That‘s so annoying! 5y

Very disappointing. How am I supposed to review a cookbook if there is not a single recipe that I can look at???

There are a few snippets of text. There are a few pictures of yummy food. But most of the ARC looks like what you can see in the picture.

Megabooks That‘s really too bad! 5y

Crazeedi Wow, that's crazy!! 5y

Daisey Sometimes I‘m completely baffled by the formatting of galleys. I know it‘s not meant to be a final copy, but those aspects are hard to see past when trying to review. 5y

SW-T Ummmm....no recipes in a cookbook? Sigh. Hopefully an ARC failing and not the final product š³ 5y

Pre-approved food ARCs. Not sure which to read first - and cook at least one recipe from. (not reviewing until I've tried one recipe).

Tove_Reads Epic Vegan, because then I know if it‘s worth it or not! 5y

julesG @Tove_Reads It's the one calling to me most, too. The title is very boisterous. 5y

Weaponxgirl Was the one I was looking at too! 5y
