In reviewing The Vegan Table by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, I was immediately struck by the amount of photos in the book. I have quite a few vegan cookbooks without any pictures at all. I love looking at pictures of food, especially if I’m attempting to make said food.
Having said that, I of course, decided to make the Roasted Asparagus Soup with Thyme which had no picture. I just had to do something with all that asparagus in the fridge. It was delicious, creamy and very easy to make.
Although I was a little surprised that the recipe called for only the asparagus tips to be roasted. Then again, I’m biased towards roasting lots of veggies and had to refrain myself from eating all of the tips while the soup was cooking.
The Vegan Table is organized around various entertaining menus, from cozy romantic dinners to casual dining, holidays and special occasions. Besides the wide range of recipes, there’s also helpful tips and interesting tidbits. A fine addition to any kitchen library, whether for a single recipe or a complete menu plan.
