According to Amazon, "Veganize This! shows herbivores and carnivores alike how to turn the delicious dishes from their previous butter- and beef-filled lives into tasty vegan creations that go well beyond the sprouts-and-groats fare often still associated with veganism. For the gastronomist, Chef Jenn’s creations include Jumbo Lump Jack- Fruit Crab Cakes with Spanish Garlic Mayonnaise and Quattro Formaggio White Truffle Macaroni and Cheese. Craving something a little more down-home and comforting? Check out the recipes for DIY Vegan “Doritos®” and Chicken Fried Tofu Steak. With tips and tricks throughout—from making your own mock meats to killer dairy substitutes—Veganize This! is also accompanied by a healthy side dish of sass; Shagrin’s comedienne-by-day humor makes this a read that’s satisfying for the funny bone as well as the belly."

I will say one thing though, the right bottom corner is a little bent because I think it got smushed when I placed it in the bag with the other hardback books. It is brand-new though, and I promise to make up the bent corner with some vegan cookies and nut butters. :)
So let the entering begin!
Are there any dishes you would like to veganize, but haven't yet?
I have a killer dessert pizza that I used to make, but I haven't made it since becoming vegan. I'd also like to make some vegan brownies and I think I have the perfect way to do it. My goal is to put all the other vegan brownies out there to shame! Bwahaha!! I'll probably make some this week or next and share the results with y'all.

I would love to veganize a good bratwurst as being from WI and grilling season is starting I am starting to crave them! Mac and Cheese would be another one I haven't tried yet. That cookbook looks awesome. Thanks for the chance to win!

Looks Great!

My husband and I loved clams and spaghetti before going vegetarian a few years back and I still haven't found a good substitute. Someday I might get around to trying to make a similar vegan dish...maybe with some oyster mushrooms.
I've yet to veganize slowcooker potroast...I used to have it all the time as a kid and haven't mastered it yet. Fingers crossed! =)
I would love to win this book!! But I think I would love to see your vegan brownie recipe just as much... :-)

I would love to veganize mac and cheese!
For some silly reason, I have never made vegan baklava. I should get on top of that!
I always feel obligated to veganize old family recipes. My grandmother hates the idea of my raising vegan kids, not for the reasons that most people object to vegan babies, but because they won't know their food cultural herritage. So if anyone knows a good vegan lefse recipe, let me know.
Would love to make a good tuna casserole or mac and cheese vegan. Thanks for the chance to win!
Believe it or not, I NEVER ate mac n' cheese as a non-vegan. I've just never really cared for the stuff, but I can see why people would definitely want to veganize such a comfort food. :)
@ Amber - Vegan baklava sounds awesome! I've often flirted with the idea of making my own.
@ Lisette - My family doesn't have much of a cultural culinary heritage other than some German and rural Midwestern influences (gooseberries, black walnuts... lots of pig...), but I think it's awesome that you try to veganize family recipes to keep their food heritage! I think that's important as well.
Vegan baklava -- yum. I made it for my anti-vegan mother and she said it was the best baklava she's ever had.
As for what I would like to veganize, I'm with Lisette. If I could veganize some French Canadian foods I grew up with, like cretons, pork pie, and poutines (made with pork), that would be amazing.

I would love to veganize clams and spaghetti. It was one of my husbands favorite meals and I haven't been able to find a substitute. Maybe some oyster mushrooms instead of clams?
Possibly. Though I've never ate a clam. I hear they have a weird texture. :)
Lol, I mean the clams have a unique texture so that would be different about the dish if you were to veganize it. Clams are still an animal. I don't eat seafood.
Didn't want any confusion in there!
