While I'm still enamored with Isa Does It and am now going back for round two of fave recipes, I've had a diversion or two in the midst of the Isa love. For example, Vegan Pizza! I've had pizza at least once a week (well, twice, since my pizza dough recipe makes enough for 2 pizzas), but I am not complaining. Such a perfect food.
Anyway, nothing earth-shattering in the Vegan Pizza book, but they are solid recipes. I'm not one to do a whole lot of experimenting in the kitchen, which is why following recipes has such appeal to me. I'm a compulsive rule-follower, plus I don't like wasting food when experiments go awry, so I'm definitely a recipe gal.

Broccoli Cheddar Pizza
Cowboy Pizza (my fave of the bunch)
Peanut Barbeque Pizza (recipe here)
And up this week is Thai Peanut Pizza. And while the pizza recipes have all been good, there are some gems in the ingredients, as well. The sweet and smoky soy curls are delicious, and the cheddar cashew cheese sauce is fantastic! I have used it in several other recipes and am not ashamed to admit that I would eat this by the spoonful as soup. There are also recipes for burger, taco, and pizza crumbles that I haven't gotten to just yet but that look promising.
I got this book from the library, as I try to do with any cookbook before making the purchase plunge, and with this one I decided to copy the recipes of interest and pass on the purchase. No particular reason, other than I'm trying to be judicious about cookbook purchases and while this one is solid, it did not bowl me over. That's not to say the recipes aren't great and that I haven't enjoyed the pizzas, it's just that I didn't see myself referencing this book over and over like I have with others. Still, it's definitely worthy of a look, so check it out if you get the chance.
Pizza, how I love thee.
