Library Journal Review
Flip through most pizza cookbooks, and you'll find recipes featuring a wide variety of cheeses and meats-all taboo for vegans. Lucky for them, pizza aficionado Hasson's (Vegan Diner: Classic Comfort Food for the Body and Soul) latest title is here to bridge the gap. With her guidance, making pizza dough is easy, and there are several kinds of crust to choose from, including gluten-free options. Vegans will especially value the nondairy cheese sauces that appear alongside the customary tomato sauces and pestos, as well as the recipes for mock meats such as pepperoni and sausage crumbles. Traditional pies (tomato basil and garlic, sausage and onion) share space with more adventurous combos such as All-American Barbecue, bibimbap, and Thai peanut, as well as dessert pizzas featuring berries, coconut-caramel, and chocolate. The inclusion of color photographs and vegan mozzarella brand recommendations would have been welcome additions. Verdict While these vegetable-laden offerings will appeal to anyone interested in looking outside the usual (pizza) box, those without food restrictions may gravitate toward more mainstream titles. Pizza-loving vegans looking to expand their repertoire beyond the basics included in many general vegan cookbooks will be excited to give this book a try.-Jude Baldwin, Coll. of the Siskiyous, Weed, CA (c) Copyright 2013.
