The Make Ahead Vegan cookbook is my favorite vegan cookbook I have purchase so far. There are so many different type of vegan recipes offered in here from appetizers "party pleasers" to breakfast meals, soups, side dishes, main meals, condiments, sweets (yes, really yummy vegan sweets), and frozen desserts. I am thrilled with the quality of the cookbook, the variety offered, the beautiful pictures to compliment the recipes, and the easy to follow instructions. Thank you to Ginny Kay McMeans for this masterpiece. This is a cookbook my whole family will enjoy me cooking from!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a cookbook with real food recipes...
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is a VERY good cookbook, I will even go as far as saying excellent. The recipes are real food-- and by this I mean no tofu, tempeh, and other things like this. It's been almost a year and a half now, since I began implementing a change over to a plant-based lifestyle. Books like The Make Ahead Vegan Cookbook are a wonderful asset to making eating this way easier. I am not a soy person for health reasons, she does have at least one powdered soy milk ingredient, but I ain't mad at her. The recipes/dishes are easy and I don't have to run out looking for strange ingredients to prepare them. I can use my slow cooker, and I just happen to have a panini maker, so I'm excited. Some of her recipes suggest the use of these. Basically EVERYTHING in her recipes I love, beans, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, vegetables. This is great, because I live out of the country for 10 months out of the year, and it's not always easy for me to find a lot of "healthy additions" that would be easier to pick up in the US, depending on what part of the country you live in. So in a nut shell, 5 stars. If you follow a WFPB diet, or are vegan or vegetarian, or if you eat meat, and maybe want to implement a day of no meat--or if you want to prepare a meal for a friend or loved one who doesn't eat meat, this is an excellent basis of where to begin. You can make meals ahead, freeze them, and when you need to, just take them out and pop them in the oven. 👍🏾👍🏾

4.0 out of 5 stars Not really my thing, but not bad.
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2020
Verified Purchase
There's nothing specific about this book that I *don't* like, but I just never use it. To be fair to the author, several chapters (appetizers, breakfast, sweets) are not really my cup of tea so I tried not to judge it too harshly. The first few pages of tips on freezing are helpful to know.
On a recent cookbook purge I flipped through and noted the lovely quality photos, the careful detailed instructions, and the recipes that look simple and easy - and then I just... put it back on the shelf. I'm not getting rid of it, but I also didn't see anything that I just HAD to try out. Nothing looked appealing enough to dirty the kitchen for. Shrug? Maybe it will speak to me in the future, or maybe it's a book I'll flip through every five years before returning it to its spot on the shelf.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some useful recipes, but overall unextraordinary.
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2016
Verified Purchase
I read A LOT of vegan cookbooks. I was expecting this book to offer something different. Whenever I freeze ahead, I'm making at least a double batch so we can have dinner tonight and another in the freezer for later, since it takes the same amount of time to cook extra. These recipes are designed to serve 4-6 people, including instructions for freezing if you're not eating it right away. That said, there may be a fair amount of recipes similar to those in many other cookbooks, and most are pretty basic. Some call for processed vegan foods like vegan ground beef or packaged vegan cheese (My personal preference is to focus on whole foods, or making my own meat or cheese substitutes), but there are also some recipes definitely worth my time, mostly condiments/sauces, and sweets. I've tried the Cashew Mayonnaise (although I don't soak cashews, because I use a Vitamix), and Homemade Ketchup, with good results. I will make these again. I'm always happy to find solid recipes for staple foods I can make instead of purchase ready made. I have my eye on the Blueberry Ginger Preserves, Magic Cookie Bars (with a recipe for sweetened condensed non-dairy milk), and the Peanut Butter Cup Balls. I'm not sure it's worth buying for the "Freeze Ahead" aspect of the book, but I figure, if there are at least 3 recipes I will actually use more than once in a book, then I haven't wasted my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to have in your library
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2016

Great book for my husband. My husband is vegetarian and the rest of the family isn't. It is hard to cook 2-3 dinners a night to accommodate everyone... Especially as a working mom. It is great to be able to spend a Sunday cooking and having freezer ready meals for the weeks to come. He is vegetarian and although he is not vegan he loves the meals that I have made from this book. He has been trying to cut cheese out so we have made the cashew cheese and other substitutes but I will still use butter and milk. So far this book has been great and he has loved the recipes.

My husband and I are somewhat new to the vegan lifestyle and this book has been great. Being able to make meals ahead of time prevents us from slipping. Recipes are tasty, don't require crazy ingredients are varied and pretty simple. Definitely recommend this book.

Believe it or not, I've barely done any cooking for years but for some reason I've actually started cooking with this particular cookbook. I don't really know why. The recipes-although vegan-seems less complex than other cookbooks. Everything that I've tried in this cookbook has been so good, too.
I'm 66 and this is the best cookbook I've ever used.

Really good quality vegan recipes, but I was hoping for more main meals as I don't really plan on side dishes and appetisers in advance. More for those who like to entertain, as opposed to those looking for some nice meals to make in bulk and stick in the freezer.

The recipes are nice but they require a lot of already processed vegan food (like croissant pastry, vegan ground meat, etc). It's still my second best vegan cookbook.
