    Party Vegan Cookbook has Fabulous, Fun Food for Every Occasion

    By Alisa Fleming on December 29, 2010 Book and Cookbook Reviews

    I believe Party Vegan is my fourth Robin Robertson cookbook, and thus far, none have let me down. Though we opted to take a break from our annual Christmas party this year, I couldn’t resist trialing out a few recipes. After all, who doesn’t enjoy party-worthy fare every day?

    First up was the Mini Falafel recipe. Wow, what a delicious, fabulous, easy make-ahead recipe … for entertaining or for lunch! I opted for lunch. Robin’s version uses a homemade Harissa Mayo, but since I didn’t have any harissa on hand, I topped each little falafel with a chunk of avocado and a dollop of Sriracha. Equally pretty, don’t you think?

    Next up was the Fingerling Potato Salad with Pan-Fried Arugula Pesto. Tasty? Yes! Attractive? Not my version. I think this would be a lovely vibrant dish if the cherry tomatoes and olives were included (offering a nice contrast to the bright green hue), but I had neither on hand and no one around to impress, so I omitted. The result was savory and flavorful, but not picture-worthy. Moving onto a more attractive dish …

    I can’t resist making at least one baked goodie, and I chose the Chai-Spiced Muffins from Party Vegan.

    The spice blend was absolutely perfect, flavorful but not overpowering, and as Robin notes, great with tea. This recipe was in the Mother’s Day Brunch section, and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect fit. For my family, I might even go a touch more indulgent by topping these muffins with a vanilla frosting. But, since the only thing I was celebrating was tasty muffins, I kept the sugar light by finishing these off with a pat of Earth Balance …

    Of course there is way more in Party Vegan than just these three recipes. The book starts with 30 pages of information, tips, and menus to help you plan a successful gathering. It then moves onto 140 recipes grouped into (several) chapters (or menus) by event. There are 25 menus covering various “anytime gatherings” and “holiday gatherings,” including, but not limited to, effortless potluck, a child’s birthday party, Chinese new year, passover, halloween, cinco de mayo, and of course, new year’s eve!

    Robin has also shared a handful of sample recipes from Party Vegan with us:

    • Apple Pecan Haroset (Seder Menu)
    • Chocolate Cherry Vegan Cheesecake (Valentine’s Day)
    • Sherry Mushrooms (Tapas Section)
    • Pastry-Wrapped Stuffed Cherry Peppers (Holiday Entertaining)
    • Chestnut Bisque (Thanksgiving)

    Party Vegan is available to order on Amazon.

    Robin’s recipes are always so simple and flavorful. A few of the tapas have even turned into regular dinner items in our home!
