Vegan recipes which can be prepared and carried with you for your work lunches or for planes........ Plant based recipes to enjoy on the go.......

This is one of the most “accessible” vegan books I gave come across. The recipes require ingredients that are bought at your local supermarket and, quite frankly, they looked delicious. I am happy to have added several recipes to my repertoire.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for Vegan Yack Attack on the Go! By Jackie Sobon. This is a cookbook of vegan recipes that can fit into a busy life style. The book starts with an introduction and then provides lists and descriptions of pantry necessities and useful equipment. The pantry essentials are things to keep on hand to make quick and easy meals and I found it to be a very helpful guide.

The book then gives you the recipes that are broken up into helpful categories like lunch box stuffers, meals in 30 minutes or less, bulk cooking, and make your own staples. My favorite category was the Quick Breakfasts, Snacks, and Treats that has lots of quick and easy ideas, but still lots of variety to keep meals from getting boring.

There are lots of easy to make, but still delicious recipes. My favorites are: Blueberry Zucchini Breakfast Cookies, Crustless Quiche Bites, Beastly Cauliflower Breakfast Burrito, Green Peach Smoothie (with zucchini for something different), No Bake Apricot Almond Bars, White Bean Rosemary Hummus, Freezer Black Bean Burritos, Summer Stew, Cauliflower Alfredo, Spicy Jackfruit Chili, Lentil Balls, Chocolate Chunk Oats on the Go, Peanut Butter S’mores Dip, and Beer Can Pulled Cabbage.

I recommend this cookbook to anyone looking to go vegan, try more vegan recipes, or just looking for quick and easy tasty recipes.

Jackie Sobon's food photography is always mouth-watering, and this book is such a great resource, not only for vegans but for anyone looking to have a more healthy lifestyle. It also fills a niche in the vegan food market for portable lunches, something that is lacking in the field. I love how everything is a full and hearty meal. There is no unnecessary filler here. Great book.

Schöne Bilder, prima Tipps und leckere Rezepte (die Mandel-Aprikosen-Bars sind der Hammer!) Alles nach dem Motto schnell und einfach, was natürlich Vorteile hat. Allerdings kann ich die Argumente der Hardliner verstehen, dass "vegan" noch mehr beinhaltet.

This book provides a range of recipes including bulk cooking, 30 minute recipes and lunch box ideas!

Its a great guide on how to prepare healthy vegan food that you can make quickly and eat or save for later following the handy tips on how to pack or wrap the food for alter.

If your an experienced vegan, new to the plant based food movement or just wanting to add so new options to you food list, give this cookbook a go.

I received a copy of this book for free from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

Now this is a useful AND inspiring book for vegan breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks that you can take with you 'on the go', whether you're off to school, work, camping, or elsewhere. Instead of just focussing on boring vegan food that no one with any tastebuds would want to eat - as CAN be the case with vegan cookbooks (though increasingly less so these days), this cookbook manages to be engaging and offer recipes that look like they'd be bursting with flavour - and the ones I've tried so far certainly prove this.

My favourites so far have been the quiche bites, baked balsamic tofu, and the lentil balls, but they are just out of the recipes I've tried so far - there are so many more that I'm excited about!

I really like the design of this cookbook - it's simple, fresh and easy to follow. I LOVE that the vast majority of recipes have an accompanying photo, so you know what it's supposed to look like when it's done (and don't most people pick what to eat with their eyes instead of what's actually IN the recipe?!) This book doesn't just reinvent the basics that are often offered up to vegans (oatmeal fifty-thousand different ways, I'm looking at you - not an issue in this book!) but creates some truly appetising, different recipes that aren't ridiculously tricky. Sure, there are more complicated recipes here, but nothing that makes me think "that's not worth it" - so I'm really pleased with this and will certainly be picking up future books by Jackie Sobon. She knows her stuff!

Defiinitely recommended for vegans, vegetarians or people who just want inspiration for meat-free meals.

Making recipes for on thego that are also healthy can be super difficult at times. This cookbook is definitely helping me get there as all the recipes are super portable AND taste amazing.

I think this cookbook is a great addition to the WAY too limited offerings available to vegan cooks. While I am not personally vegan, I have some family members who are, and I am always looking for creative options I can make for them; in addition, I am trying to switch to including 4 - 6 plant based meals in my regular diet and I thought this cookbook would be helpful in helping with that goal. I am happy to report: I was right. This book is filled with a large variety of vegan recipes and lots of gorgeous photographs.

The author, Jackie Sobon, has a food blog, Vegan Yack Attack, that has been a source for vegans trying to find vegan recipes for a long time. She's got a great reputation, and you can tell that these recipes have been tested and tweaked and that she's worked hard to make sure they are clear and concise.

There are 8 sections, a brief introduction and an index. The sections include: Vegan Eating Made Easy, Quick Breakfasts Snacks and Treats, Prep Ahead Recipes, Lunch Box Stuffers, Meals in 30 minutes or Less, Bulk Cooking, Food on the Move and Make Your Own Staples.

The Vegan Made Easy section is basically filled with how to get your kitchen ready for vegan cooking, and helpful tips and tricks.

My favorite sections are the Lunch Box Stuffers and the Food on the Move. The Food on the move section reminded me a lot of my girl scout cookout days, and there are several recipes here that are SO good I forgot there was no meat...which for me, is progress!

Every recipe includes a beautiful picture--I am a big fan of this approach in cookbooks, I really like to see pictures when I'm deciding what to make. Maybe this means I lack imagination? I don't know, but these pictures are terrific and very inspiring. I've tried a couple of recipes that I never would have thought I would have liked, based on the name and the ingredients, but they looked so darn good! And who knew....they tasted pretty good too!

One note: There is no nutritional information provided for any of the recipes.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I'm a traveling teacher, often working in 4-5 schools in a day, and I spend a lot of my work day in my car driving from school to school. I often have to eat my lunch on the go, so I'm always looking for more ideas for quick meals on the go. I'm not vegan, but I loved this book and I'm so excited to try out several of the recipes!

This time around when I wanted to pick up an ARC with good looking interesting content, I picked this Vegan Yack Attack book. I have not checked out the author's blog or the previous book so I went into the book with no particular expectations.

This consists of a set of recipes meant to be handy to pack on the go or make in advance. They are mostly quick, simple and look interesting. There is some time investment required in purchasing of the raw materials but overall they should be easy enough to carry out by even those people who don't count themselves as culinary specialists. 

The only problem I had with the recipes was that most of them seem to be for former meat eaters who miss the texture or feel of their old food. I have never been a non-vegetarian and have never really liked mock meat so this did not really appeal to me. This of course is a personal issue. If you are a vegan in a hurry and dislike eating out when you have to constantly check if people have only put appropriate things in your food, this book might be a good investment to make.

3.5 stars from me. So, my family is not vegan. We have eaten a vegan diet in the past, and I like to mix up our meals to make sure we’re getting enough veggies and don’t get stuck in a rut, so I often check out vegan and vegetarian cookbooks. This one has some good ideas, but I have to be honest that none of them screamed MAKE ME!! when reading through it. But that’s ok - not every cookbook is for everybody. I think this cookbook is more of a workhorse for the actual vegan - some great ideas and inspiration for planning and packing your food for when you’re out on the go - at work or school or wherever. I did appreciate the color photos! My picky eater enjoyed the pumpkin “donut holes” which is a huge win.

Excellent recipes, and excellent photos. A must buy/borrow/read book for anyone who's vegetarian or vegan! Reviewed through NetGalley; bought a copy for our local public library!

The book is amazing. The presentation and the choice of recipes is fantastic.: main dishes, snacks, international flavors, dessert and more. Also, Jackie includes a section for recipes that can be made in less than 30 minutes. Excellent book!

“Vegan Yack Attack on the Go!” is a great cookbook! The information provided in the beginning of the book is great for anyone just getting into vegan cooking, the tips included along with the essential utensils and pantry items were a great addition. The recipes are very easy to follow and every one I tried turned out fantastic! When I am looking through a cookbook, I want big and beautiful full-page pictures to show me what the meals will look like - this helps me choose which recipe to make. This cookbook did not disappoint; the pictures were large and colorful and the recipes I made ended up looking just like the pictures. I especially liked the information and tips at the top of each recipe, some were quite funny especially because I could totally relate! I would not hesitate to recommend this cookbook to anyone looking for a great everyday cookbook.

I went vegan right before I read this book. this book really helped with some easy recipes for the person on the run and with little time...like me

This is a fun, lavishly illustrated cookbook filled with vegan meals and snacks that are designed to be easy to fit into your lifestyle.

Sections include:

Quick Breakfasts, Snacks and Treats
Prep-Ahead Recipes
Lunch Box Stuffers
Meals in 30 Minutes or Less
Bulk Cooking
Food on the Move
Make Your Own Staples

Nearly every recipe has a full color photo, which I love. The recipes tend to sound pretty tasty, and the top section lists if the recipe is gluten free, under 10 ingredients, 30 minutes or less, portable, make-ahead, one pan, soy free, nut free, oil free and/or sugar free. Many of the recipes fit all of these categories, making them a great fit for people with special diets or special recipe needs.

I found myself bookmarking a LOT of recipes to try. While I haven't made any yet, here is a sampling of some that especially appealed to me:

Mini Lavender Mini Cheesecakes (these are also pretty much raw and based on goodies like cashews, coconut oil, lemon and dates, not fake foods)
No-Bake Apricot Almond Bars
Overnight Chia Seed Pudding
Acorn Squash Chips
Teriyaki Mushroom Jerky
Buckwheat Taco Meat
Berry Rhubarb Chia Jam
Simple Cashew Cream
Easy Teriyaki Sauce
Garlic Mayo
Sunflower Parmesan
Coconut Bacon
Butternut Cheese Sauce
Chipotle White Bean Salad Sandwich
Shitake Spring Rolls
Pineapple Teriyaki Burgers

These seem like relatively easy, tasty, rather sophisticated meals and snacks for lunch boxes, barbecues, fast suppers and other times when you want really good food that's homemade, vegan and based on real food. I suspect that non-vegans would also enjoy a lot of the recipes, especially those who seek out healthy dishes that still taste good. The staples section is filled with recipes too, and the cookbook would nearly be worth it just for those. I'm looking forward to trying many of the recipes and will update my review once I have.

** I received a temporary digital ARC of this book for review purposes.

I am a disaster in the kitchen. I don't enjoy cooking or baking, and I often screw up recipes. When I saw this book, with a mission to provide “a wide variety of meals that are fun, tasty, and quick to put together,” I thought, “This book gets me!”

Like many vegan cookbooks, the introduction begins with a list of essential pantry staples and necessary kitchen equipment (nothing a normally stocked kitchen is likely to be without).

Vegan Yack Attack on the Go includes a number of delicious-sounding recipes paired with stunning food photography. I haven't had quiche since I became vegan over ten years ago, and the Crustless Quiche Bites caught my attention.

I would like to eat some of the White Bean Rosemary Hummus this minute! For me, the thirty minute or less chapter is perfect...One Pot Pasta, Summer Stew, and Butternut Mac and Trees are on my menu. The Baked Balsamic Tofu over Mixed Greens makes my mouth water.

The cookbook includes food I would never image but want to make: Campfire Banana Splits, Pastry-Wrapped Carrot Dogs, and Peanut Butter S’mores Dip are treats to take to barbeques or pot luck dinners. Few cookbooks devote a chapter to these dishes that can be taken to foodcentric social events, and it’s nice to have a wide selection here.

The instructions for the dishes are clear and simple. I think even I could be successful following these recipes! None of the ingredients seem obscure or difficult to find in a grocery store. What makes the cookbook unique, though, is the emphasis on simplicity, meal planning and making in advance, and portability.

Sobon provides guides that appear with each recipe: less than ten ingredients (definitely up my alley), one-pan (all right!), portable, make-ahead, and sugar/soy/nut/oil/gluten free.

I definitely think this will be a much-used cookbook in our house!

OMG! This cookbook has a recipe for vegan pierogi! It gets all the stars for that recipe only, but actually this is one of the best cookbooks I found and read and browsed and took notes from in a while!

Featuring recipes from simple to super complicated, savory to sweet, to basics that you can keep in the kitchen for weeks. It does not matter if it's vegan or not, this cookbook simply has a balance that it is hard to achieve in cookbooks. There is a recipe for everyone in here, and while it might be the pierogi for me - I am also excited for those miso chickpeas because I just got some miso paste and all those deliciously looking salad jars that I can pack for work.

The main theme of the book is food you can have on the go, and more importantly, vegan food that you can have on the go. I have to say I was expecting only salads and sandwiches and protein balls, but there are stew recipes, there is whole chapter on camping recipes and the salads presented here look delicious! It surprised me, it delighted me and I cannot type any other word because I am going to make those vegan pierogi!

This is a cookbook focused on quick, portable, vegan (no meat, dairy, eggs) snacks and meals. There were just over 100 recipes, and most of the recipes were less than 30 minutes (or 10 minutes) to make. The author used things like store-bought "vegan cheese" or "vegan yogurt," probably to save time and effort. She even used a gluten-based meat substitute in some of the recipes. She indicated if a recipe was safe for people with certain allergies, but she did use soy products in a number of recipes and tree nuts in others. The recipes also used added oil (usually sunflower oil) and added sugar (like agave nectar). While the recipes looked simple enough to do and generally used common ingredients, there just weren't many recipes that looked interesting to me.

The recipes were grouped as breakfast and snacks (including smoothies, bars, cookies, a scramble, etc.), prepare ahead of time food (bars, veggie chips, granola, crackers, etc.), lunch (sandwiches, a wrap, salads, etc.), meals and sides that take less than 30 minutes to make and serve about four people (chili, burgers, pasta, cornbread, etc.), main dish recipes that are easy to double or triple, campfire and grill recipes, and sauces and jams.
