The author is a fabulous blogger and cookbook writer.

Many great recipes for those who are short on time or simply don’t want to spend lots of time in the kitchen.

Will immediately purchase and gift to fellow plant-based eaters to do the same.

A great variety of vegan recipes, complimented by great photos. Some real unique stuff in here, and yummy looking too!

I absolutely love this book. It's full of inventive, yet easily accessible vegan recipes.

The introduction and helpful tips at the beginning of the book are great for new vegans or inexperienced cooks. I couldn't agree more with the comments the author made about why she went vegan, and I felt like I could relate to her journey so much as it seems so similar to my own.

The recipes in the book are not anything I haven't seen before, but there are some great ideas and twists on tried and tested recipes. There are also some fantastic staples in here, including seitan and coconut bacon, that I've seen around but never found a perfect recipe for until now!

All in all I think this is an essential book for all vegan home cooks, and I would urge non-vegans to give it a try too! I'm sure they would be amazed at how much they would enjoy eating the meals in this book.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Fair Winds Press for my unbiased opinion of the book. What a great cookbook!!! I tried Kale Raspberry Grain Salad, Shiitake Spring Rolls, and Summer Stew. I cannot wait to work my way through the rest of this book.

Vegan Yack Attack On The Go is a wonderful book for Vegans and those looking for healthier recipes. Unique recipes are included for breakfast, lunch, picnics, gatherings, anytime, and nothing is very complicated. I am looking forward to trying most of the recipes.

Vegan Yack Attack On The Go by Jackie Sobon

With seven years of experience cooking, eating and sharing recipes on her blog, Vegan Yack Attack, this author has presented recipes that are creative and tasty sounding. There is information related to pantry staples, cooking utensils and storage containers as well as tips and tricks to make cooking easier. Some of the recipes sounded intriguing but then I would see ingredients that I don’t stock in my pantry and wonder if I will be able to find them in markets here in Lebanon. I like the idea for some of the wraps and salads as well as a few of the breakfast ideas and really was intrigued by the campout recipes. A number of recipes have variations and that is always a nice. The photographs are gorgeous and the recipes appear to be easy to follow so if I can find the ingredients for some of the recipes I will give them a try. Nutritional information is not included and I might have enjoyed having some options for substitutions if/when possible. That said, I did sign up for information from the blog, Instagram and Facebook and look forward to doing so recipe sleuthing online in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.

4 Stars

I have long been an advocate of eating simply with fresh, colorful, natural and nutritious ingredients. Most of my meals are already vegetarian, and I feel the positive difference in my body. I am now interested in going a step further into vegan and hopefully my husband will embrace it as well. This recipe collection is a good place to start and begins my first attempt to do just that. I don’t know how many recipes there are in total but there are a lot of them. I am inspired.

I get excited about cookbooks and have a huge collection so couldn’t wait to dig in. At first look, I see the Pantry Necessities page showing the easily obtainable ingredients - good, I can do this. Right off the bat I learned one simple and common-sense tip - treat your refrigerator like a salad bar. Well that should be easy (I think?).

There is a recipe guide explaining notes included when glancing at a recipe; whether gluten-free, nut-free, one-pan, portable, under 10 ingredients, etc. A very helpful concept in today’s world of a multitude of food allergies and diet preferences.

Now onto the recipes. I paged through the entire book and found few recipes I did not want to try. Most seem simple, straightforward and every recipe includes a colorful photo.

Fast forward to today. So far, I have tried 5 of the recipes - Blueberry zucchini breakfast cookies (great on-the run breakfast), freezer black bean burritos (gluten-free option), BBQ tempeh wrap (first time tasting tempeh), shiitake spring rolls (minus the cilantro) and veggie sushi bento box which was a nice change-up to the california/salmon rolls I normally make. I wouldn’t hesitate to make any of these recipes again and even my meat-loving husband enjoyed them. Next on my ‘to make’ list are to try a few dinner options like the cleverly titled “butternut mac and trees” (gluten free/soy free) and one that seriously peaks my interest Spicy Jackfruit Chili. Never have I had a jackfruit and don’t even know what one looks like, but hopefully it will be easily obtainable at my local grocers.

This book is so much fun. I love that Jackie Sobon's voice is light-hearted and informative without being at all "preachy", which I have found previously when reading vegan/vegetarian food blogs and cookbooks. I should probably also say here that I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I do enjoy healthy food and I try to eat vegetarian food as much as possible. This book makes that choice much simpler.

The pictures in this book are sunny and gorgeous and make you feel healthy just looking at them. The photos are detailed so you know what you're aiming for. The photos are so gorgeous you could use this as a coffee table book if it's not being used in the kitchen!

The recipes I have tried were both tasty and healthy and many inspired a new way of looking at an old recipe. For example, I love avo smash on toast and Sobon goes further here with her "loaded avocado lentil toast", which made the option much more exciting and filling. I also really enjoyed all of the jar recipes and found them so useful - again, I really like the idea of jars for salads but my ideas were getting a bit tired and this has helped reinvigorate lunches.

I have a friend who suffers from a number of food allergies and I will be buying her a copy of this book. I also really loved here, as someone who is gluten intolerant, that all recipes are clearly marked so you can see whether it is GF or at least readily adaptable.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group - Fair Winds Press and Jackie Sobon for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! There are so many unique recipes in here! I look through a lot of cookbooks and most are the same dishes over and over again. Not so with "Vegan Yack Attack on the Go"! There are so many things in here I want to make right away.

I'm very impressed with the recipes, the photos (I counted only 4 recipes without a photo), and the layout. She clearly labels each recipe with important distinctions like "nut-free"and "30 minutes or less". There's an occasional far-out ingredient that will be difficult for me to buy where I live, but honestly, there's much less of that than in the typical vegan cookbook. A bunch of these appear to be quite labor-intensive (they do that thing where it's a recipe with one or two other recipes as ingredients), but she does a good job of explaining how to prepare things ahead of time to use as staples or to take with you for food on the go.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This Vegan cookbook is fantastic! The recipes sound delicious and I am so excited to try them out!

While a few seem to use store bought vegan "fake" products, like cheese, most do not and have actual recipes for foods like bacon and cheese that use vegan foods to substitute in. Since I'm a mom of young children and we don't have extra to spend on expensive vegan free specialty foods, I love that they have easy do it yourself recipes!

The only thing I would change is to have more pictures and having nutritional facts. Otherwise it is spot on and an essential for every Vegan or anyone who is trying to improve their health by eating better!

Lots of interesting recipes. Part of the reason I stopped being vegetarian was how hard it was to find things on the go. Having a variety of things ready for lunch or snacks certainly makes it easier to stick to. I will not become vegan but I will eat meatless more often after this book!

If you’re a vegan, and especially an American vegan, chances are you have heard of Vegan Yack Attack. Maybe you’re a fan of Jackie Sobon’s excellent blog, or perhaps you already own her first book, “Vegan Bowl Attack!” Possibly, you follow her column in VegNews magazine. As a food photographer, she has also illustrated some of my favorite cookbooks, like “NYC Vegan” and “Superfoods 24/7.” Many readers value illustrated recipes, and as we say in German, ‘das Auge isst mit’ (‘the eye eats, as well’). In any case, you know you’re in good hands with Jackie.

Requesting books by popular authors is a game of chance because publishers get TONS of requests, and so I consider myself particularly lucky to receive a preview copy of “Vegan Yack Attack on the Go!” Many, many people online have expressed frustration when it comes to putting meals together quickly, or coming up for lunch ideas for school and office. In this book, you will find answers in form of dishes that come together fast, can be made ahead, or both.

After a blissfully short introduction (I’m not big on intros), new vegans especially will find the first chapter, Vegan Eating Made Easy, a huge help for creating a kitchen well stocked with basic necessities. The Helpful Tips and Tricks are helpful indeed to ensure maximum enjoyment of your culinary creations and also a word on oil-free cooking. I would like to point this out in particular, because all too often comments show up by reviewers who have neglected to actually read the entire book and then complain that they ended up returning it for not accommodating an oil-free lifestyle!

But on to chapter 2, Quick Breakfasts, Snacks, and Treats. Here you find 14 recipes to suit your preference, from smoothies and floats to bars, cheesecakes, and chickpea scramble to burritos. Chapter 3, Prep-Ahead Recipes, contains all-purpose items like trailmix, overnight oats, crackers, popcorn, and even mushroom jerky. As a huge fan of overnight oats, I have put the Overnight Peach Pecan Oats on my “must try” list before the preview expires. This chapter isn’t all sweets and snacks, though: you’ll also find a recipe for Freezer Black Bean Burritos and Millet Sweet Potato Soup Bags, for example. Please note that from here on out, recipes may require several steps to prepare different components; be sure to read the entire recipe ahead of time and plan accordingly. Then, you will have a fridge and freezer filled with dishes that will reheat or can be assembled in no time at all.

Chapter 4’s Lunchbox Stuffers primarily consist of wraps, sandwiches, and salads, but there are also empanadas, spring rolls, and even a Veggie Sushi Bento Box. Chapter 5, Meals in 30 Minutes or Less, has the wonderful subtitle ‘Home-Cooked Meals for the Hangry’, people like me who sometimes (or maybe as a general rule) want dinner RIGHT NOW! Whether you crave a filling stew or chilli, a hefty burger, or your favorite comfort food, chances are you’ll find something here. Personally, I have been experimenting with exotic -read: beyond crumbles and lentils- taco fillings, so I am looking forward to testing the Sheet Pan Squash Tacos. If you’re a fan of the pressure cooker, try the Pressure Cooker Pesto Spaghetti Squash. Chapter 6 addresses Bulk Cooking, featuring an international potpourri of recipes, like kluski, pierogi, and Middle East-inspired dishes, and even a seitan roast made in the slow cooker.

My favorite chapter, though, is Chapter 7, Food on the Move, because it contains loads of things that can go on the grill. It is, after all, finally summer, even in Indiana! Because these recipes are quite portable (even if the caveat Some Assembly Required is given), these can go with you when you’re invited and not sure your host will be able to accommodate your dietary needs. There are quite a few dishes I’m itching to try, like the Cauliflower Curry Grill Packets with Yogurt Sauce, Campfire Banana Splits, and Beer Can Pulled Cabbage, which is why this book has been placed on my wishlist: I need my own copy!

In the final chapter, Chapter 8, you will get ideas on creating your own staples. Besides the usual suspects, tomato sauce, pesto, cheeze sauce, and mayo, you’ll also get some out-of-the-ordinary variations, like Berry Rhubarb Chia Jam (so psyched to find the far-too-neglected rhubarb here!) and Buckwheat Taco Meat. The latter found its way into my frying pan last night: it was easy to put together, smelled heavenly, and tasted quite good, although the buckwheat I have seems to have a peculiar flavor that doesn’t entirely go away even among all those spices. As I have noticed this in a buckwheat-based smoothie bowl before, I can honestly say it’s the grain, not the particular recipe, and results may vary. Still, I’m looking forward to taco night!

If my math is correct, you get a total of 107 recipes to keep you well fed and happy. The vast majority comes with a photo, so there is no guesswork as to what the final result might look like. Each recipe has a sub-heading with useful information, like ‘under ten ingredients’, ’30 minutes or less’, ‘gluten-free’, ‘soy-free’, etc. Most come with helpful notes at the end. Haters of “exotic” ingredients will love the fact that everything can be bought in a regular supermarket, at least here in Podunk, IN, with the exception of kala namak, which I found at the local Indian grocer without any fuss. And of course every recipe tells you how many servings you’ll end up with. What I really appreciate is the table of contents at the beginning of every chapter. As is common in vegan cooking, you will not find nutritional information for the dishes included.

“Vegan Yack Attack on the Go!” is published by Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press. I received a preview copy in exchange for a review via the publisher and Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

It is really good. Recipes are simple and easy to make. Instruction are easy to follow. definitely add to my list.

I've been dabbling in veganism and vegetarianism for a while now and finding books that have easy and delicious recipes is always a big plus for me. The title caught my eye because the hardest part about eating healthy and meet free is definitely when you're too busy to make something for a snack.

The book is full of beautiful photos which is another big plus for me - I abhor cooking books without photos (what is even the point??). The instructions are easy to follow and the recipes contain simple ingredients that I already use in my household (another thing I hate is when a recipe has you hunting for ingredients all around the store).

From smoothies to tacos and wraps - this book has something for everybody!

I am no where near a Vegan, as a matter of fact I am pretty far from being one. I do love my fruits and vegetables though. I honestly believe that you can find some of the best tasting fruit and vegetable recipes in vegan cookbooks.

As I was going through this book I found so many recipes I cannot wait to set on the table for my family. The book is broken down into sections. Breakfast, prep aheads, bulk and more. The best thing about these recipes are they are all quick recipes.

Some of my favorite recipes are: Fresh Fruit Yogurt Sundae, Grill and Chill salad, grilled eggplants pesto pita pockets, and hearty skillet cornbread to name a few.

Everyone should check out this delicious book.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

My review has been posted to Goodreads.

Review has also been tweeted as usual.

Thank you! :c)

The book where the recipes are divided by the grade of difficulty and every one of them has its own pictures are by far my favorite. So this one was a really great book in my opinion even if I didn't know some of the ingredients that were used.

I libri di ricette che le dividono sulla base della difficoltà e che prevedono per ogni piatto la foto dello stesso sono da sempre quelli che preferisco quindi questo si posiziona molto in alto nella mia top ten anche se è capitato che in alcun casi non conoscessi tutti gli ingredienti.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This book has so many recipes I want to try. Coconut BLT + P which is a blt with peaches, Loaded Avocado Lentil Toast, Kale Raspberry Grain Salad, Pineapple Teriyaki Burgers just to name a few. The pictures are beautiful, the recipes are clear and easy to follow. I would recommend this to antone interested in vegan cooking. I definitely will be using it regularly.

I received an ebook copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.
Although I'm not vegan, I'm always trying to add more vegetables to my diet, so I was excited to read this cookbook!
The pictures are great and make everything look appetizing. It's good to have nice full colour photos, especially when working with unfamiliar ingredients.
Definitely worth looking at if you'd like to try some vegan recipes

Every recipe looks delicious and I want to eat everything. Veganism is broken down into easy to understand information, nothing too overwhelming and no info dumps. This could be a fantastic book for those looking to eat more plant-based meals even if they don't wish to be totally vegan. Jackie focuses on not using too many ingredients, creating recipes that aren't too time consuming or complex, and most importantly making food that tastes good and is filling. So many vegan cookbooks are very samey and the food doesn't look very interesting or inviting.. This is not that kind of cookbook. The book is packed with bright, colour plates of food and simple instructions, ideal for all cooking abilities and tastes.
