A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"[Moskowitz] begins with information on vegan nutrition and shares ­under-400-calorie recipes that are packed with flavor. Those new to a low-fat vegan diet may be surprised by satisfying meals such as OMG Oven-Baked Onion Rings, Chipotle Lentil Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries, Mac & Trees (macaroni, cheese, and broccoli), and Chili Verde con Papas. Best-selling author Moskowitz is sure to create demand."―Library Journal


"This is a vegan diet book, but forget your preconceptions and look at the food. Isa is an amazing cook-her recipes are delicious and written for people who want to lose weight, but not their enjoyment of food. She uses spices cleverly to make you forget you're eating low fat and ups the grain and veg content to keep you satisfied. Isa reworks favorites making them lighter and healthier. Her book is worth buying for the salad dressings alone."―BBC Good Food (UK)

"[A] great read!...Moskowitz-a tireless crusader against the perception that meatless, dairy-free meals taste like cardboard-proves low-fat can be delicious. While offering plenty of tips for novice vegans, Moskowitz's recipes are interesting and flavorful enough to delight seasoned meatless mavens, too."
―Natural Health

"Surprisingly creamy and hearty, this vegan soup [Cauliflower Pesto Soup] is elegant enough to serve as a first course at any dinner party."
―Washington Post


"Moskowitz has singlehandedly revolutionized vegan cooking...Appetite is brimming not only with recipes, but also detailed nutritional information useful to everyone, but especially important to those who seek essential vitamins and nutrients from nontraditional (non-animal) sources. But if you're worried about typical bland diet food, have no fear: This is an Isa Chandra Moskowitz cookbook after all. While all recipes are between 200 and 400 calories per serving, each is loaded with delicious, vibrant flavor."
―San Francisco Book Review


"A snappy cookbook that embraces whole plant foods without a sugary snack in sight. Those avoiding gluten or soy will appreciate the numerous gluten-free and soy-free recipes, and everyone is sure to learn something from the preparation and nutrition tips [Moskowitz] sprinkles throughout the book. Best of all, her recipes for goodies such as OMG Oven-Banked Onion Rings, Tamarind BBQ Tempeh & Sweet Potatoes, and Chipotle Lentil Burgers will make even dedicated carnivores appreciate the pleasures of plant-based meals."
―Portland Press Herald

"Moskowitz is a proven advisor you want to have in the vegan kitchen with you, consistently creating recipes that are at once accessible to the home cook and impressive enough to show off to those you want to, well, impress. Appetite for Reduction...will knock your socks off, just in time for a great Christmas gift for omnivores or vegans alike and strengthen some of those New Year's resolutions...Easy-to-follow directions, well-organized chapters, [and] gorgeous art direction and helpful tips...The icons that designate quick-to-prepare, gluten- and soy-free recipes make this cookbook especially user-friendly...Appetite for Reduction casts its culinary net wide...The recipes span the globe and include rare treats calorie-conscious diners usually don't get to enjoy...Appetite for Reduction gives lots of creative, easy and tasty opportunities to eat healthfully...A very worthwhile edition to anyone's cookbook collection."
―Examiner.com

"Moskowitz is one of the most-prolific and readable vegan cookbook authors out there. She co-authored Veganomicon, which is practically the Bible for newbie vegan cooks, and her other titles have shown how vegan cookies, cupcakes and breakfast treats can be decadent and rich."
―Portland Oregonian


"Shows that healthy cooking can be lively and varied...Any vegan cook needs this inspiring, unique title."
―Midwest Book Review


"If you're not vegan, but simply don't like meat very much, you'll find many tasty recipes here."
―Hudson Valley News
