Robin Robertson's Vegan Without Borders: Easy Everyday Meals from Around the World

This is a wonderfully simple and delicious collection of interesting recipes. For background information, I have been a vegetarian for almost 40 years and vegan for the past 2 years. I'm also unable to resist a new vegan cookbook as I am constantly in search of new recipes. My vegetarian cookbook collection is extensive and well used. So the last thing I needed was another cookbook.However, I couldn't resist this intriguing book and I ordered it in a moment of weakness. I'm so glad I did. So far I've owned the book for two weeks and I've made these recipes: Trofie alla Pesto with Green Beans and Potatoes, Portuguese Kale Soup, Baklava Bites, White Bean Goulash, Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Walnuts, Black Bean and Butternut Tortilla Bake, Brazilian Feijoada, Chickpea and Kale Wat, Coconut Spinach and Lentil Dal, Szechuan Bok Choy, and Thai Hangover Noodles with Tofu and Thai Basil. Every recipe has been delicious and easy to make, yet the flavors have been complex. I have made some changes in order to adapt some recipes to make in my new Instant Pot.Recipes are organized according to country of origin, which makes meal planning simple. I like the fact that this book doesn't rely on "fake" or processed ingredients. Robertson does use vegan sour cream in some recipes, but I made my own cashew sour cream using a recipe from Oh She Glows. I have at least another dozen recipes bookmarked to make in the next week and eventually I'll probably make 90% of the recipes in the book.I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a great new vegan cookbook. (FYI - my other favorite vegan cookbook is Isa Does It.)

This is a beautiful book with lovely pictures. It is organized according to continent/country. For each country, Robin Robertson has provided a selection of breads and/or salads, soups, then some side dishes, entrees, desserts, etc. The recipes are nicely presented in a clear, clean format. I would prefer that the font size be slightly larger or bolder as the glossy paper can make it a little more difficult to read (with my aging eyes) as the glare of light reflects off the page. Since I have accumulated many vegan cookbooks, I find I go through periods where I use two or three of them exclusively and then I shift to another two or three. So far, I have made one recipe from this book, the Sesame-Spinach Donburi, which turned out very well. I have a very long list of recipes I want to try--36 to be exact, which I made shortly after receiving the book, so there is a lot to look forward to here.

The book arrived on time, and was in a good enough clean condition to give as a gift.I would purchase from this company again.

Robin Robertson's cookbooks are wonderful and this one is no exception. The recipes are very tasty and easy to make. The Kindle edition of the book is laid out well (unlike some others I've seen). It is similar to her earlier "Vegan Fire & Spice" but has very few recipe duplications. The ones that are duplicated have been updated to include less oil. This is an excellent way to sample cuisines from around the world.

Vegan without Borders is filled with great ideas, worthy of the book title. I have already tried a couple recipes, and many more to come. Even if you are not a vegan, this book has recipes that will fit into any style of diet. Very well done. Thank you

I make recipes from this book at least once a week, but most of the time more than that. I absolutely love every recipe I have tried from this book.

The best Vegan Recipes I have ever tried. My husband didn't know that he was eating plant based food. He enjoyed everything as well as I. Very happy with this cookbook!

I haven't cooked with this book yet, but there are a number of recipes I want to try. Robin Robertson is my favorite vegan author, and with this book I feel she adds some extra touches. So while I can't say her book is delicious, I believe it very well could be. And this book has beautiful pictures in it that make you think of making the dish. And she has recipes from different places in the world.

Excellent service, on time, excellent quality, great book

Enorme decepción. Tengo dos libros más de la autora y están repletos de ideas que me parecían interesantes para cocina del día a día por su practicidad, por el hecho de disfrutar en en casa de platos simples y rápidos al alcance de la clase obrera sin ingredientes caros ni difíciles de conseguir pero aun así platos "especiales". Pensé que sería genial ver lo que hacía con recetas del mundo utilizando técnicas de la cocina vegana. Grrrave error. El libro es aburridísimo. Me imaginaba que no tendría muchas fotos porque los libros de esta autora suelen ser así, sin imágenes, pero aún así muy interesantes por lo que ella aporta (temas de sustitución de ingredientes, practicidad). Pero aquí no aporta nada nuevo. Recogió unas cuantas recetas de varias regiones del mundo, las más conocidas, las que todes conocemos, las vistas y revistas en cualquier otro libro y las hizo de la manera menos creativa y más aburrida del mundo. Ni autenticidad apegada a la tradición en las recetas (cosa que estaba dispuesta a sacrificar), ni creatividad al veganizarlas (donde tenía puestas mis esperanzas) ni genialidad y practicidad en las técnicas (el punto fuerte de la autora) ni variedad (algo imperdonable en un libro de cocina del mundo). Encima el tema without borders nada que ver porque se limita mucho a solo unos cuantos países.
