Does anyone know where I can get access to some of the recipes from veganomicon online?!
The reason I'm asking is I've heard these being talked about all over the internet and I'm absolutely dying to try these recipes, but I live in New Zealand and I'm poor; I can't afford to have the book sent over from the US and it's not available to buy over here.
I would be greatly appreciative to anyone who could help me out with this!! =)
Answers: In particular, the chickpea cutlets, black bean burgers, and brownies.

Chickpea Cutlets
1 cup cooked chickpeas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, pressed or grated with a Microplane grater
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
Olive oil for pan frying
In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas together with the oil until no chickpeas are left. Add the remaining ingredients and knead together for about 3 minutes, until strings of gluten have formed.
Preheat a large heavy-bottomed nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, divide the cutlet dough into 4 equal pieces. To form cutlets, knead each piece in your hand for a few moments and then flatten and stretch each one into a roughly 6 by 4 inch rectangular cutlet shape. The easiest way to do this is to form a rectangle shape in your hands and then place the cutlets on a clean surface to flatten and stretch them.
Add a moderately thin layer of olive oil to the bottom of the pan. Place the cutlets in the pan and cook on each side for 6 to 7 minutes. Add more oil, if needed, when you flip the cutlets. They’re ready when lightly browned and firm to the touch.
I'll trade you...give me advice on my printer and i'll tell you that several of veganomicoms recipies were already given out over the airwaves as Isa is the host of a radio show called the "post punk kitchen" you can go to that site and read several recipies, she has other books out that may perhaps be in New Zeland, where is that anyway? But one of the other books is Vegan with a Vengance. There are a million and a half exelent vegan recipies online, do not think that she is the only remarkable vegan chef, I know some carnivorous chefs who take an interest in foods and lifestyles other than their own.:)
