It's here!!! My brand shiny new cookbook Fast Easy Cheap Vegan is finally here! Woot! I've been working on this book for almost two years now, and it feels so surreal (and great!!) to see it out in the world. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of these recipes and I am so eager to share these fast, easy, cheap vegan recipes with you!!
Oh, and get this: not only is it here but Fast Easy Cheap Vegan has been met with crazy success already! It's already a #1 Bestseller on Amazon.ca and is the #1 New Release on Amazon.com.. I mean, WOW!!! Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered and is showing such amazing support!!!
When I released my first cookbook Fuss-Free Vegan, it did well, very well actually. It is now in its 9th print and has well over 1,500 5-star reviews on Amazon. BUT it took time to get there. It did not connect right away and was not an instant smash hit. My first book grew in popularity over time as more and more people started exploring vegan cuisine, cooking from the book, sharing recipes, and... dare I say: loving it (yay)!
So I'm completely blown away by the fact that Fast Easy Cheap Vegan is connecting so quickly. Thank you to every one of you for your continued support and encouragement!! I can't wait to hear your feedback and to see all of your posts and pictures online when you try these recipes! Don't forget to tag me @itdoesnttastelikechicken and hashtag #FastEasyCheapVegan or #FECV so that I can find your photos and double-tap them 🙂
So, what can you expect from this book, you ask? Well, Fast Easy Cheap Vegan is jam-packed with 101 scrumptious vegan recipes. But it's so much more than that... Every recipe takes 30 minutes or less, requires 10 ingredients or less, and costs $10 dollars or less! Can it get better than that!?
With this book, it was my goal to bust ALL of those misconceptions. I wanted to show you how vegan food can actually be affordable, simple, and quick! And that's what I did. You won't believe how many delicious, hearty, drool-worthy dishes you can prepare at lightning speed, with only a few ingredients, and for cheap too!
Bon Appetegan,

I got both of your cookbooks, they have some great ideas. As a newbie, I need hand-holding.
For example the caramelized onion pasta looks yum, but I need some protein with it - suggestions for add-ons would be helpful to mix & match to jazz it up. Plus make it takes a dish and gives 3-4 more easy peasy options - pitch it as an "up-charge" to the under $10 recipe.
Throwing tofu in things scares me that I'll end up something mushy that ruins the dish. I haven't been able to master non-rubber seitan.
The only downside comment I have is the lack of nutritional mumbo-jumbo. I have to keep an eye the calories and fats - even plant based for saturated fats. I pack on the pounds a bit too easy these days.
Thank you for showing it can be easy-peasy and affordable to go vegan.

Pre ordered your book from amazon ages ago and they still don't have it in, it'll be worth the wait though

I hope it comes soon!

Sam...I've been a huge fan and email subscriber. Loved your "Fuss-Free Vegan" book so much I pre-ordered "Fast Easy Cheap," extra-motivated by the offer of several new recipes with a pre-order. I saved the email outlining that proposal and when I received my copy of "Fast Easy Cheap" a couple of days ago, went to the email to review how to cash in on the "incentive," only to find that the email somehow had changed and nowhere can I find instructions on how to retrieve what was promised. Hope this is just a huge oversight and that someone will forward me the information that was in that now-missing email. Thank you.

Sam, your new book is awesome! So eagerly awaited, and worth the wait. 😀
The photos are gorgeous, and make me just want to dive into the book, LOL. I've already made a couple of the spice blends, which went into the breakfast sandwiches (yum), and the minestrone (double yum)! Quick, easy, delicious, as promised.
Congratulations on the book's success, right out of the gate!
