Chloe's Kitchen: 125 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Making the Food You Love the Vegan Way
By Chloe Coscarelli, Neal D. Barnard

Avocado Pesto Pasta : page 125
This pasta is delicious and so fast and easy to make. You can be done by the time the linguine boils. There are only a handful of ingredients. She recommends fresh or sun-dried tomatoes for garnish, I always use sun-dried. This makes a huge bowl that I eat for days. If you check YouTube, there is a video of Chloe making this.

Chocolate Walnut Fudge : page 219
I made these to take to work. I only have one vegan co-worker, but these were so popular I was asked to make them again. They are super easy to make, and there are no ingredients you'll have to go out of your way to find (you can get canned coconut milk in the Asian section of your grocery.) As the other reviewer said, you can cut the pieces on the small side. The fudge is crazy rich.

I cheated a bit and bought store-made pizza dough, instead of electing to use Chloe's optional recipe. This recipe is a bit unusual in that you cook the pizzas on the stovetop in a griddle pan which (oops) I don't have (I have GOT to start reading recipes more closely before I start cooking.) They seemed to cook fine in a skillet though.
My guests loved the pizza, and so did I. It sat really heavy in my stomach though. I might try to reduce the oil in the pesto if I make these again. This recipe has numerous components and the pizzas have to be cooked one at a time (although I guess you could have multiple skillets going), so budget yourself 2-2.5 hours for this.
