The Everything Easy Vegan Cookbook: 200 Quick and Easy Recipes for a Healthy, Plant-Based Diet

The Everything Easy Vegan Cookbook by Adams Media 200 Quick and Easy Recipes for a Healthy Plant-Based Diet Tasty easy to create meals that include easy to find ingredients most places in the world. I will have trouble finding some of the ingredients in my small village on a hilltop in Lebanon BUT I enjoyed reading the recipes and thinking about how I could adapt them to the ingredients I can find locally. AND that is possible because I saw “flavor profiles” for dishes you might find on a restaurant menu and seeing how the recipe was most likely adapted to use vegan ingredients to achieve a similar flavor and texture. The more I read, the more I wanted to start cooking. Each recipe included nutritional information and that is essential to many cooks who are interested in providing a healthy diet for those they love. The Contents of the book: * Introduction * Vegan Revolution: what, why, nutrition, advantages, how to switch * Appetizers, sauces, and dips * Breakfast * Salads and salad dressings * Soups * Vegetables, stir-fries, and sides * Rice and grains * Classic pastas * Miscellaneous Mains * Tofu * Seitan and tempeh * Delicious desserts * Standard/Metric Conversions * Index In this “Everything” series you will find colored boxes in GREEN: for questions, BLUE: for facts, RED: for Alerts, and YELLOW-ORANGE: for essential information. What I liked: * Most ingredients are found where I live * The variety of recipes * The nutritional information * That I can see myself eating the recipes if I made them * That many recipes are similar to what I make already What I might suggest: * More photos * A chart with seasonings for various ethnic areas that could be used to create in the home * How to substituted vegan proteins in non-vegan recipes Did I like this cookbook?
