About this eBook

“Nothing short of brilliant! This isn’t just a beautiful vegan cookbook; it’s a resource guide that will help you excuse-proof your diet.” —Angela Liddon, author of The Oh She Glows Cookbook
 
Can’t imagine living without cheese? Convinced that dairy-free baked goods just don’t cut it? Hate the taste of tofu and not a fan of salads? EXCUSES, BE GONE!

Blogger-author extraordinaire Kristy Turner deliciously refutes every excuse you’ve ever heard with 125 vegan recipes for every meal of the day—including dessert!
 

• “All those special ingredients are way more expensive.” Not when you can make your own Homemade Seitan, Barbecue Sauce, Zesty Ranch Dressing, and Tofu Sour Cream.

• “I could never give up cheese!” You won’t miss it at all with Tempeh Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese with Pecan Parmesan, Tofu Chèvre, Citrus-Herb Roasted Beets with Macadamia Ricotta, or Mushroom Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.

• “What about brunch?” Chickpea Scramble Breakfast Tacos, Lemon Cornmeal Waffles with Blueberry Sauce, and Caramel Apple-Stuffed French Toast are vegan breakfasts of champions!

• “My friends won’t want to come over for dinner.” They will when they get a taste of Carrot Cashew Pâté, Portobello Carpaccio, and Gnocchi alla Vodka.

• “But I scream for ice cream!” Then you’ll shriek over Dark Chocolate Sorbet, Mango Lassi Ice Cream, and from-scratch Oatmeal Raisin Ice Cream Sandwiches.

If you’re a vegan newbie, vegetarian, or veg-curious omnivore, this book will banish your doubts. Even vegan pros will discover new tricks! Colorful photographs throughout will have you salivating over Kristy’s inventive, easy-to-follow recipes.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent read. I so love this book, being new to the vegan world the author makes you fall in love with this healthy lifestyle.

Recipes are easy to follow and very tasty.

I have the hard copy, and it was well worth the buy. Everything is delicious and even pretty entertaining.
