Publisher's Synopsis
Eating vegan doesn't have to mean a lifetime of bland veggie burgers and boring salads-nor does it have to make every shared meal a source of stress. As all plant-based cooks know, when it comes time to please a crowd, the pressure is on. You want to serve delicious, memorable dishes, and you're also well-aware that many will be skeptical of vegan food measuring up to their favorites.
Nutritional guidelines are provided for infants, children, teens, and adults, including seniors; and a section is devoted on how to achieve and maintain healthy weights and exceptional fitness on a vegan diet. Numerous tables and graphs illustrate each section. A handy graphic of the vegan plate offers a daily plan for healthful eating. Equally beneficial are the sample menus designed for people of various caloric needs.
This cookbook starts by teaching you about common plant-based ingredients, essential kitchen tools, and cooking safety guidelines. Get more comfortable in the kitchen as you cook with tips and ideas to help you become a better chef. Plus, you'll keep it simple with the recipes in this cookbook―they use mostly easy-to-find, inexpensive ingredients.
The Vegan Cookbook For Beginners is filled with meals that will become your new favorites and go-to staples for when you have meat-eaters to impress. Because amazing food should be shared.
