Over 520 vegan and sugar-free recipes with a full colour photograph of every recipe. This comprehensive edition contains all possible meals: breakfasts, spreads, lunches and tapas, soups, dinners, tofu and tempeh recipes, patties and sausages, one pot meals, home-made pasta, savoury baking (bread making, galettes, pizzas, muffins, biscuits), sweet baking, desserts, snacks (sweet and savoury) and drinks (hot and cold). Various cooking and preparation techniques are explained and dishes come from a large range of ethnic influences. The beautifully presented and elegant dishes are also easy to prepare as daily meals for one’s family. Suggestions are given for substituting ingredients to make the best of what is in season and to suit the average pantry.
Most recipes come with Cook’s tips giving both culinary instructions and ideas for accompanying sauces, side dishes or desserts to complement the theme of the meal or to maximize its nutrient value. The recipes were constructed from scratch, as well as modifying a few well-known favourites using meat and dairy substitutions. The extensive baking and desserts section describes in depth which sweeteners, nut milks, nut creams and egg replacers to use in what type of baking, with additional hints for interchanging ingredients. The sweet baking (tea breads, cakes, tarts, ‘cheesecakes’, biscuits, energy bars), ‘ice-creams’ and dessert sections also contain extensive nutritional value information. The print version of the book received a Gold Medal at the Living Now Book Awards in 2011 in New York.
