Review: Great book to start a plant based journey; a foundational book for a vegan cookbook collection - Almost all of these recipes are easy and quick to make. Yes, there is an element of "basic" here but I honestly think this is the perfect book to give to someone who is just starting out on a plant based journey. It's a great book to bridge that gap. She uses regular ingredients you can get at a regular grocery store and givea great tips for saving money. I often make "whatever" I have on hand, and sometimes I just thumb through this book for ideas or ratios and invent my own meals, based loosely on her recipes. It's a great "starting out" book. Not all the receipes are especially "healthful" but I feel like she offers alternative ideas if you want to substitute stuff. This an excellent book. Especially if you're new to plant based eating and it feels overwhelming. I often find with vegan cookbooks that they call for ingredients I need to hit a specialty store for or the recipes are difficult to make with a million steps. Her recipes are simple and easy and affordable. I highly recommend this book.
Review: Yummy, accessible and easy - I've been a fan of Toni's for a long time and own her first Plant Based on a Budget cookbook as well as the Friendly Vegan. While I will gladly spend a leisurely weekend after in the kitchen making complicated meals for fun, most days I am too busy for those kinds of recipes, yet do not want to sacrifice on health or flavor. Therefore, I was elated when I saw she was coming out with a new book focused on just this. When my preordered copy arrived, I was already able to make the following recipes with ingredients I had on hand: - hummus pizza (used her hummus and dough recipe from her second book and added things on top that I needed to use up from the fridge) - calabacitas - balsamic vinaigrette (love the use of garlic powder for ease) - banana and strawberry banana nice cream - chocolate banana (my fav), apple walnut, blueberry chia, PB and J and pumpkin overnight oats - sopa de fideos - blueberry bread (too sweet and rich for my palate, but family loooved it) - arroz con leche Pros: - easily attainable ingredients, many of which I already have on hand - the biscuit recipe I desired in the Friendly Vegan :) - no fake cheese or meat analogs necessary - beautiful pics for every recipe - only a few repeats from previous books, but even these are done differently - great mix of everything from bfast to mains to dessert - I love that she tested and almost every recipe is freezer friendly - The "fried" tofu is worth the cost of the book alone. Cons: - not actually a con, but if you do like to make *everything* from scratch I recommend getting her Plant Based on a Budget cookbook as well (see my pizza review above) - I wish the baking recipes had weights in addition to volumes; also wish there was a little more info (eg what is considered a "standard" loaf pan - I used 9x5, which was clearly too large) One of the negative reviews commented on the use of vegan butter (a total of 10 recipes), white flour (I think you could sub whole wheat for most of these) and sugar. Yes, there are a few recipes that include these ingredients but the majority have no sugar, many are naturally gluten-free and most have oil-free options. Of note, I almost always require more salt than what she recommends. E.g. I think a pound of dried beans needs at least 1.5 tsp salt, and ideally 2, to be delicious and that overnight oats benefit from at least a small pinch. This is not really a con, just something novice cooks should learn to adjust for their own tastes for her cookbooks and every other! I can't wait to try more and to update as I do. Updates: - I've made almost 40 recipes and they have all been quick, cheap and tasty, as advertised. - I served a group of 13 non-vegans her nachos (using Gena Hamshaw cheese sauce from the Vegan Week) and tot casserole, as well as her vanilla frosting (on a cake from Sam Turnbull), and they were all big hits. People kept asking if the casserole had eggs, even though they know me better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for beginners!
*by S***R on February 3, 2024*

This book is great for anyone new to plant-based diet or trying to slowly transition to it. The recipes are flavorful, easy and quick, and budget friendly. Most recipes do not have lengthy ingredients and many you probably already have on hand or aren't hard to find. Many of them you can fix on Sunday and have to eat on thru Friday. The book is laid out well and the full color pictures are nice. A lot are recipes that people can use for meatless options for those wanting to eat healthier but not ready for a full plant-based diet. She gives options that you can add or change to your liking. I've not tried the tofu recipes yet but they look good. There is a great selection of breakfast, lunch, dinners, snacks, and desserts. There is also some useful information for the plant-based diet. There is a 7-day meal plan including a grocery list which is great. This book is great for beginners to this diet and those just wanting to eat healthier.
