“If you thought vegan food was brown and bland, think again.”
Check out V is for Vegan
ABOUT THE BOOK
V is for Vegan contains easy recipes that combat the stereotypical, dull image of vegan food that makes so many people fearful of taking the vegan plunge.
MY OVERALL IMPRESSION
This book has a bright and colorful cover that just screams “open me!” I also love how the first section of the book has recipes for flavorful basics like rosemary salt and vegetable stock, showing skeptics that we can pack flavor into everything we eat. The “basics” don’t have to be void of taste. It’s all about herbs, spices and using veggies the right way.
WHAT SETS THIS BOOK APART
The layout and design is just as fun as the recipes. I like how many of the pages inside have a brightly colored background.
RECIPE DIFFICULTY LEVEL
Easy – Medium
FOCUS/MAIN TYPES OF DISHES
