Annotation

An essential guide to understanding what it means to be vegan, The Vegan Kitchen offers all the know-how you need for a plant-based diet. It is divided into three parts: the first part examines what it means to be vegan, the health benefits and risks and where to find essential fats, protein, vitamins and minerals in order to achieve a balanced diet; the second part looks at over 100 ingredients and these are divided into groups such as root vegetables, beans and pulses, nuts and seeds and leafy greens. Each ingredient is given it's own entry and vital nutritional and practical information is included. The final part is a collection of essential recipes for kitchen staples such as pastry, bread and vegan milks. This book embraces, celebrates and explains vegan ingredients to ensure a varied, colourful and balanced diet is achieved.
