Make any recipe vegan or vegetarian to suit your preference
Plant-based cooking means different things to different people. We all
come to plant-based eating with different goals in mind. ATK's diverse,
modern guide offers foolproof recipes for every occasion that you can
tailor to suit your own needs, choosing whether to make any dish vegan
or vegetarian. From building a plant-centric plate to cooking with
plant-based meat and dairy, you'll find everything you need here to
create varied, satisfying meals.
The 500-plus recipes are vegan but flexible. You can choose whether to
make the Rancheros with Avocado with tofu or eggs, the Farro Salad with
Cucumber, Yogurt, and Mint with plant-based or dairy yogurt, the
Vegetable Fried Rice with Broccoli and Shiitake Mushrooms with or
without eggs, and the No-Bake Cherry-Almond Crisp using coconut oil or
butter.
ATK's plant-based eating strategy is easy, budget-friendly, and
inclusive--cuisines around the world are rich with boldly flavored,
naturally vegan dishes. Drawing inspiration from them, these recipes
showcase produce, beans and grains, and vegan (and vegetarian) protein
sources.
The Complete Plant-Based Cookbook is packed with ingenious tips for
cooking with plant-forward ingredients and also showcases ATK's
practical techniques. Rethink how you use vegetables (blend leeks into a
silky pasta sauce, use beets to transform a burger from the "vegan
option" into the best option); discover how to boost umami flavor using
tomato paste, dried mushrooms, and miso; and more. A thorough opening
section delves into the details of modern plant-based eating, addressing
shopping and storage strategies, the plethora of plant-based meat and
dairy options, and how to meet nutritional needs.
