Practically vegan More than 100 easy, delicious vegan dinners on a budget
Book - 2022
"A certified dietitian and nutritionist, Melvani offers a non-militant approach for those wanting to eat less meat but also solid, tested recipes for those who are already vegan. Plant-based cooking will no longer feel intimidating with limited, easy-to-find ingredients that you will use in the kitchen over and over again. Inspired by the flavors she was introduced to while growing up in Jamaica, England, and Canada, Melvani shares over 100 delicious recipes, including Creamy One-Pot Cheesy Broccoli Pasta Soup, Cauliflower Sweet Potato Curry, Sesame Noodle Veggie Stir-Fry, Mushroom Bourguignon, and more, all accompanied by her own beautiful photography and a foreword by bestselling author Jonathan Safran Foer who urged Melvani to write... this cookbook after feeding his family her recipes. With easy-to-follow directions and handy sidebars offering substitutions and culinary tips and tricks, Practically Vegan will be the helping hand you need to prepare a vegan dinner for yourself or your family with confidence"--
