What it does
Angela Liddon's second vegan cookbook, with more than 100 quick whole foods recipes for weeknight meals, snacks and desserts.
- Chapters for smoothies, breakfast, snacks, salads, sides and soups, entrees, cookies and bars, desserts and homemade staples
- Allergy and dietary notes at the top of each recipe, with swap suggestions
- Tips on making recipes kid, allergy and freezer friendly, per the publisher
- A long pantry guide on ingredients and storage, plus a kitchen toolkit section
- A photo with nearly every recipe
A good pick for home cooks who want approachable plant based recipes with simple supermarket ingredients and clear allergy notes. The trade-off is that fans of her first book may find some recipes familiar, and some readers wanted more main dishes and fewer desserts and smoothies.
