Skyhorse The Plant-Based Cookbook: Vegan, Gluten-Free, Oil-Free Recipes for Lifelong Health

Lot of easy to make meals. In depth information. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful cookbook. Ashley is a great writer and every single recipe contains some kind of special insight. The nutrition level of the recipes are higher than any other cookbook I have and for the most part these recipes are quite simple to make. Here's what I've made so far and I will update as I make more:1. Blueberry, Banana & Chia Muffins: So easy and they are the perfect muffin for breakfast or for afternoon coffee or tea. Wrap them individually in saran wrap and keep them in the freezer to make them last.2. Warming Carrot & Tomato Soup: Another easy dish but when I want tomato soup I think of the childhood favorite and this recipe contains cumin, cinnamon, fresh ginger and even though it is delicious, I would make it next time without those spices. However, it makes quite a base for a vegan chili so it did not go to waste!3. Bacon-ish Bits: These are worth the price of admission. They go well sprinkled on soups, salads and eating out of hand (although beware you can't eat just one).4. Tahini Caesar with Quick-Smoked Chickpeas & Baconish-Bits Oh, this salad dressing is so easy and so delish. The Quick-Smoked Chickpeas are so much easier to make than they sound; trust me and make them!5. The Parmesans: I made the Classic Almond Parmesan and it's great on pretty much everything.So if you are looking for oil-free, sugar free, highly nutritious recipes, this is the cookbook for you.

I've made severa of the recipes and they have been very good.

Wow what a fabulous plant based book. So many yummy things & very inspiring

I am plant based and love to try to inspire others to do the same, however no one has ever become plant based because of me :) . But this cookbook has even inspired hard sells to adopt a plant based diet …that’s how good the food is.My whole winter has become centered around these meals. They are plant based and Whole Foods but so rich and satisfying that I will stay up late just to keep eating!I have been whole foods based for quite some time but these recipes are really combatting the burnout I was having from making the same things- and helping me to get extra calories, healthy fats and nutrients that my body needs.There is a learning curve but after a while I have learned a few recipes intuitively by heart, that I adopted for the instantpot. So now I can throw everything in the pot without looking at the book and basically have a killer meal in 10-20mins. I find it’s easy to sub out different veggies , too, to make them more versatile .The thing I love about eating the way I do (and the way this book promotes), is that it’s so easy on the gut (I have Sibo ibs and this is the only diet that works for me ), I can eat as much as I want (which is necessary in winter! Let’s stop abusing our bodies with calorie restriction!) and not feel heavy or bloated, and if I do gain weight it’s a healthy looking weight - my skin looks good and people have complimented me on my glow.Even if you are a die hard meat lover, give it a try! You may end up incorporating the Tofu lasagna into your week…, or if you are like me, you may end up eating it every day!
