'BRAVE, BOLD COOKING THAT PUTS WHOLE VEGETABLES AT THE CENTRE OF
YOUR PLATE. I WANT TO COOK (AND EAT) IT ALL.' - ANNA JONES More
than 100 everyday, plant-based recipes, including several with QR
links to online videos. Each recipe in Vegan Love has a veggie as
the star, treated as you would meat or fish - so slow-cooked,
baked, roasted, pan-fried or grilled. Each one also consists of the
same 4 components: a big veggie (the main) + a protein side (a
pulse or grain) + a sauce or cream or dressing + a topping (herbs
and crunch) Many can be cooked in 30 minutes, none use
less-than-healthy vegan substitutes and all elevate veggies to the
next level, showing how simple and tasty they can be. Several are
also accompanied by QR codes for online tutorials.
