Garbanzo. Cannellini. Fava. Calypso. Edamame. Adzuki. It's true: beans have the coolest names ever. But besides that, they're also one of nature's most perfect foods. Packed with protein, nutrients, and flavor, you might even call them a vegan's #1 best friend (don't worry, we won't tell the trail mix, veggies, or French fries ).

But with so much versatility and variety, where does one begin? Right inside these very pages, that's where. In "The Great Vegan Bean Book," author Kathy Hester primes you on everything you need to know about the best way to cook--and eat --every bean you've ever seen (and a few you probably haven't). From soaking times, to cooking times, to what to puree, to what to saute, you'll be dancing delicious circles around those legumes in no time.

Not only that, but you'll also get to try your hand--or is it your mouth?--at some of the tastiest, most innovative bean recipes in this lentil-filled land. From beanalicious burritos, to pretty-pea curry, to legume-laced blondies, you'll be partying protein-style, every meal of the day

Nuts, grains, vegetables, fruits and seeds all provide healthy fuel for the body and in combination, they make complete protein powerhouses that easily deliver this essential nutrient. Whether it is Multi-Layered Avocado Toast for breakfast, Acadian Black Beans and Rice for supper or No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies to satisfy a sweet tooth, Ginny Kay McMeans has a protein-packed option for everyone. High-Protein Vegan includes advice on how to build muscle and lose weight, information on the best foods to eat to achieve a strong, healthy body and recipes for DIY seitan. With more than 125 recipes, McMeans proves that vegans don't have to skimp on this important nutrient.

In Snacks for Dinner, Volger transforms carefree noshing into nourishing meals with recipes to inspire your own make-from-scratch snack spreads that are not only quick to makes, but also deeply satisfying. The perfect snack-y dinner revolves around 7 main components: Crispy-Crunchy: Savory Bites Tangy-Juicy: Pickles & Marinades Scooped and Smeared: Dips & Spreads Centerpiece-ish: A Little Heartier Small but Mighty: Spoon Salads & Soup Shots Vessels: Crackers, Breads, & Chips Sips-Sweets: Drinks & Desserts Volger shows how these flavorful components can be mixed and matched to create a palate-pleasing meal. Following Volger's guidance, you may start out with a few Smoky Glazed Pistachios for crunch and add some zesty Orange & Mustard Marinated Asparagus with a side of Honey Pickled Shallots. Craving something creamy? Try a Toasted Walnut and Feta Dip or Gingery Green Tahini with homemade Nut & Seed Crackers or crudites. The possibilities are endless. Best of all, many of these bites can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or pantry for easy assembly. With Volger's simple, wholesome, recipes and pairing guidance, snacks for dinner is no longer shameful-but a healthy, fun, and respectable choice.

This is a positive, authoritative look at the health questions that surround veganism so that you can get the most out of your plant-based diet.

Veganism is one of the fastest growing movements across the world, with 3.5 million people in the UK having cut out animal products completely. This diet, however, is not without its difficulties. As with any diet, when you change what you eat, you also have to change the way you eat and how you think about food. It is easy, in 2020, to fall down a rabbit hole of vegan fast food and beans on toast and end up deficient in iron, iodine, omega-3 fatty acids and calcium. On a vegan diet it can sometimes also be difficult to get enough high-quality proteins and even calories. Lack of these nutrients may lead to unwanted symptoms of feeling sluggish or low in energy, looking pale and suffering mood swings. Simply cutting out meat and eating more veg doesn't guarantee a healthy diet. With this book as your companion, you can remedy these pitfalls so that you feel healthy and bursting with energy and vitality.

This is the simple, flexible and nutritionally approved way to make it easier to stick to a vegan diet without compromising on health.

'Evergreen' symbolizes something that will last for years and never goes out of fashion. More and more people are focusing on eating green in their daily lives and Mikkel introduces vegetable recipes to inspire. What makes vegetables exciting is that they really change character and taste according to the seasons. In summer a carrot should be pulled from the ground, lightly rinsed and eaten as it is - completely spicy, tender, crisp and juicy. While in late Autumn, when it has been in the ground for a long while enduring weather and wind, and has become big, coarse but sweet in taste, it should be used in a delicious soup, pur e or baked to enhance the wonderful sweetness it has developed. Photographed by Anders Schoennemann as the seasons have move on and new vegetables become ready to harvest, the daylight changes as the long, bright summer evenings became clear autumn days. They enjoyed the most beautiful sunrises, the tranquility of frosty ice-cold mornings, and often the day's first meal was cooked over fire. Mikkel has managed to make easy, tasty and beautiful vegetable dishes that will make the most carnivorous to appreciate a green meal.

One of the best-kept secrets of Japanese cuisine is a range of side dishes known as tsukemono ( , ). The word, pronounced 'tskay-moh-noh,' means 'something that has been steeped or marinated' (tsuke-steeped; mono-things). Although tsukemono are usually made from vegetables, some fruits, flowers, and a few rhizomes are also preserved this way; it is, therefore, more accurate to characterize them as 'pickled foods.' Their preparation makes use of one or more conservation techniques, involving ingredients such as salt, sugar, vinegar, alcohol, and herbs, in combination with methods including dehydration, marinating in salt and acidic liquids, fermentation, and curing. The process of making tsukemono amounts to more than just a simple way of preserving otherwise perishable fresh produce. Apart from its nutritional value, the dish stimulates the appetite, provides delicious taste sensations, and improves digestion, all while remaining an elegant study in simplicity and esthetic presentation. This book goes well beyond explaining the secrets of making crisp tsukemono. The authors discuss the cultural history and traditions associated with these pickled foods; provide recipes and outline techniques for preparing them at home with local ingredients; describe the healthful benefits and basic nutritional value to be found in the various types of pickles; and show how easy it is to serve them on a daily basis to stimulate the appetite or as condiments to accompany vegetable, fish, and meat dishes. The goal is to encourage the readers of this book to join us in a small culinary adventure that will allow us to expand and diversify our consumption of plant-based foods, which are so vital to our overall well-being. And along the way, there may be a few surprises.
