The UK’s leading vegan charity Viva! has launched Everyone Can Cook Vegan, a pioneering cookbook with over 100 recipes that can be created by anyone – no matter their culinary skillset.
Crafted by Vegan Recipe Club’s Maryanne Hall, a plant-based chef with a rich culinary background including experience in vegan restaurants, prestigious ski chalets, yoga retreats and a notable tenure at Demuths Cookery School, this publication showcases a diverse selection of gastronomic creations. From tried-and-tested classics such as Chilli Non Carne, Mac & Cheese, Moussaka, Broccoli & Tomato Quiche and Vegan Chicken Tikka Masala to protein-rich dishes such as Spinach & Vegan Ricotta Cannelloni, Tofu Katsu Curry and Spicy Protein Burritos, each recipe has been meticulously crafted from the Viva! headquarters.
As well as an abundance of dinnertime delights, the book also includes healthy and indulgent breakfast options like Vanilla & Almond Chia Pudding and a very unique Easy Vegan Fried Eggs recipe! You’ll find secret specials such as Prosecco Fondue, Pan-Fried Broccoli with Almond Purée and Truffle Fries with Vegan Parmesan & Lime Dip. Discover sauces, sides, snacks and indulgent desserts that challenge the misconception that vegan cooking is bland. The recipes are designed for everyone, encouraging people to get into the kitchen and start cooking.
The book includes full colour photography throughout, allowing readers to ‘eat with their eyes’.
With the festive period approaching, Everyone Can Cook Vegan is the perfect gift for vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians or anyone looking to develop their plant-based culinary skills.
Maryanne Hall said: “I wanted every recipe in this cookbook to be accessible, straightforward and delicious, using readily available ingredients, with clear instructions for both novice and experienced cooks alike. Drawing inspiration from my global travels, certain recipes exude an international flair, exemplified by dishes such as the Gambian Stew and Balinese Chickpea & Mango Curry. Of course, I’ve also included a generous selection of beloved classics. One recurring challenge I hear from those considering a vegan lifestyle is a lack of cooking ideas. Everyone Can Cook Vegan simplifies plant-based cuisine, offering inspiration, valuable tips and serving suggestions throughout. The creation of this cookbook was a true labour of love and I hope to inspire others to enjoy cooking and eating vegan food as much as I do.”
Everyone Can Cook Vegan is available for purchase via the Viva! Shop now.
