Vegan Everyday by Douglas McNish
Vegan Everyday: Wonderful for Vegans, Vegetarians, and Everyone Else!
When I received my review copy of Vegan Everyday, the author had me hooked from the start.  I must have stared at the Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas Tacos  on the cover for a couple of minutes. As the seconds ticked by, I just kept thinking…. could this look any more delicious? If all vegan meals were like this, why’d we need to eat anything else?!

Then the author, Doublas McNish, went on to fill an entire cookbook with similarly delicious vegan recipes. 500 to be exact.

The delicious recipes in Vegan Everyday aren’t just “doable,” they’re off the charts creative and fun.   They reflect the chef’s complex palate and experience, yet somehow remain very simple to create.

While the book is, obviously, a dream come true for vegans, you most certainly do not have to be a vegan to appreciate this book. That’s one of the things I love most about it. Vegan Everyday serves as the ideal way to incorporate healthier meals into your meal rotation. You’ll discover a whole new world of flavors and possibilities while widening your culinary horizons.

Author Douglas McNish starts with “Vegan Basics” featuring 20 recipes for dishes most popular in vegan cuisine like Whipped Non-Dairy Butter, Mayonnaise, Curry Paste, Vegetable Stock and pie crust.

Vegan Everyday is perfect for experienced cooks, new cooks, busy families, college students, vegans, vegetarians, meat eaters AND those of us who have to eat gluten free, as many recipes are naturally gluten free – with the rest being easy to modify.

The cookbook is clear and concise, very easy to read, and includes many beautiful, full-page, colorful pictures. I love the “lead in” paragraph at the top of each recipe as well as the tips on the side.  These touches always feel like the recipe creator is right there with you, sharing their information with you.

I know you’ll love this beautiful cookbook as much as I do. See Vegan Everyday (Amazon link) for more information.
