The Supermarket Vegan: Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Recipes for Real People in the Real World

by Donna Klein

Perigee Trade Paperback Original
January 5, 2010
$18.95

Next month many of us will make a very popular and wise New Year resolution: to eat healthier. Just in time to help get people on the right track, this cookbook provides more than 225 original recipes that use simple ingredients and requires just a short trip to the local grocery store.

The health-conscious trend in society is gaining momentum as more turn towards improving their diet and lifestyle. Many tend to think that cooking vegan for a family is complicated and requires multiple trips to specialty stores. Klein disproves this belief as most of her recipes can be prepared well under an hour and burst with so much variety, color and flavor—you’ll never want to cook meat again!

Klein makes eating vegan uncomplicated and delicious, with recipes from appetizers to desserts, including:

• Butternut Squash and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

• Tuscan-Style Chickpea and Spinach Salad with Artichokes and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

• Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burgers with Black Bean Guacamole Sauce

• Quick Pasta Puttanesca

• Orange-Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes

• Baked Beans and Macaroni Casserole with Crunchy Fried Onions

• Jamaican-Style Sweet Potato Casserole with Banana and Coconut

• Raspberry Pinwheels with Lemon Sorbet

• Pumpkin Studel

• Apple-Pumpkin Gratin

I received a copy of this book. The recipes are all in easy to understand English. The print is a good size. What I really like about the book is that each of the recipes also include suggestions for variations. What I’m not crazy about is the photos in the book- there are none.

This title will be released on January 5, 2010.

WIN IT!

ONE winner will receive their own copy of the book The Supermarket Vegan.
