Power Plates: 100 Nutritionally Balanced, One-Dish Vegan Meals

Focused on the art of crafting complete, balanced meals that deliver sustained energy and nourishment, this book features 100 compelling and delicious recipes that just happen to be vegan.

These 100 recipes for wholesome and nourishing vegan food from blogger, nutritionist, and Food52 author Gena Hamshaw help you make delicious vegan meals that deliver balanced and sustained energy. Every recipe contains the key macronutrients of healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and proteins, which together make for a complete meal--things like Smoky Red Lentil Stew with Chard, and Falafel Bowls with Freekah and Cauliflower. Photographs accompany each recipe, showing how Gena's simple techniques and fresh ingredients yield delicious meals. Additional tips and tricks for taking food on the go, and for cooking ahead on the weekend for quick weekday lunches and dinners, round out the collection.

I've really been into cooking lately and I have to say that this book was pretty helpful without easy to understand recipes that are easily accessible. I found quite a few familiar recipes that I was able to see the differences by swapping different items I normally use to the ones that were stated in this book. Really happy to have this recipe book. Some of the recipes that I tried and enjoyed was the Zucchini Pesto Salad, Avocado and Tofu Toasts, and the Cheesey Cream of Broccoli. Never tried Zucchini, Tofu or Chick Peas until I tried these recipes and I found myself really enjoying them. Overall this was a pretty good cookbook, great for you beginners when it comes to cooking like myself with its easy to follow recipes and pictures.
