Notes about Recipes in this book

• Peanut butter-cup smoothie

  • nikasul on April 20, 2017

    Good with almond butter instead of peanut butter

  • bching on March 11, 2021

    Ingredients 2 whole bananas (frozen) 1 tbsp peanut butter 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa ¼ cup nondairy milk A boiling pot Instructions Combine all ingredients in a blender and whiz until smooth, adding more non-dairy milk as necessary.

• Basic tofu scramble

  • jdiedrichs on March 16, 2026

    A great base to build on. I use it all the time and add whatever vegetables need using up.

• Moroccan lentil soup

  • ultravioletjen on January 16, 2024

    I found this to be a bit watery so I added a can of chickpeas and put it on top of barley. Very tasty!

• Broccoli & red pepper stir-fry

  • happyeater on May 03, 2015

    Too much sauce. The broccoli and red peppers will overcook if you wait for it to cook down. Also a little bitter. I even made the vegan worcestershire sauce (which I did like). Not the best stir-fry but I like that it's oil-free.

• Cajun chickpea cakes

  • Wildappalachian on October 09, 2020

    Consider adding marinated tempeh in addition to the chickpeas for a "meatier" cake. Tempeh can be pulsed in the food processor along with the chickpeas. If using non-marinated tempeh, spices will need to be adjusted/increased.

• Indian spiced chickpeas & kale

  • jay_jsgev4 on March 24, 2026

    Delicious and filling. Note that it only serves 2 and portions are quite small.

• Tortuga rum cake

  • SugarFree_Vegan on February 08, 2014

    I substitute the Sugar for Xylitol and stevia to make the cake even more healthy. It's a lovely recipe and keeps well (if allowed!) because of the rum content. I also make my own powdered Xylitol for icing/frosting by using a high speed blender and adding a pinch of cornflour/starch to the xylitol. It's not a bad subsitute although doesn't behave exactly like sugar when mixing with a liquid.

• Teriyaki sauce

  • sarah_7qmham on June 11, 2026

    This is a simple recipe with pantry ingredients. It’s not a sweet teriyaki and the consistency is runny. I like this for an easy marinade or stir fry sauce. Kid approved.

• Simple cheese sauce

  • kpieczyn on June 07, 2015

    This is great with salsa added to it.

• Oregonian

  Her premise is that plant-based cooking doesn't have to be a chore, and that if home cooks creatively use ingredients they already have... they can come up with nutritious meals in 30 mins or less.
