Health Nut: A Feel Good Cookbook - Healthy Recipes for Weight Loss & Wellness | Plant-Based, Gluten-Free & Vegan Meals for Everyday Cooking & Meal Prep

The author of the popular leans further into vegetable dishes, happily conjuring a little of the counterculture vibe of the 60s and 70s as well as dishes from the era of kale and cauliflower.

Health Nut is neither vegan nor vegetarian, but it’s certainly friendly to both eating approaches with dishes like beet and black bean burgers with sweet potato fries or carrot ginger saffron soup with rosey harissa.  There’s even a lentil loaf if you’re feeling nostalgic for a time when avocado was best known as an appliance color.

For a more contemporary spin, consider:

• Tomato and melon gazpacho

• Raw snap peas with feta, chile, and mint

• Trumpet mushrooms with soba noodles, soy, and butter

• Vegan baklava ice cream

Damuck’s voice is a presence throughout the book, adding a significant dollop of personality.
