Easy Vegan Recipes for Beginners | Quick & Healthy Plant-Based Meals | Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Ideas for Vegan Lifestyle

A handy weeknight cookbook for vegans, or even for those who are simply incorporating a few meat-free days into their weekly cooking, Hot for Food All Day has a bright, modern feel and an improvisational edge that help it stand out.

It seems as if blogger Lauren Toyota often opens her refrigerator and wonders what she might do with her leftovers. She offers a creamy pea soup, and then shows you how to repurpose it as a pasta sauce. Last night’s roasted vegetables become the filling for today’s potstickers. If you somehow have uneaten blistered shishito peppers—who doesn’t polish them all off, they’re addictive!—then they’ll be great in ramen the next day.

This is a friendly book that encourages cooks not to be shy about playing around with recipes they like.

Paperback. Color photographs throughout.
