by Nava Atlas

Acclaimed and bestselling vegan author, cook, and creator of VegKitchen.com, Nava Atlas, delivers a beautiful must-have guide to transform your plate, your kitchen and your life with the best nature has to offer, including 125 delicious and versatile plant-based recipes for every day of the year.Eating vegan doesn’t have to be about sacrifice and substitutions. With Plant Power , Nava Atlas celebrates the bounty of natural foods and teaches everyone—from committed vegans to those who just want more plants in their diet—how to implement a plant-based approach to their lives—easily, practically, and joyfully, every day.Illustrated with 75 gorgeous color photographs throughout, Plant Power focuses on the basics, from setting up a plant-powered pantry and fridge to choosing the best fresh foods for each season and streamlining daily meal preparation. Whether it’s a stir-fry using leftover veggies in the crisper, a fajita dinner to please different taste buds, yummy hummus wraps, or a pot of chili to savor on a cold winter evening, Plant Power takes the challenge out of meal-planning and makes it fun. Each of the fresh and flavor-packed recipes is easy to make and customizable, with tips on variations from turning up the heat and mixing up ingredients, to kid-friendly, gluten-free, and seasonal options.“By savoring and being grateful for the abundance of whole foods, a powerful message is conveyed," Nava writes. “This is what we choose to eat; this is sustainable. And best of all, eating this way makes the world a better and more compassionate place.”

[Stephanie]

I love this book! I think it helps that the author thinks similarly to me, as well as understands what it's like to have kids and be vegan/vegetarian. Many, many yummy meals and great ideas!

[Sierra]

Some good recipes. I wish less ink and paper had been wasted on family pictures I was absolutely not interested in.

[Cris]

The author approaches the idea with all the fervor of the recent convert.

More than half the book is focused on pantry and attempted persuasion to the ranks of fervent, even rabid, veganism.

[Jackson]

great info, recipes, charts with indexes by subject and recipe

[Patsy]

[Gleicienne Fernandes]

I highly recommend this book. All the recipes and the approach of plant-based food is just amazing. I am not vegan yet but I've tried to know more about this universe that seems to interesting.

[Carol]

Good recipies, easy to follow, and my non-veggie loving family enjoyed them!

A lot of easy plant based family style recipes. Nicely presented, with some personal narrative from the author.
