I Can Cook Vegan: A Plant-Based Cookbook [9781419732416]

Overview

From Isa Chandra Moskowitz—the bestselling author of Veganomicon—comes I Can Cook Vegan, a plant-based cookbook dedicated to her true love: the home cook.

“The recipes here are simple and streamlined. Perfect for those days when you just want something plain, simple, and still satisfying. Perfect when you want a recipe that you know is going to turn out the first time.” —Coastal Vegans

Isa Moskowitz learned to cook from cookbooks, recipe by recipe. And after a few decades of writing her own cookbooks, she knows what the people want: easy-to-follow instructions and accessible ingredients.

Each chapter starts with a fresh mission, and readers will cook their way through pastas, salads, sandwiches, bowls, sautés, sheet-pan suppers, and sweets—more than 125 recipes!—until they are ultimately the Best Cook Imaginable, including:

• Lentil Walnut Bolognese
• Pesto Fusilli with Zucchini and Toasted Pine Nuts
• Kale Caesar Salad with Roasted Sprouts
• Classic Lentil Burger
• Grilled Curry Tofu Banh Mi
• Pesto Wild Rice with Fava Beans and Kale
• Sausage and Peppers with Swiss Chard
• Your First Vegan Lasagna
• Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes
• And dozens more!

I Can Cook Vegan is for cooks of all stripes: The just-born, brand-new cook; the tried-and-true seasoned cook who is tofu-curious; the busy weeknight pantry cook (everyone?!?!); the farmers’ market junkie who looks at all the pretty colors; the reluctant parent to the vegan child; anyone doing vegan for the animals; and for anyone doing vegan for health.

Learn how to make essential staples: White Bean Cram Cheese, Sausage, Homemade Vegan Mayo, Guacamole, Seitan, and more. Each chapter is a building block to becoming a better, more competent cook. The book teaches readers to cook the way someone might learn a new instrument: master a couple of chords, and then start to put them together to form songs.

Packed with mouthwatering color photos.
