About The Book

Beautifully photographed cookbook featuring innovative recipes to inspire to a range of plant-based diets—even those that allow some lean meat and seafood.

Over 100 fresh-tasting recipes, each one beautifully photographed, take a modern approach to plant-based cooking, combining a wide range of ingredients in enticing internationally-inspired recipes. Some of the innovative, triple-tested recipes from the test kitchen experts at Australian Women’s Weekly appeal to those on strict vegetarian or vegan diets, while others combine vegetables with lean meats and seafood—all embracing a global perspective and fresh flavor focus with universal appeal.
