A plant-based cookbook for middle America, featuring more than 150 quick and easy recipes for healthy favorites.



Plant-based eating is more than the latest diet fad. It’s a research-proven path to losing weight, living longer, and preventing heart disease, cancer, and a whole host of other health issues. Plus it’s environmentally friendly and easy on the wallet.

With the Plant-Based Health Basics Cookbook, readers will find support and inspiration wherever they are on their plant-based journey. It includes:

• More than 150 tasty and healthy breakfasts, entrees, quick meals, and even desserts, such as Farmers Market Enchiladas, Tropical French Toast, and Chocolate Espresso Nut Torte
• Just the basics on key nutrients, ingredients, and benefits of plant-based eating
• Tips on how to build a plant-based pantry, adapt favorite recipes to be plant-based, and shop for a plant-based diet (including the difference between all the new plant-based “meats” now on the market)
• Sample meal plans that pull recipes together for different needs: on a budget, in a hurry, heart-healthy, gluten-free, etc.
• Easy additions and substitutions for those who aren’t ready to give up meat completely—as well as for those who want to go fully vegan
