Easy Everyday Meals from Around the World

About The Book

The acclaimed vegan chef shares 150 dishes from around the world with easy plant-based recipes from Ecuador to Ethiopia and beyond.

With this mini-immersion into global cooking, Robin Robertson demonstrates that many international cuisines are naturally free of the meat-and-potatoes constraints of the typical Standard American Diet (SAD). Drawn from the culinary traditions of Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, India, and Asia, these recipes are healthy, accessible, and full of flavor.

Organized by country or region of the world, Vegan Without Borders includes family-style comfort foods, global ethnic favorites, and creative new dishes inspired by the classics, all developed to satisfy a variety of mealtime desires. Robin also notes which recipes are gluten free, soy free, low in oil, or especially quick and easy.

Recipes include:
  • Polenta Rustica with Kale and Bean Ragout
  • Potato Gratin Dauphinoise
  • Baked Eggplant Fries with Tzatziki Sauce
  • Chickpea Nuggets with Buffalo Barbecue Ranch Sauce
  • Blue Ribbon Chocolate Cake
  • Mojito Sweet Potatoes
  • Melon Paletas
  • Za’atar Roasted Cauliflower
  • Lemongrass Coconut Rice
  • Red-Cooked Tempeh
