Nisha Melvani appreciates that it's hard for many people to commit to being 100% vegan. But committing to one vegan meal a day--dinner--is much more feasible. For those trying to incorporate more vegan meals into your diet, Practically Vegan is your go-to weeknight dinner cookbook and the perfect entry to veganism. A registered dietitian nutritionist, Melvani offers solid, tested vegan recipes and a non-militant approach for those wanting to eat less meat. Plant-based cooking will no longer feel intimidating with easy-to-find ingredients that you will use in the kitchen over and over again. Inspired by the flavors she was introduced to while growing up in Jamaica, England, and Canada, as well as her own Indian heritage, Melvani shares over 100 delicious recipes, including Creamy One-Pot Cheesy Broccoli Pasta Soup, Cauliflower-Sweet Potato Curry, Sesame Noodle Veggie Stir-Fry, Mushroom Bourguignon, and more, accompanied by a foreword written by bestselling author Jonathan Safran Foer, who urged Melvani to write this cookbook after feeding his family her recipes. With easy-to-follow directions and recipe substitutions as well as culinary tips and tricks, Practically Vegan will be the helping hand you need to prepare a vegan dinner for yourself or your family with confidence. Review: Practical, inventive and delicious - I bought this book when it came out and it has become a trusted source of delicious recipes, which can easily be modified to remove oils if you follow a whole foods plant based diet, without affecting the final result. I thought I would list some of my favorite recipes in the book, which I had made countless times: * Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus Pasta -- this recipe is brilliant in its simplicity and such a time saver. Sometimes I use fresh tomatoes instead of sun dried tomatoes to lower the sodium content. If I have time, I make my own hummus with no oil added. I have also made this with a navy bean "hummus" to make a vegan "Alfredo" sauce. * Cheesy Tofu Scramble - this is the best tofu scramble I have eaten. I like to add half a shredded carrot and some shredded kale when cooking to add more veggies. It makes for a killer breakfast burrito. * Smashed Pinto Beans with Tahini - I am usually not a fan of pinto beans but the addition of tahini softens the taste of the pinto beans and makes it creamy. It is delicious spread on tostadas or as a base for vegan nachos. *Eggplant Parmesan Meatballs - another tasty recipe that is a little more labor intensive. It works without the addition of oil. * Artichoke Pinto Burgers - a great alternative to the usual black bean burgers. The taste is unique and the texture a little meat-like thanks to the artichokes. * Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing - this is my staple when I want to make a kale salad. * Butternut Squash Tahini Curry - another brilliant recipe where you get the consistency and flavor of Thai curry but without using any coconut milk. I add a can of chickpeas and a cubed block of tofu to add more protein. Review: Must have for vegans. - Great cookbook, I’ve been using it for a few years now and keep going back to it. ## Features - Item Trademark: RODALE BOOKS - manufacturer: Rodale Books - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 1.77, 1.77 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #302,775 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,112 in Vegetarian & Vegan Food #1,305 in Quick & Easy Cooking #29,650 in Crafts, Hobbies & Home | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 346 Reviews | ## Images ![Practically Vegan: More Than 100 Easy, Delicious Vegan Dinners on a Budget: A Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Gt8tNPWwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Practical, inventive and delicious *by V***S on 19 January 2023* I bought this book when it came out and it has become a trusted source of delicious recipes, which can easily be modified to remove oils if you follow a whole foods plant based diet, without affecting the final result.
