Quick & Easy Vegan Comfort Food: Over 150 Great-Tasting, Down-Home Recipes and 65 Everyday Meal Ideas for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

by Alicia C. Simpson

Overview

Enjoy all the rich flavor of traditional American comfort food on a plant-based diet with this vegan cookbook full of simple, satisfying meals.
 
A born food-lover, Alicia C. Simpson grew up on California’s incredible Mexican food and her father’s “traditional Southern soul food.” She couldn’t imagine giving up her favorite dishes to become vegan. Could Animal-free food ever match the tastes of home—like fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, or a bowl of chili? Three years after taking the vegan plunge, Alicia answers that question with a resounding “yes!”
 
Quick & Easy Vegan Comfort Food features easy-to-prepare, animal-free versions of classics like Spicy Buffalo Bites, Ultimate Nachos, Baked Ziti and more; plus 65 delicious combinations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with flavors from around the world.
 
Alicia also tells you everything you need to know to start your vegan pantry, and why being vegan is easier, less expensive, and more delicious than you might think.
