    "Singer-songwriter Denai Moore launched onto the food scene in 2017 with her pop-up restaurant Dee's Table, an intimate dining experience connecting to her nostalgia of Jamaican flavours with plant-forward dishes. Inspired by her travels around the world and growing up in London, Denai wanted to showcase her unique take on Jamaican food, reimagining traditional flavours and debunking the myth of it being a meat-heavy cuisine.

    In her debut cookbook PLENTIFUL: Vegan Jamaican Recipes To Repeat, Denai shows how exciting, diverse and vibrant vegan Jamaican flavours truly are. The use of spices is so unique, and with a cuisine that’s a melting pot of different cultures coming together, Denai’s fun and easy to follow recipes will have you cooking plant forward dishes in new ways.

    Moving away from conventional chapters, Denai shares the foods she dreams about before going to bed (Spring onion and cheddar biscuits with kimchi tofu scramble and greens), salads that aren’t lame (Sticky orange roasted green bean and mangetout salad), comforting grub (Ackee carbonara) and feel good cooking for one (Plantain and brown lentils with hot pistachio and corn nut dressing). Alongside dishes for special occasions (King oyster mushroom ‘scallops’ with coconut rundown risotto), for when company drops by (Sorrel hoisin fried ‘chicken’ burger) as well as sides that have main event energy (Sweet and sticky jerk carrots with feta), there are punchy rum cocktails and Lychee and scotch bonnet frozen margs for a banging part and Denai’s dessert finale to end any meal (Dark chocolate and pecan coffee caramel tart).

    Alongside great pickles and condiments recipes to fill up your cupboards, Denai will also walk you through her pantry and the kitchen equipment she can’t live without so that there’ll be no event that you aren’t prepared for. PLENTIFUL is a soulful, modern, and expressive exploration of delicious-tasting, vegan Jamaican food that speaks to the modern every day cook as well as presents Denai as an exciting voice redefining the UK food scene."

    "Take a trip to Paris via this gorgeous cookbook! You won’t believe these decadent desserts are actually plant-based.

    Since 2016, Amanda Bankert, a Le Cordon Bleu−trained pâtissière, has been the surreptitious purveyor of vegan treats in the world’s most butter-obsessed city: Paris. It started with donuts;

    Bankert, an American expat, brought the first artisanal versions of the stateside delicacy to France with her bakery, Boneshaker, in the 2nd arrondissement. Boneshaker then expanded from donuts, to brownies, to French desserts like macarons and profiteroles—all made without dairy or eggs—and the Parisians who devoured her wares didn’t even notice.

    Using both American and French techniques, Amanda digs into secretly vegan breakfasts like Banana Tarte Tatin French Toast and Pumpkin Cake Donuts; gâteaux de voyage (travel-friendly cakes) such as Signature Salted Caramel & Roasted Peanut Brownies; and classically French treats, including Crêpes Suzette and Raspberry-Chocolate Macarons.

    Voilà! Vegan dessert is served."

    The fresh, bright flavors of Mexico and Southern California, adapted for the plant-based home cook, from one of L.A.’s favorite restaurants.

    It’s no surprise that Gracias Madre has its roots in giving gratitude. Gracias Madre means thank you, Mother in Spanish, and the phrase encapsulates the mission of this Cali-Mexican eatery, which is to serve the L.A. community and give people fresh food made with integrity from ingredients grown with love. Go figure that, in California, love is a taco.

    Mexican food is, in many ways, one of the original vegan cuisines. Before the Spanish conquistadores brought with them new ingredients, including many dairy products, the Mexican pantry centered on what’s called “The Three Sisters” in Mesoamerican culture: beans, corn and chiles. By embracing these workhorses, layering in chile- and spice-filled salsas and moles, and experimenting with creative whole-food twists on traditional meat fillings (mushroom carnitas and al pastor, jackfruit mixiote, dehydrated hibiscus) as well as nut-based cheeses (cashew crema and queso balance, almond cotija), Gracias Madre’s menu is filled with well-loved Cali-Mexican classics. With 125 simple, entirely plant-based recipes for the home cook, including Calabaza and Onion Quesadillas, Coliflor with Cashew Nacho Cheese, and Coffee Flan, The Gracias Madre Cookbook is a vegetable-forward dive into one of the world’s most delicious cuisines.

    Nuts aren’t just a healthy snack – they can be the star of delicious, elegant meals every season of the year. Now, blending the latest nutritional research with dozens of beautifully hotographed and easy-to-prepare dishes, vegan chef Estella Schweizer shows home cooks how to incorporate nuts into every aspect of their diet.

    We all know that nuts are a superfood; rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber, and minerals, they make a convenient snack and add crunch to a salad. But the true versatility of nuts as a main ingredient has been underexplored. Organized to honor the gifts of every season, this book kicks off with a spring menu of asparagus with peanuts, chilis, and mango; plunges into summer with a walnut Bolognese on zucchini pasta; celebrated fall’s bounty with pumpkin and lentil lasagna filled with cashew bechamel sauce; takes off winter’s chill with a no-cheese fondue – and more soups, salads, dips, cakes, breads, and desserts. Each recipe is presented in double-page spreads with gorgeous photographs, a list of kitchen equipment, and tips for serving and substitutions. Schweizer also does a deep dive into a variety of nuts and seeds from almonds to walnuts, pecans to pepitas – providing not just nutritional information but also in-depth histories, origins, and types of uses. Whether you’re a gourmet plant-based cook, or just looking for new ways to benefit from a nutritional powerhouse, these recipes look good, taste great, and will make you feel even better.

    Dr. Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute have been working for decades to encourage individuals and companies everywhere to live harmoniously with the natural world, and in one way in particular – by choosing to #EATMEATLESS – we can each make an incredible difference. The Jane Goodall Institute is proud to announce the launch of the new book/cookbook, published by Simon & Schuster with a foreword by Dr. Goodall herself and 80 plant-based recipes, titled #EATMEATLESS: Good For Animals, The Earth & All [Weldon Owen/NewSeed Press; March 23, 2021]. The book and accompanying campaign of the same name focus on all the ways in which choosing to go plant-based doesn’t have to be a complete upheaval in order for it to be completely revolutionary for people, other animals, and the planet we share.

    The book is available for preorder at insighteditions.com/products/eatmeatless, as well as other online vendors, and will be available widely March 23, 2021. From conservation to animal rights and climate action, Dr. Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute have taken on efforts to improve wellbeing for all through core community-led and youth programs, in addition to global activism. One important and cross-cutting advocacy effort is the need to transform food systems away from the harm of animal agriculture and toward greater sustainability and plant-based products. To that end, Jane and JGI have introduced #EATMEATLESS, a campaign encouraging plant-based and sustainable living including a pledge. The campaign is now fueled and supported by the new #EATMEATLESS book/cookbook which is unlike any in the landscape - a truly new way to look at and approach the way we each live in an interconnected world through food. The timing and importance of this expansive and beautiful cookbook cannot be understated as we face some of the greatest challenges of our time including the climate crisis, unparalleled habitat loss, millions of animals suffering in factory farms, and the spread of zoonotic disease. This is an urgent issue, as scientists forecast that pandemics like COVID-19 created by a zoonotic spillover event will be one of many if we do not fundamentally change our current systems including animal agriculture. As a solution, this book provides a proactive and approachable way for individuals to understand their role in embracing plant-based lifestyles through inviting and exciting recipes and reflections. Crafted especially for curious consumers looking to incorporate healthier dietary practices, those interested in environmental sustainability and animal welfare, and for fans of Jane Goodall’s work, this collection of 80 vegan, accessible, and sustainable recipes gives home cooks the tools they need to take charge of their diet and take advantage of their own ability to make a difference in their communities and beyond. Along with colorful food photography, quotes from Dr. Goodall interspersed throughout transform this plant-based staple into an inspiring guide to reclaiming our broken food system: for the environment, for other animals, and for ourselves.

    This is the anti-vegan cookbook for vegans. Almost every vegetarian and vegan cookbook focuses on the whole wheat/kefir/green cleanse/salt lamp/lentil aspect of living a cruelty-free diet. But what about those of us who actually dream of a greasy burger all day and all night, but simply can’t justify eating animal products? Or those of us who just wanted to opt out of the environmentally unsustainable meat industry? Or anyone who is just keen to broaden their culinary horizons and dip a toe in the waters of veganism? Like author Zacchary Bird. If you see and taste the world the same way as Zac, then this is the cookbook for you. Because who said that living without meat meant that you couldn’t get greasy AF? They were wrong, and this book is (cruelty-free) proof Inside this epic volume you’ll find easy-to-follow recipes for deep-fried mac ‘n’ cheese balls, jalapeno poppers, Philly faux-steak, The Big Zac (i.e. a Big Mac, reimagined and reborn), and deep-fried banana fritters.
