Summary

Acclaimed and bestselling vegan author, cook, and creator of VegKitchen.com, Nava Atlas, delivers a beautiful must-have guide to transform your plate, your kitchen and your life with the best nature has to offer, including 125 delicious and versatile plant-based recipes for every day of the year.

Eating vegan doesn't have to be about sacrifice and substitutions. With Plant Power , Nava Atlas celebrates the bounty of natural foods and teaches everyone--from committed vegans to those who just want more plants in their diet--how to implement a plant-based approach to their lives--easily, practically, and joyfully, every day.

Illustrated with 75 gorgeous color photographs throughout, Plant Power focuses on the basics, from setting up a plant-powered pantry and fridge to choosing the best fresh foods for each season and streamlining daily meal preparation. Whether it's a stir-fry using leftover veggies in the crisper, a fajita dinner to please different taste buds, yummy hummus wraps, or a pot of chili to savor on a cold winter evening, Plant Power takes the challenge out of meal-planning and makes it fun. Each of the fresh and flavor-packed recipes is easy to make and customizable, with tips on variations from turning up the heat and mixing up ingredients, to kid-friendly, gluten-free, and seasonal options.

"By savoring and being grateful for the abundance of whole foods, a powerful message is conveyed," Nava writes. "This is what we choose to eat; this is sustainable. And best of all, eating this way makes the world a better and more compassionate place."

Library Journal Review

Atlas's (Wild About Greens) newest vegan cookbook continues the popular trend of well-known cookbook authors sharing diet philosophies and recommending ways for readers to eat less meat and processed foods. After listing the ethical, environmental, and health benefits of a plant-based diet, the author shares shopping, pantry stocking, and meal-planning strategies, followed by recipes grouped in unconventional categories (e.g., plant-powered protein, bountiful bowls, Asian express). Much like the recipes in Mark Bittman's The VB6 Cookbook, Atlas's recipes-such as Asian-style tofu and vegetable soup, barbecue-flavored chickpea sandwiches, and mixed vegetable lasagna-include numerous variations and time-saving tips. They also include nutrition information and suggested accompaniments. VERDICT Atlas succeeds more as a recipe writer than a diet guru. Her new book may not compel readers to overhaul their lifestyles, but it will provide them with new, delicious, and practical vegan recipes. (c) Copyright 2014.
