VEGAN EXPRESS

From one of the most respected names in vegetarian cooking: a collection of creative, uncomplicated recipes for the new generation of vegans—and every cook who wants to introduce tasty, healthful dishes to everyday meals. Nava Atlas, a committed vegan, offers a cookbook packed with recipes that can be prepared in thirty to forty-five minutes. Covering every course, Vegan Express presents appealing soups and stews like Udon Noodle Soup with Bok Choy and Shiitake Mushrooms; grain-and-bean-based recipes like Paella Vegetariana; Jambalaya Pasta and other noodle dishes; a wide variety of sandwiches, wraps, tortillas, pizzas, and main-course salads; and such delicious desserts as Caramel Pudding and Berry-Apple Skillet Crumble. Atlas is the author of more than half a dozen popular vegetarian cookbooks, including Vegetarian Celebrations . Her vegan cookbook offers a wide variety of quick and easy recipes, most of them made with ingredients available in any large supermarket. Nearly Instant Thai Coconut Corn Soup and Pasta Jambalaya are just some of her family-friendly dishes. Recipes include nutrition information, and most provide menu suggestions. For all vegetarian cookbook collections. Burton, author of two previous vegan cookbooks, began her newest from her blog. Her recipes call for far more specialty ingredients, like agave nectar, flax meal, and hemp seed nuts, than those in Vegan Express (though Burton does not include nutrition analyses), and many of them are more complicated as well. On the other hand, readers with wheat allergies, whether they are vegan or not, will appreciate the many wheat-free recipes here. For larger collections.
