Best of Vegan: 100 Recipes That Celebrate Comfort, Culture, and Community

“There isn’t just one way to eat vegan,” writes Instagrammer Hansen (Vegan Reset: The 28-Day Plan to Kickstart Your Healthy Lifestyle) in this flavorful collection of collaborative cross-cultural offerings. Montreal chef and cookbook author Lloyd Rosa shares Jamaican ackee and fried dumplings, which can be eaten for breakfast or lunch, and Stockholm recipe developer Seiran Sinjari provides a recipe for Kurdish aprax/dolma, a dish of tangy stuffed vegetables with herbed aromatic rice. Quick and easy weeknight fare includes avocado pesto pasta with a boost of nutritional yeast, and pasta with creamy cashew miso sauce. Alcohol-infused sides such as whiskey-glazed brussels sprouts and leeks are “intended for both vegetable lovers and those trying to be.” The baked goods on offer include carrot cardamom cake with lemon cream cheese frosting, chocolate raspberry muffins, and maple-roasted pineapple with mint yogurt. Traditional desserts are veganized but remain decadent; tiramisu calls for vegan butter and vegan mascarpone cream. For those looking to add some pizazz to their plant-based game, this diverse collection offers an appealingly versatile take on all things vegan.
