As you can probably guess from the title of this one, this is a vegan cookbook that covers all sorts of plant-based delights, from starters and desserts to snacks, main courses and more. The photography here is excellent, too. It’s not too artsy, which means that it’s easier for you, as the chef, to try to replicate the way that the dishes look.

A few of my favourite recipes from this one include simple scrambled tofu, sweet and sour marinated tofu, asparagus, minted pea and caramelised red onion tart, crusty no-knead carrot and courgette bread, summer pudding and no-bake strawberry vanilla cheesecake. But really, pretty much all of the recipes in this book are worth trying.

All in all, I was pretty happy with this purchase and I’d recommend it, although it’s not my overall favourite of the cookbooks that I own. It’s taught me a lot of stuff though, which is all I wanted.

A pretty cool little collection of short prose and photography that does a great job of establishing a sense of time and place, as per the title.
