But My Family Would Never Eat Vegan! 125 Recipes To Win Everyone Over

The decision to adopt veganism as a lifestyle choice can be extremely personal (and often ethical), but one of the key elements to vegan life—food and eating—is experienced best when shared. Turner (But I Could Never Go Vegan!) takes on the social pitfalls of an eating regimen that omits some of the most cherished foods family and friends enjoy together. Readers who have followed the author's blog, Keepin' It Kind, will be familiar with the breezy personal style presenting the recipes. A quick introduction to vegan "staples" is followed by chapters with recipes suited to communal meals. From a favorite date nut bread to tempeh sloppy joes sliders, these dishes are created for occasions as important as Thanksgiving (no Tofurky, please) and as informal as sleepovers. Recipes have icons for dishes suitable for "plan ahead" and "to go" and suggest alternate ingredients for gluten-free, soy-free, and nut-free options. Similar to Nava Atlas's Plant Power, this cookbook brings an unmatched depth of personal and culinary experience to the subject.
