The 20-Minute Vegan: Quick, Easy Food (That Just So Happens To Be Plant-Based)

In his first cookbook, British cook Harris, popular on Instagram and TikTok, aims to make vegan cooking accessible in this chatty, step-by-step guide that’s appropriate both for absolute beginners as well as more experienced cooks. He begins by detailing the equipment and pantry staples that readers should have on hand. Many of the recipes rely on a food processor or lean heavily on ginger and garlic. While the techniques are not difficult, the unexpected combinations and processes should hold the interest of more experienced cooks. Since this is written for a British audience, readers in the U.S. may need to Google the names of some ingredients, such as mangetout (a type of garden pea), and to convert measurements and cooking temperatures. Harris also demonstrates how to make vegan dishes with a similar taste and texture to dishes that use animal products; for example, he shows readers how to prepare tempeh so that it resembles bacon. Dietary information is provided for each recipe.
