For years, the vegan diet was associated with the prejudice that the food was monotonous and not very edible. Although around 1.58 million people in Germany are now vegan (as of 2022), confronting such prejudices will also be part of the conversation for vegans about their diet in 2023. One circumstance that counteracts this image are numerous vegan recipes and cookbooks that show even skeptical people that vegan nutrition is delicious and versatile.
Vegan cookbooks are suitable for people who are looking for an introduction to the vegan diet, as well as for vegans who are interested in new recipes.
The first cookbook “Everyone Can Be Vegan” contains over 100 recipes for every day and is the work of the bloggers of the “eat this!” blog. The uncomplicated, vegan recipes come from everyday cooking, so that beginners get a lot of inspiration for simple vegan recipes.
The work “Vegan Pantry” is based on the fact that nowadays very few people know how to make their own vegetable broth or yoghurt. This cookbook is intended to help you create your own spreads, sauces and pasta. If you’re interested in making homemade supplies, you’ll find inspiration in this cookbook and can fill your pantry with vegan staples in the future.
Sweet things make many people’s hearts beat faster. Therefore, a cookbook with sweet treats is a must. In the cookbook “La Veganista bakes” there are numerous recipes for cakes and pastries as well as answers to questions such as: “How does baking work without eggs?” And one thing is for sure, as a vegan you don’t have to give up sinful snacks.
The cookbook “Vegan Soulfood” by food blogger Bianca Zapatka also shows that vegan creations are anything but monotonous. The recipe ideas include sweet and savory breakfast ideas as well as light salads and refreshing drinks. All recipes have nutritional information, so you can not only cook delicious dishes, but also know what lies behind the foods used.
The cookbook “Vegan Low Budget” by nutritionists Niko Rittenau and Sebastian Copien provides an answer to the prejudice that vegan nutrition is significantly more expensive and therefore only for people with larger budgets. The recipes are intended to show that a vegan diet is nutrient-rich, suitable for everyday use and, of course, purely plant-based. Healthy cuisine is therefore not boring and expensive, but creative and delicious.
If you want to live a vegan lifestyle, you should take a closer look at nutrients and supplement your diet with vitamin B12. You can find out more about this in this stern article.
