The Complete Vegan Kitchen

The number of people choosing meatless meals is on the increase. And a vegan

vegetarian diet -- one without any animal products -- is an unusually healthy

one because it is high in fiber, low in saturated fat, and very nutritious.

"Too many vegan recipes have relied on exotic and difficult-to-find

ingredients or tedious, time-consuming techniques," says Jannequin Bennett,

executive chef of a restaurant in a AAA Five Diamond, Mobile Five Star hotel.

"But Very Vegetarian has recipes made with common foodstuffs that

are uncommonly delicious."

Very Vegetarian is presented by and introduced by 9-time Olympic gold

medal winner Carl Lewis, who says that a vegan diet of fresh fruits and

vegetables, whole complex carbohydrates, high quality proteins, and natural fats

is the best way to ensure a person's health and longevity.

In addition to a wide range of more than 250 mouth-watering recipes, Very

Vegetarian includes a helpful introduction about eating vegan and 16 pages

of beautiful four-color photographs. The book will help the person who is

beginning to choose meatless meals by providing nutritional information and

recipes featuring familiar foods and techniques. For those who have more

experience with a plant-based diet, the book offers recipes that will broaden

their culinary horizons.
