This, our dear friends, is the heart of our cookbook. What to eat for dinner is a question we all ponder every day. Whether you’re brand-new to vegan eating or a longtime herbivore itching for culinary inspiration, these recipes promise to nourish you while tantalizing your taste buds.
If you, like us, are a pasta lover, head straight to the Mac ’n’ Cheese (page 63), Fettuccine Alfredo (page 75), and Pesto Pasta (page 81) recipes. The Chickpea “Tuna” Salad Sandwich (page 91) has been one of our lunchtime standards for years (you can also enjoy it as a wrap, a side, or just a snack), and Allison’s Pot Pie (page 73)—though a little more labor-intensive than most of our recipes—is the ultimate comfort food dish.
One of the biggest challenges we face as plant-based eaters is gathering around food with friends, but there’s nothing better than hearing your dinner guests say they can’t believe their meal was vegan. Every recipe in this chapter was designed to elicit that response.
