"Vegan Bible" (Marie Laforêt)

This recipe book has become a reference (and a best-seller) in its field. It features 500 recipes divided into 3 sections: a first section to familiarize yourself with plant-based proteins, a second section to learn how to replace eggs and dairy products, and a final chapter dedicated to vegetables that are often relegated to the status of side dishes.

Here is how Marie Laforêt summarizes her book: “Through this book, I wanted to make vegan cooking more accessible, less exclusive, and, above all, to break free from the stereotype of ‘sad, complicated, and non-delicious’ vegan cuisine, reserved for extreme health nuts, to which it has been reduced for far too long. Cooking vegan certainly requires a slight adjustment to your pantry, but it is far from the mountain of complications that one might imagine. (…) What I hope to achieve with this book is to show that vegan cooking is for everyone; it’s a cuisine that includes everyone, a cuisine with heart. Even if you’re not vegan or vegetarian, this book can help you create healthy and delicious meals that everyone can enjoy. I hope it brings everyone together around a good dish or dessert. Because contrary to what some may assert, vegans don’t want to marginalize themselves or stand out through their diet; on the contrary, they want to share their cuisine and demonstrate through it that you can eat differently without giving up the pleasure of eating or the pleasure of eating together.
