Synopsis

The 21-Day Plant-Based Challenge: 3 Weeks of Menus, Recipes and Tips to Explore a Plant-Based Lifestyle One Bite at a Time is the perfect addition to your kitchen. The theme of the 2018 edition is Set It and Forget It. One of the biggest challenges we all face when it comes to eating healthfully is lack of time. That is why this cookbook shows you how to prepare plant-based meals FAST. To do that we included: · Great ideas for prep-ahead or quick-to-assemble lunches you can take to work. · Dinner recipes that use an electric pressure cooker. You can come home, wind down from a long day and catch up with your family while your plant-based meal ‘cooks itself’ in under one hour. · Batch cooking instructions for beans and whole grains using an electric pressure cooker. For those who do not own an electric pressure cooker, we also show how to prepare the same meals on the stovetop. This cookbook is organized into 3 weeks, each featuring its own international theme around different whole grains, starchy vegetables and legumes: Week 1: Latin American Cuisine—Quinoa, Potato, Black Bean Week 2: Mediterranean Cuisine —Wheat (with gluten-free swaps), Butternut Squash, Chickpea Week 3: Asian Cuisine—Rice, Lentil, Soybean Here are some of the innovative recipes you will find inside: · Butternut Squash Risotto · Steamed Vegetable Dumplings · Sunday Morning Smoked Tofu Benedict · Thai Peanut Noodles · Un-layered Lasagna · Vegan BLTA The book also includes a full listing of oil-free condiments, dressings and sauces, plus weekly salad, soup and sandwich ideas. You can either follow the structure of the cookbook or ‘mix and match’ according to your personal taste and dietary preferences. With the 21-Day Plant-Based Challenge recipe book, you have everything you need to explore a plant-based lifestyle one bite at a time!
