Dr. Bialik's Vegan Diet

Turning vegan is not always easy.For one thing some of our favorite foods are made with meat, dairy and eggs.Another headache is that sometimes it just isn't flavorful or appealing.Luckily Dr. Mayim Bialik has come out with a new cookbook with a huge variety of all sorts of vegan dishes and advice. This is a great book( and I'm not writing this because I'm a huge Big Bang Theory fan and love her character Amy Farrah Fowler). .What really stands out is the advice given by Dr.Bialik and her coauthor ,Dr.Jay Gordon. I like what Dr. Gordon has to say about going from cow's to soy ,almond or rice milk. add it to regular milk until you develop a taste for it.Other good points are breakdowns of dairy and eggs and why we should never eat them.Luckily the recipes have good sub INS . The cookbook also has an excellent list of what ingredients , and tools to have. having these makes for an easier transition into vegan cooking. It is published by Da Capo Press and can be bought on Amazon. Dr Bialik breaks the recipes down into different sections,from breakfast to sides to main meals.She also has a section on breads ,unusual for a vegan cookbook.She also has classic dishes like a true dairy less baked Mac and cheese made with Daiya cheese and even pasta salads.I am definitely trying her Thai pasta which reminds me of a lo mien along with dilled chick pea burger.The book also has my favorite snacks ,kale and Brussels sprout chips .These are super easy to make and are perfect for novices .Dr Bialik includes desserts too and these are great.There are cookies from oatmeal to a dense chocolate kind along with a have to make chocolate peanut butter pie.Dr. Bialik also includes recipes reflecting her Eastern European Jewish background with latkes and tzimmes. Veganism is not an easy lifestyle , especially after a lifetime of eating bad.The first step towards it is buying Dr ?Bialik's book.It's a step in the right direction.
