I love this book and plan on making many of the recipes.They truly are amazing!!!! There is a French toast sandwich that looks yummy along with breakfast wraps with vegan egg salad. The French toast rolls made with just white bread , apples and spices is another have to try. There are unusual spins as with the stir fried gnocchis and avocado pasta that is linguine with an avocado sort of pesto. For fun there are the finger foods such as the ever fun potato wedges with guacamole. Pizza lovers will go mad over the pizza toast with vegan mozzarella made just with bread slices. Burrito samosas full of arborio rice, vegan cheese and sweetcorn would be perfect for dinner or a small backyard party.As anyone will tell you go vegan means missing out on the truly tasty such as wings. Yet there's a good recipe for BBQ cauliflower wings that gets them as crunchy as the real thing with a tangy sweet homemade sauce. A phenomenal dish would be savory crepes with spinach, guacamole and garlic mushrooms.

There is cookie dough made with the surprising ingredient of chickpeas and Linzer cookies , a take on the classic Linzer torte.
