A Fun Book of 20-Minute Vegan Recipes

the 20 minute vegan

The 20-Minute Vegan is a book by new cooking star Calum (we can see him becoming the new Jamie Oliver). These simple affordable meals include proper pastas, creamy curries and fluffy pancakes, all made with easy-to-find ingredients.

Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets (many ingredients are unsafe near animal friends). Bin allium scraps (onion, garlic, leeks, shallots, chives) as acids may harm compost creatures (same with tomato/citrus/rhubarb scraps).

Recipes include:

  • Proper Porridge with Cherry Jam
  • Fancy Apple Cinnamon Oven Oats
  • Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes
  • Miso Beans & Gnocchi
  • Danny Danny noodles
  • Silky Chocolate Mousse

Danny Danny noodles

This book is really good! Endorsed by Joe Wicks, if you like the Jamie Oliver kind of instructions, you’ll love this book. He can write, cook and also is on a mission to make it simple for anyone to cook.

I believe that with the recipes in this book and a few adjustments to your weekly shop, you’ll be flying and eating more vegan food in no time. And you’ll actually stick with it.

You only need a little bit of prep to make meals that look like the rainbow and taste gorgeous. 20 minutes for me means 15 minutes with time for a little chat and going back to the fridge for an ingredient. I don’t have a stopwatch when I cook, as that would be too strict and I’d have no social life.

About the Author 

Calum Harris is a popular cook (not a chef) who learned to cook from his mum, then converted recipes after he went vegan after a conversation with a vegan relative at a BBQ.

His recipes went viral on social media (340,000 and counting) and he has ‘won the heart’ of fellow chef Jamie Oliver (he often gets mistaken for being his son!)
