A Book of Simple Delicious Vegan Recipes

Learning to cook your own food is empowering, as you no longer have to rely on expensive plastic-wrapped ready-meals and takeaways. Master your favourite cuisines at home. Then every night is restaurant night!

Simple & Delicious Vegan is a self-published book by one of the world’s most popular vegan recipe bloggers. This German woman (who lives in Costa Rica) went vegan to heal severe acne, and her recipes are unique, each page containing a visual of ingredients.

A few of her recipes use the sweetener xylitol, but she always gives subs, if you live with pets (just a few dropped crumbs could be unsafe, so never cook or bake with it, if you live with furry friends).

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).

Author Michaela Vais is German by birth. She used to work as a pharmaceutical technician, and noticed that people who used natural methods often got better results than those who took endless medication! She now lives in Costa Rica, where she runs one of the world’s most popular vegan recipe blogs.

This book is a bit more expensive due to being self-published, but will provide you with years of lovely recipes (all affordable) so will pay for itself in no time. Here is a gallery of some of the recipes included:
