We don’t have enough land in England for everyone to eat free-range. So if you don’t want factory farming, everyone needs to eat less meat and more plants!
Anything You Can Cook, I Can Vegan is a unique book by a food wizard, recreating favourites with plant-based ingredients. With recipes for every skill level, this vibrant refreshing book shows how to whip up comfort-food classics to surprise your tastebuds. Over 100 recipes plus tips on stocking your pantry and a recipe-finder quiz.
Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets (many ready-made products may contain pet-toxic ingredients like onion and garlic).
If you have a husband/father/son/nephew/grandpa who say he would never eat vegan, try this recipe book to convert! Whether you are planning to go plant-based all the time or just eat less meat, the answer is not to browbeat people with your beliefs. But convert them through taste! An old proverb states the ‘a hungry belly has no ears!;
Recipes include:
- Fried ‘eggs’
- Mushroom brisket sandwiches
- Mac n Cheese
- Lobster rolls
- Tempeh nuggets
- Burrito bowls with sofritas
- Blueberry cornflake muffins

Learning to make fish & chips out of aubergine? Yes please! Whipping up a brisket sandwich out of mushrooms? Sign me up! This book even has a snappy title, which is somehow uplifting and passive aggressive at the same time. Hi, I’m Richard. I strongly suspect we already have one big thing in common: an interest in vegan food. Oh boy, we’re going to get along!
I also wrote this book because I am an unapologetic nerd. This book is also a collection of my lab-notes. What kind of a vegan-mad scientist would I be if I kept all these rad ideas to myself? Sharing is caring, bestie!

‘Fake Meat’ Recipes (but not that fake)
Fake Meat is a book by one of the world’s best-selling vegan cookbook authors. Isa Chandra learned to cook with Food Not Bombs volunteers in her native New York, and her books sell like hot cakes in the US, enough for her to even open up restaurants.
This fun book unashamedly shows people how to cook ‘fake meat’ along with her signature funny commentary (she’s Jewish, so think along the lines of Joan Rivers writing a vegan cookbook).
Recipes include:
- Quiche Lorrain’t!
- Vegan broths
- Smoked beet Cuban sandwiches
- Buttermylk Fried Chick’n
- Tempeh Meatballs
- Seitan Stroganoff
- Hot Pastramia Sandwiches
- Vegan Hot Dogs
- Buffalo Wings
