About this item
Many of us, for various reasons, are trying to reduce the amount of meat and dairy in our diets but are reluctant to let go of our favorite foods. When chef Sam Murphy decided to change her lifestyle, originally just to lose weight and have a more balanced diet, she assumed that her days of eating pizzas, burgers, and brownies were over. But after experimenting in the kitchen, Sam realized that she could still eat all of those indulgent dishes while looking after herself and the world around her. Bringing all of Sam's best recipes together, this incredible collection includes delicious, healthy options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as sides, salads, sauces, smoothies, and desserts. It features Sam's recipes for Spaghetti Carbonara, Chickpea Chilli, Cheese Toasties, Loaded Vegan Hot Dogs, Salted Caramel Brownies, Cookie Dough Cereal, The Vegan Big Mac, and many, many more. Whether you're looking to go without meat or dairy every day, every week, or just once a month, or if you just want to indulge in guilty food without the guilt, this book is the perfect guide to making meals you can really enjoy. Includes dual measures.
