From quick and easy weekday meals to show-stopping dishes for special occasions, the book caters to all skill levels and tastes.
"I wanted to create a book that inspires people to explore the incredible flavors and health benefits that vegan cooking offers," said Goldman. "Each recipe in Plants For You is crafted with care, focusing on simplicity without compromising on taste. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a novice in the kitchen, there's something here for everyone."
Highlighting the versatility of plant-based ingredients, Plants For You includes recipes such as:
