Sarah Kramer has got to be one of the best vegan role models on the planet. A prolific author of vegan cookbooks and lifestyle books, an outspoken advocate for health and well-being, and did we mention she is gorgeous, runs a hip tattoo shop on Vancouver Island and also created the über popular GoVegan.net website.
La Dolce Vegan!: Vegan Livin’ Made Easy is the latest offering in her vegan living trilogy (she is co-author of How It All Vegan and The Garden of Eden).Raised a vegetarian, Kramer has steadfastly followed her vegan bliss for the last ten years to create a budding vegan literature empire.
Kramer’s easy to follow, tried and true, vegan recipes, offer something for every palette, everyone from the die hard vegan to the vegan curious will find something to enjoy in La Dolce Vegan!.
“I’ve never felt it was my job to be the Vegan Police,” she explains. “…it’s up to individuals to decide for themselves.”
Vegan cooking eschews all animal products, including butter, milk, cheese, honey and eggs.
Most of all though, her easy to access writing style, peppered with personal insights and encouragement, make La Dolce Vegan! (and the other two books) a delight to read.
Particularly informative is the section where Kramer deals with the common vegan myths. In I’ve Heard It All, she debunks popular myths like veganism isn’t healthy, tofu doesn’t taste good, I can’t live without cheese and it is too much work.
“By allowing yourself some slack from the guilt of not being perfect, veganism suddenly and simply becomes part of your lifestyle rather than a list of rules to follow,” explains Kramer. “My desire with How It All Vegan!, The Garden of Vegan, and now La Dolce Vegan! has been to make veganism fun, accessible, tasty – and effortless.”
La Dolce Vegan! is designed for the vegan (or the vegan-curious) on the go. “For the new book, I started working on recipes that were simple: minimal ingredients with maximum taste,” writes Kramer.
Most of the recipes in La Dolce Vegan! are designed to be prepared in 20-30 minutes or less.
The book is dived into chapters focusing on Kitchen Wisdom, Breakfasts, Apples & Snacks, Salads & Dressings, Soups, Entrees, Sauces, Side Dishes, Desserts, Bakes Goods, Faux Fare, Odds & Sods and DIY.
The vegan-curious or vegan newbies will be blown away by the sheer amount of amazing food you can make that contains no animal products. In fact, it may come as a bit of a shock to some to learn that vegans eat more than just salads and chickpeas.
Imagine a feast of recipes for fluffy Coconut Pie Pancakes, Apple Walnut Pudding, Mushroom Pâté, Gillian’s Lentil Dip, Quinoa Black Bean Salad, Frenchie Onion Soup, Quick Ginger Carrot Soup, Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta With Kalamata Olives & Capers, Eggplant Parmesan, Veggie Pot Pie and Stuffed Cabbage Roles. And for dessert, consider Mixed Berry Ice Cream, Chocolate Pecan Cookies, Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Strudel and Peach Blueberry Cobbler.
La Dolce Vegan! is a brilliant cookbook for the modern vegan on the go. This witty and accessible book is immediately engaging to all ages. Hands down, Sarah Kramer writes the best vegan cookbooks on the market.
