Some might ask, before venturing into veganism, how can vegans get enough protein? Or how does veganism fit into an already busy schedule? Here Oakley, author of the bestsellers Vegan 100 and Vegan Christmas, provides simple solutions to these questions by applying his usual creative flair to a collection of protein-packed recipes for busy people. Ranging from breakfast boosters and comforting soups to pasta (including lasagna), unusual burgers, big bakes, and delicious desserts, there is something for everyone, with some of the recipes taking only 15 minutes or so to produce. All the recipes are well-categorized, with icons for "gluten-free," "can-be gluten-free," or "one-pot meal." Each recipe tells the cook how much time it should take, and also evaluates each for its degree of difficulty. For those concerned with basic sustenance and how to ensure proper nutrition, the book provides a simple visual consisting of a plate and how to divide it into nutrients. VERDICT A colorful collection of creative, innovative recipes that will entice new vegans while also entertaining more experienced cooks.--Penelope J.M. Klein, Edinburgh, Scotland
