Simple and Delicious Vegan: 100 Vegan and Gluten-Free Recipes Created by ElaVegan (Plant Based, Raw Food)

The media could not be loaded. I started watching this recipe creator Michaela Vais on her cooking channel. I really enjoyed watching how she made vegan cooking look easy and fun. I am not a vegan just someone who is searching for healthy recipes to make that includes lots of veggies. I liked how she prepared her recipes so decided to give her cookbook a try. I was delighted to see she had different recipes than other vegan cookbooks I own. Some of her recipes sound like they might be hard to make like vegan moussaka or mujadara but she explains everything so well even someone like me who is still learning about this type of cooking can have success in the kitchen with her easy to follow directions. I have made about 9 recipes so far and each dish was flavorful and left my stomach happy and full. The eggplant mini pizza, red lentil Dahl and zucchini fritters have been my favorite recipes so far from this cookbook. Since the book has 100 recipes it will take me some time to get to them all. There is a beautiful photo of every recipe and another photo of all the individual ingredients you will need to create the dish. The contents include sauces, breakfast, sides, salads, soups, stews, curries, main meals, snacks and desserts. There is no nutritional info included which would have been nice to have. If you are looking for a plant based cookbook that has a variety of recipes that are easy to follow then "simple and delicious vegan" would be a great cookbook to pick up and try.

Such a wonderful book! It's rare when a book ticks almost every single nitpicky requirement I have for a great cookbook, but this one does. It has normal ingredients, clear instructions, easy recipes, abundant photos (including photos of ingredients, a touch I applaud), substitution info, and a good variety from savory to sweet, appetizers to soups, desserts, sides, and mains. Fabulous. Highly recommend. Only thing I dislike is the use of nutritional yeast which I believe to be very unhealthy (so I use substitutions). Gem of a book, loving it.

I've been following Ela on her food blog, ElaVegan for years. It's nice to finally have a cookbook from her. Yes, many recipes are on her website that she offers for free, but this is an opportunity to support this creator and all her time and creativity and effort. What makes her recipes so amazing are the straightforward and minimal ingredients. Minimal meaning: no crap or filler, just real, whole foods and spices. And she also has twists on recipes I have made for years before I used hers. For example, chocolate mousse pie made with avocados. She adds a sweet potato into this recipe which just took it to another level for me. Ela is one of the BEST vegan chefs out there and while not all of the members of my household are vegan, I am able to introduce these dishes and slowly but surely change our palates and offer plant-based alternatives to dishes we enjoy that we all feel taste better and are better for us. on a side note, Ela is also very active and dialed into her website and her social media. She's a friendly, beautiful soul. Buy this book.

I've made many of of ElaVegan's recipes from her Instagram account and they never disappoint. Her dishes always end up making it into our dinner rotations over and over again. I was so excited to get her book and I just spend the last hour looking at all these delicious recipes and cannot wait to make them! One reviewer was disappointed with the simplicity of the recipes but THAT is exactly what I love about her recipes. I want something that I can easily make in a fairly short amount of time. The last thing I want is some elaborate complicated recipe that takes loads of time and ingredients I don't easily have on hand. Plus the simple recipes are easier on my digestion and keeps my belly happy without disappointing my tastebuds. This is probably one of my favorite recipe books and I see myself using it over and over again unlike many I have that sit on the shelf unused. Each recipe has a picture which is super helpful. I don't know about you, but if I don't have a picture with a recipe, I'm simply not going to make it. This book is so beautifully designed, I was quite impressed and quite happy to have it!

The media could not be loaded. I have been following the author, Michaela Vais @elavegan on Instagram for over two years and I love all of her wonderful recipes. They are easy to follow and taste incredible. I have been hoping for her to come out with a cookbook so when I saw it was available on Amazon I purchased it right away! It arrived today and it's more than I hoped for. Filled with a ton of amazing recipes from breakfast, snacks, soups, sauces, salads, stews, main meals, to desserts. Every recipe is accompanied with a beautiful & colorful photograph and a picture of all the items you will need to make the recipe. I can't wait to try all of them! Additionally, the cookbook lays nice and flat on the counter no matter what page you are referring to. My favorite so far is the Shepherd's Pie on page 166. I have made this numerous times and everyone in my family loves it, even the non-vegans. I have been vegetarian for over 20 years and just recently started a vegan diet. Michaela's recipes make it so easy and enjoyable! I know you too will be so happy with your purchase!

Very simple recipes and very fast to make. I enjoy the book and the recipes are easy to make and is very delicious. Highly recommended!

Sehr gute Rezepte, abwechslungsreich, tolle Bilder, sehr gute Beschreibung

Love the big photos and clear instructions. No obscure ingredients. Everything looks so amazing I'm going to try it all!

Ci sono un sacco di ricette, tutte corredate di dettagli e foto. Seguo l'autrice già da tempo sul suo blog, ma avere il libro fisico di ricette è più comodo. Le ricette sono tutte super buone.

Easy to follow very tasty recipes.
