HowExpert Guide to Vegan Food for Non-Vegans

Book excerpt: HowExpert Guide to Vegan Food for Non-Vegans takes a unique approach to vegan cooking. Instead of focusing on veganism as a diet or lifestyle, this book approaches it as a cuisine. The belief is that by viewing it through that lens, resistance to trying the cuisine can be reduced. This book consists of recipes, tips, and important reminders for those interested in going vegan entirely. Still, most importantly, it is for those who either want to eat some vegan food or those who are trying to increase the number of healthy options they make for their friends and family. While there are a few tips that may only resonate with readers trying to transition fully to a vegan diet, these tips are still presented in a way that allows them to provide nutritional information that would benefit all readers. The writing style in this book has hints of sarcasm, bits of corny humor, and above all, is intended to come off as inclusive. The author, who was vegan for some time, is no longer vegan and can present the case for increasing the amount of vegan food you eat without some of the forced tones that some may associate with the cuisine. There was also some time devoted to dispelling (or confirming) some of the myths related to vegan food.
