Plant-based eating is more than just putting vegetables on your plate. It offers the opportunity to experiment with different flavours and textures, and discover how a single vegetable can be transformed into a multitude of nourishing and tasty meals.

Amerae Vercueil has used her many talents to produce a book that will appeal to vegans and vegetarians looking for something different, as well as anyone who simply wants to add more veggies to their diet.

Based on recipes that she enjoys cooking and eating, Food That Loves You Back presents popular veggies in a way that will inspire you to go beyond ‘meat-free Mondays’!

If you’ve ever wondered what to do with Brussels sprouts, canned artichokes, leeks or lentils, this book has the answer.

Healthy carbs are covered too, in the form of olive oil pastry, seed & oat bread, and flatbreads, and if you’re searching for a sweet treat to end a vegan meal, look no further than Amerae’s peanut butter and choc-chip cookies, banana gingerbread loaf, or showstopping date & chocolate cake with chocolate ganache.

Sample a few of our favourite recipes from the book:

• Carrot Salad
• Israeli Flatbreads
• Lebanese Wraps
• Ultimate Green Salad
