A one-stop collection for anyone seeking to put plants front and center in their diet, with hundreds of foolproof, uncomplicated recipes appealing to vegans, the veg-curious, and everyone in between.

Plant-based cooking is more diverse than ever--and so are people's reasons for wanting to eat this way. Our modern approach to eating well without meat lets you choose whether you want to eat entirely vegan or mostly vegan (with options to add dairy and eggs). The Complete Book of Plant-Based Cooking gives you everything you need to reimagine your plate and cook delicious, vegetable-centric meals.

ATK's plant-based eating strategy is easy, satisfying, and budget-friendly. And it's global--cuisines around the world are chock-full of boldly flavored, naturally vegan dishes. Taking our inspiration from them, our recipes showcase vegetables, fruits, beans and grains, and vegan (and vegetarian) protein sources--including plant-based beef. The 400 recipes are vegan but flexible, so the Rancheros with Avocado are equally flavorful made with tofu or eggs, the Farro Salad with Cucumber, Yogurt, and Mint is delicious whether made with plant-based or dairy yogurt, and the Cranberry-Apple Crisp is irresistible whether you use coconut oil or butter. There's also room at this table for both vegan and vegetarian renditions of classics, so Almost Hands-Free Fennel Risotto (made creamy with miso instead of cheese) can share space with a version that is enriched with Parmesan.

The Complete Book of Plant-Based Cooking is also filled with ingenious- yet-practical kitchen-tested tips and techniques. Learn how to rethink how you use vegetables (blend cauliflower or corn into a silky sauce for pasta, use beets to transform a burger from the "vegan option" into the best option); how to boost flavor using pantry items like spice blends, dried mushrooms, and miso; and more. A thorough opening section dives deep into the details of modern plant-based eating, addressing shopping and storage strategies, the plethora of plant-based meat and dairy options on the market, and nutritional needs and how to meet them.

Binder fell apart after 2 weeks

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2021

The real issue with this book is the cheap binding. The book falls apart. The recipes are very good. There are some new recipes in this book - along with recipes from their previously published ‘Vegan for Everyone’ cookbook. Not really a deal breaker but ATK could have updated the recipes from VFE at least. Overall, 5 stars for the recipes but it looses stars because the book falls apart.

Don’t listen to the negative reviews

Reviewed in Canada on 11 January 2021

It’s a Flexible Plant Based Cookbook. Apparently the other reviewers cannot read the title much less the description which clearly states that the book has options for a plant based diet. Recipes allow for alternatives to accommodate the vegan, vegetarian or the meat eater wanting to lean into a more plant based meal plan. Simply because one person is a strict vegan and another isn’t doesn’t make one better than the other. It’s a matter of preference. I like how the book demystifies the subject, breaks down the staples and encourages everyone by simplifying the idea of leaning into alternative eating. America’s Test Kitchen doesn’t disappoint. Their cookbooks are comprehensive and clear which allows even the most insecure chef gain confidence.

A Great Cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on 3 December 2020

The cover of the book says “Inspired, Flexible recipes for eating well without meat.” The recipes that have dairy in them, for example say “yogurt, plant based or dairy.” I think some reviewers are being a little harsh - if you don’t eat dairy or eggs, use the plant based ingredient instead. This may be a cookbook that will help more people move away from a meat based diet!

The book has a big section on the plant based kitchen, vegan dressings and sauces, how to make cheese substitutes, ingredients to add flavor to your recipes, and is a good primer on how to cook vegan or vegetarian. We eat 95% vegan, but sometimes, especially in this pandemic, a little cheese just tastes good. When we have non vegan house guests, we tend to be more vegetarian to accommodate them. We live in a rural, big seafood area, and vegan restaurant food is a dinner salad, so maybe we just tend to be more flexible.

The book arrived yesterday, and I am looking forward to trying many of the recipes. I like the “Why of his recipe works” section at the beginning of each section. It gives hints and explanations of why the method and/or ingredients were used. And often I it tells me when a substitution can or shouldn’t be used.

There are pictures of many of the recipes, many recipes from international cuisines, and lots of good ideas! My kids are getting this cookbook for Christmas, too.
