Читать книгу What Vegans Eat: Over 100 Simply Delicious Dishes - Brett Cobley - Страница 9

Why write this book?

‘What do vegans eat?’ This is a question that every vegan has been asked multiple times, or one that is often pondered by those yet to take the vegan plunge. There have even been songs written about it! But in this book I hope I’ve answered that question once and for all, with delicious, no-nonsense, simple and realistic recipes that are tasty and satisfying.

You might have friends who follow a vegetarian diet, which excludes meat, poultry and fish but usually includes eggs and dairy, but not realise that a vegan diet is more discerning when it comes to animal welfare. A vegan diet rules out all foods that derive from animals in any form, including dairy products, eggs, gelatine and honey.

There are so many reasons to go vegan – and amazing food is a big one! Discovering incredible flavours through simple ingredients, getting creative with your cooking and sharing the love of good food with family and friends is so rewarding. On top of this, you’ll be effortlessly showing compassion for animals and respect for other living creatures, while also experiencing the health benefits of cutting meat and dairy from our diets that have been proven time and again. The impact of animal agriculture on our environment – from deforestation, to the use of fishing nets – is one of the reasons why I am, and always will be, vegan. However, your diet and lifestyle is a very personal choice. So, no matter where you are in your journey to veganism, I hope that this will be the book that helps you cook with confidence and creativity for yourself as well as friends and family, and ultimately encourage you to ponder, why did I ever eat any other way?
