Bestselling authors Kathy Freston and Rachel Cohn join together to create a toolbox of resources to aid socially aware teens and young adults interested in adopting a vegan lifestyle. The Book of Veganish contains everything curious young adults need to help them navigate through the transition to a vegan lifestyle. The 70 simple recipes are perfect for those with tight budgets and rudimentary cooking tools (and skills). Filled with insights on the benefits of adopting a plant-based diet and how to best deal with parents and the rest of the nonvegan world, The Book of Veganish will allow existing and aspiring vegans to feel confident about their new lifestyle choices.

One easy vegan meal I love to make is pasta with roasted veggie and chickpea “sauce”. It’s a good way to use up whatever is in the fridge and pantry, and I like not having to spend a lot of time at the stove. A little lemon zest and lots of herbs to finish.
Spaghetti squash with red sauce, and these cookies is my ideal dinner. Yum!
I love grains, so the easiest vegan meal is a quinoa or other grain salad with kale, butternut squash, herbs and nuts.
Taco Salad is my favorite to make at home. So easy, filling and delicious!
My favorite easy meal is soup. =) With tons of veggies and legumes!
My favorite easy meal is bean chili. We eat a lot of chili!
I like rice and beans. Beans in the slow cooker
Vegetable soup in the crockpot.
