Ageless Vegan

September 15, 2018

Following up By Any Greens Necessary, nutritionist Tracye McQuirter, along with her mom, Mary McQuirter, offers a standout collection of recipes. In describing the journey toward finding a black vegan community, the authors exude warmth and never lecture, even while offering occasional health advice. They are candid about their hit-or-miss experiments with seasoning; after years of practice they offer expertly seasoned recipes such as roasted sweet potato and black bean bowl with lime cilantro vinaigrette and black bean soup with avocado and cashew sour cream. Creative dressings for roasted vegetables elevate simple dishes such as roasted carrots and broccoli. While an excellent guide for beginning a vegan diet, those interested in eating less meat overall will also enjoy. Included are lists of kitchen tools, advice for stocking the vegan pantry, and a sample of what the authors usually eat in a given day. VERDICT With its appetizing flavor variations, this approachable cookbook raises the standard of plant-based cuisine.
