Most people struggle with plant based cooking for one simple reason. They remove the animal products but don’t replace them with balanced meals, good kitchen systems or a clear understanding of flavour. The result is repetition, confusion and meals that never quite come together.
This book fixes that by giving you a structure. It focuses on the three areas that make the biggest difference at home: the right equipment, how to build balanced plant based meals and how to approach global cuisines with confidence.
What You Learn in the Equipment Section
-
The exact knives, pans, blenders and tools used throughout the book
-
How to avoid wasting money on gear you don’t need
-
How to choose equipment based on function rather than trend
-
Clear visual examples so you understand what each tool is for
-
A beginner-friendly setup that works for everyday cooking
What You Learn in the Nutrition Section
-
How to build balanced plant based meals using protein, carbohydrates, fats and vegetables
-
How to combine food groups so meals are filling, nutritious and complete
-
Simple, reliable techniques for preparing tofu, tempeh, lentils, chickpeas, grains and vegetables
-
Over 15 foundation recipes that teach you how to cook these ingredients properly
-
A practical system for mixing and matching components to create endless meals
What You Learn in the World Cuisine Section
The second half breaks down four major cuisines: Italian, Indian, Middle Eastern and East Asian.
For each cuisine you get:
-
Key flavour profiles and core ingredients
-
Real techniques drawn from authentic cooking traditions (tadka, pasta-water emulsification, infused oils, etc.)
-
How to build mains, sides, soups and salads using the same principles
-
Full recipes with step-by-step photos so you can follow the process exactly
You learn dishes like Nonno’s Minestrone, Mushroom Arancini, Punjabi Chole Masala, Hyderabadi Biryani, Lebanese Lentil Soup, Crispy Chilli Tofu, Singapore-Style Noodles and many more.
Nothing complicated. Just clear methods and reliable recipes from the cuisines people cook most often.
