THE WASHINGTON POST
I love everything about this book. It truly contains the very BEST of what vegan food can be.

THE KOREAN VEGAN
Perfect for patrons who are vegan-curious, looking for meatless Monday crowd-pleasers, or comfort food vegan-style.
LIBRARY JOURNAL
Rarely have I come across a cook book that has made me feel so joyful! Best of Vegan is beautifully written, has a funky design (the colour palette and photos) and even suggests songs to listen to while preparing each dish.
I love the collaborative aspect of the book, where gusts have been invited to contribute some of their favourite recipes. This gives a really diverse and international feel to the book. The recipes themselves are creative, tasty and not overly complicated.

STYLIST.CO.UK
For me, finding especially tasty new vegan recipes (ones that aren’t the same ol same) has been really challenging. A lot of blogs and social media recipes don’t really have broad selections, nor do they have really tasty options. But this cookbook has both, and there are so many different recipe options in this book that come from all around the world: from sweet to savory to spicy, and everything in between. I’m really excited to make this book my go-to!
