In Simple Goodness, Makini Howell offers readers a thoughtful, familiar, good-food centered approach to vegan cooking that is sure to please every palate at the table-from the most experienced foodie among us to the youngest. Developed over her life as a vegan, from childhood with her father's guidance to a professional chef, Howell's recipes reflect a vibrant, layered, and accessible approach to vegan cuisine that draws on the many cultural influences that make up the rich American landscape-from nostalgic, like the Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Pie, to comforting, like the Slow Cooker "Chicken" Noodle Soup, to exciting, like the Salvadorian stew filled pot pies. They are satisfying, fill up a full plate, and feed a group, with organization that follows a natural progression from snacks and breakfasts to lunches and weeknight dinners. Simple Goodness is aimed at home cooks who are experimenting with a vegan diet, cooking for friends and family who are discovering vegan food, and with a sweet nod to the little people in your life. These recipes will give readers a deeply satisfying and delicious start-to-finish plant-based meal at home.

The Vegan Kitchen


Book Description

In recent years, the vegan lifestyle has gained immense popularity, and for good reason. A vegan diet, which excludes all animal products, offers numerous health benefits that can transform your life. Whether you are looking to improve your overall well-being or are simply seeking a new and exciting way to eat, embracing a vegan diet can be a game-changer. One of the primary advantages of a vegan diet is its positive impact on your health. Research has shown that individuals who follow a plant-based diet have lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer. Vegan diets are typically low in saturated fat and cholesterol, while being rich in nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. By eliminating meat and dairy from your diet, you can reduce your risk of chronic diseases and enjoy a longer, healthier life. Another benefit of a vegan diet is weight management. Many people struggle with weight issues, but a vegan diet can provide a natural solution. Plant-based foods tend to be lower in calories and higher in fiber, promoting satiety and preventing overeating. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes are staples of a vegan diet and are packed with essential nutrients while being low in fat. By adopting a vegan lifestyle, you can achieve and maintain a healthy weight without feeling deprived or hungry. Additionally, a vegan diet can contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly world. Animal agriculture is a leading cause of deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and water pollution. By choosing plant-based alternatives, you are reducing your carbon footprint and helping to preserve our planet for future generations. Vegan diets also save countless animals from suffering in factory farms, fostering compassion and kindness towards all living beings. Finally, a vegan diet can open up a world of culinary possibilities. Contrary to popular belief, vegan recipes are anything but boring. With a wide range of fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and plant-based proteins, you can create delicious and flavorful meals that will satisfy even the most discerning palate. From hearty stews and vibrant salads to decadent desserts, the vegan kitchen offers limitless creativity and taste.
