Lets go over the chapters, my faves and the TOC, Tips distributed in between, and Giveaway at the End of the post. As with my first book 40% of my earning gets donated to various Charities listed in the book.
Chapter 1 Peanut Butter & Coconut
When in a jiffy, I always make some PB sauce dishes. My faves are the Lentils in PB Sauce(of course!), Green curry fried rice (so vibrant!), Massaman Curry! Can’t eat peanuts, no worries, use my Peanut-free & Nutfree Peanut Sauce from the chapter. Options for Everyone!
Chapter 2 Sweet and Sour
Crispy Orange Cauliflower, Sweet and sour Tofu (pan fried with a few tsp of oil), Manchurian noodles, kung pao lentils, Teriyaki Lentil Balls oh yeah! So many Takeout meals in this chapter but without the deep frying. Refreshing and Delicious!
Tips:
- Most of the sauces are freezer friendly, so make ahead to reduce active time.
- Many recipes use veggies that you can always chop ahead and store. I chop up some onion, ginger, garlic, chili, peppers over the weekend as they are usually the base component in many Indian and other recipes.
- Premake or use premade ingredients like pizza sauce, red curry paste, pizza dough etc
- Read the recipe once entirely before proceeding. Once you cook a few recipes from the book, the flow gets easier and reduces the prep and active times.
- a bit of planning goes a long way!
Chapter 3 Masala & Saag
I mean, literally everything is a fave from this chapter. I will always be partial to Indian food and the next fave is Ethiopian. Lentil balls with Masala sauce and Ethiopian Jackfruit and lentil wot are a stand out. The curried Noodles are super quick fave. All of the sauces are freezer friendly. Always have masala sauces in the fridge!

Chapter 4 Buffalo and Firecracker
Hot Stuff! You can adjust the heat with using less of the hot sauce. The buffalo chickpea Pizza and firecracker Crispy Cauliflower, oh yeah! Buffalo anything with the book’s popular from scratch vegan ranch, perfect!.

Chapter 5 Burgers, Sandwiches, Loafs
The whopper Pecan Mushroom lentil burgers(so much flavor), Brown Chickpea jackfruit burgers (so hearty), Chickpea BBQ loaf, and the seed-full Quinoa bbq patties (no Beans). Mmmm.. Most patties can be made gluten-free, serve with gluten-free bread or wraps. The patties can be made into loafs and the loafs can be made into patties!
Review:
Chapter 6 Bowls and Hands
Jalapeno popper dip Wraps, Chickpea Veggie stew with baharat (so good), The buddha bowl with Nacho spiced Sweet potatoes(hell yeah!), Crispy Smoky Lentils with creamy greens bowl(so addictive). So much texture and Flavor!
Chapter 7 Deep Dishing
Are you ready for a gooey cheesy Deep deep dish pizza? With from scratch Mozzarella and your own pizza sauce (or use premade), Spinach Alfredo Pizza or make a sandwich melt!, Smoky Mac bake, Spinach artichoke Lasagna (all have nut-free options!). Once you have some of the components ready, the pizzas and bakes come together fairly quickly.
Chapter 8 Breakfast for Lunch
Frittatas (no tofu!), Chickpea chilaquiles, Samosa stuffed french toast is where its at. This chapter is all savory brunches. Some sweet options are in the Dessert Chapter.
Tips:
Many of the recipes are also very kid friendly as reported by all of you who have been cooking from the book. Adjust the heat as needed by reducing cayenne, black pepper, hot sauce and green chilies. Spices and herbs can change in flavor as they age, add more or less to preference when you taste.
Chapter 9 Sweet Note
Almond Butter Cheesecake Brownies, Blondies, Cupcakes, Tiramisu Fudge Bars! yuhum. And for a lighter fare, try the Lemon Chia Pudding, Seedy Chocolate Snack Bars!
Review:
Chapter 10 is some basics
The 20 min pizza dough is super quick. The Gluten-free pizza dough works out wonderfully as well. Can’t find good gluten-free tortillas or wraps? make the soft pliable gluten-free flatbread from this chapter.
Chapter 11 is Pantry, Tools and Index of Recipe groups based on Soy-free, Gluten-free, Nut-free!

I loved your 1 Pot Red Lentil Tortilla Soup. This cookbook is on my wishlist!
I love your blog, and I love cookbooks, and I would love to add this to my collection. My blog favorites are almond butter blondies and red lentil frittata.
I’ve turned vegan recently and your recipes are what I always try to recreate and cook. I’d love to get my hands on a copy of your book, since it’s so hard to find vegan recipes here in Bangladesh. So far the ones I’ve tried are – mushroom matar masala, Bombay potatoes and peas, and green curry with chickpeas and eggplant. ❤️ Can’t thank you enough for making my journey towards veganism so satisfying.
thats amazing!
This book looks great!!! I’m excited about the giveaway 🙂
I really enjoyed your Gobi Musallum recipe from the blog! It was a hit at our housewarming party 😋
Your African Peanut Lentil Soup is my go-to dinner when I want something warm and comforting. And I make the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars more often than I probably should. I’ve taken both your cookbooks out from the library multiple times but would love to have a copy to call my own!
I bought Everyday Kitchen a few months ago and have enjoyed every recipe I’ve tried, and that’s several. It’s my favourite Vegan cookbook, and I use several constantly. I follow your blog now and have tried recipes from it too. Thank you Richa for introducing me to a new food and especially to your recipes. Your sauces are “awesome”!!!!

I have been in love with your Chickpeas in Turmeric Peanut Butter Curry for awhile and it’s one of my go-tos, but I recently made your Gobi Musallam with Makhani Sauce and it’s amazing!! Every one I’ve made it for has LOVED it. I also love your cashew tofu stirfry for when I need a quick&easy dinner that doesn’t taste like a quick&easy dinner!! Your recipes never disappoint. Thank you!!
Omg, your Mexican pizza!! I discovered it and then thankfully you on Pinterest a few years ago. It is hands down one of my favorite recipes ever! So fun and easy to make too. I won’t like we make it at least every other week! I drool over all of your recipes. I’ve made quite a few and they are all superb. But when you put two of my favorite things together (Mexican food + pizza) you just can’t go wrong!
oh i had forgotten about that pizza, its so good!
Seriously, soo good! 🤤
I usually make the sindh mung dal from your first book; it has become a staple in our house. My picky-eaters love it and I never go wrong with it. The vegetable meatballs that go with the Manchurian sauce are also to die for🤤
Sweet potato latkes this Easter! The book looks amazing!
