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 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!

Loaf this weekend and can NOT wait to make pumpkin cornbread. But seriously? Chilaquiles and crispy lentils? Ethiopian wot? I am buyin this book no matter what, but winning one would be even cooler! 💚
While every recipe I’ve tried of yours is a hit in my house, I’ll choose the one I’m currently craving haha. My whole family just loves your Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies with Coconut oil! They are super easy to make and come out with that perfect slight crisp on the outside and a melty, chewy inside <3
I have done your Pad Thai and it has been my to go recipe for the past two months. My husband and I are separated because of his work for a year now and before he left, we used to eat Pad Thai and watch sunset together. So I wanted to learn how to make it to bring those memories and your recipe was the winner:) Thank you!
I’m buying your cook book anyway. I’m a vegetarian transitioning to vegan and your recipes have been immensely helpful. I truly enjoyed your mango curry tofu, mocha chocolate cake, and I’ll make anything with okra, eggplant, or lentils!!
awesome! loads of lentils in all books and the blog
I made your vegan mashed potatoes recently and they were fabulous! Can’t wait to run through more of your recipes. 🙂
Vegan Chocolate Cookies with Coconut Oil. We love it. Turns out perfect .
I made your chickpea turmeric peanut butter curry. It was delicious and creamy! Then I did variations with the protein and tried yellow split peas, black eyed peas and red lentils. They all turned out great! The red bell pepper adds a peppery zinginess to the recipe. Say hello to Chewie Puff!
Instant Pot Lasagna Soup – help me finally fall in love with my Instant Pot!
I just tried your Thai fries! I am newly vegan, about four months, and you’re cookbooks have helped mak the transition easier! I just got your Indian cookbook and it is a tasty vault of knowledge! I am so appreciative of your recipes and your help towards charities! I’d love these copies! Keep up the recipes! So good!
Gahhhhhhh! I want this book so bad!!! I LOVE your black pepper tofu and there’s a peanut noodle recipe that we make regularly. Can’t remember if they’re from the blog or when I borrowed the book from the library. Either way….
