This dreamy sauce will remind you of the hot fudge sauces of your childhood, but this one is completely dairy-free and has way more redeeming qualities.


Italian Vinaigrette

Italian dressing is a favorite for many, yet most store-bought dressings have a lot of preservatives, additives, or oils.


Nummy Brownie Bites

It’s easy to fall in love with these brownie bites. They are a little crisp on the outside and are soft, moist, and dense on the inside, like fudgy brownies but so much healthier.

These chickpeas are delicious to nibble on or to use to top salads, pasta, soups, pizza, grains, and more! Leftovers can be lightly mashed or pureed with condiments for a sandwich spread.

This rich, festive dressing is delicious on salads or used as a dip for veggie sticks. It will add some extra zip to your veggies and make them taste anything but boring. It’s fabulous served with winter salads!

Potato Meets Egg Salad
Potato Meets Egg Salad

One day I had the idea to substitute cooked potato for the tofu in my original egg salad recipe. I loved the result! You can still use tofu if you prefer, or half of both (see tips).

Readers tell me often that this recipe, originally from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan, is better than any take-out! I decided it must be in this book too, with a few changes to simplify and save time.
