Practically Vegan: More Than 100 Easy, Delicious Vegan Dinners on a Budget: A Cookbook

I bought this book when it came out and it has become a trusted source of delicious recipes, which can easily be modified to remove oils if you follow a whole foods plant based diet, without affecting the final result. I thought I would list some of my favorite recipes in the book, which I had made countless times: * Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus Pasta -- this recipe is brilliant in its simplicity and such a time saver. Sometimes I use fresh tomatoes instead of sun dried tomatoes to lower the sodium content. If I have time, I make my own hummus with no oil added. I have also made this with a navy bean "hummus" to make a vegan "Alfredo" sauce. * Cheesy Tofu Scramble - this is the best tofu scramble I have eaten. I like to add half a shredded carrot and some shredded kale when cooking to add more veggies. It makes for a killer breakfast burrito. * Smashed Pinto Beans with Tahini - I am usually not a fan of pinto beans but the addition of tahini softens the taste of the pinto beans and makes it creamy. It is delicious spread on tostadas or as a base for vegan nachos. *Eggplant Parmesan Meatballs - another tasty recipe that is a little more labor intensive. It works without the addition of oil. * Artichoke Pinto Burgers - a great alternative to the usual black bean burgers. The taste is unique and the texture a little meat-like thanks to the artichokes. * Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing - this is my staple when I want to make a kale salad. * Butternut Squash Tahini Curry - another brilliant recipe where you get the consistency and flavor of Thai curry but without using any coconut milk. I add a can of chickpeas and a cubed block of tofu to add more protein.

Easy to follow recipes, beautiful photographs, warm & personal commentary accompanying each recipe describing why it is special to Nisha and her family, or how it came about. She writes like she speaks in her shorts/reels, funny and personable. The recipes are delicious and if you don't like an ingredient, (I hate cilantro!) she offers substitutions for each recipe.

I've had this cookbook for a few weeks now and have cooked a number of recipes. My family has enjoyed them and they are all easy to do (even on a week night) with ingredients that I already have on hand, which I think is great. On the negative side, I've had this book for under a month and the cover has already come off - it was apparently very weakly glued on and just detached (no ripping or tearing, just fell off). I'm very careful with books, so this seems to be just shoddy manufacturing.

Absolutely amazing and beautiful book!! I bought Nisha’s book after following her online and loving her recipes. The book is organized very well in categories that most will search for: pasta, curry, beans, burgers, “comfort food!”, sides, and for me most importantly-“dios, dressings & sauces! If you love middle eastern or Indian food, tasty and savory… you will love her book!! She has a great section on techniques & tips.. for a new plant based explorer it is fabulous! How to soak beans, cashews, all the basics about tofu and tempeh.. it’s my go to plant based book, thank you Nisha!! 🥦🍠🫐💚

I follow this author on YouTube and love her recipes and knowledge about nutrition.

Pre and post surgery, this book was and is helpful, well written, and contains delicious recipes. The additional materials which come with a purchase of this book (food journal+) enabled me to better comprehend my body's needs post removal of my gallbladder. Thank you.

I have been an ardent follower of Nisha for the last several years and was only too happy to know she had published a book. Her recipes are easy, healthy and filling. Her palate is versatile and tasty and her style not in the least intimidating. It is an absolute joy to discover her recipes as she is informative, fun and so approachable. A wonderful addition to our meals.

I started reading the book and found it to be very useful in cooking WFPB. But the pages just started to fall out. I'm returning and waiting for the spiral bound to go down in price before purchasing.
