A collection of over 100 simple, satisfying plant-packed recipes that are low on effort but BIG on flavour Loved for her quick and delicious recipes whipped up after a long day as a personal chef, Natalia Rudin has created a show-stopping cookbook full of her (mostly) plant-based recipes that are guaranteed to comfort, nourish and delight. With chapters that take less than 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour; slower recipes to savour at the weekend or with friends; meal-prep ideas to elevate your packed lunches; breakfasts to be enjoyed slow or on the go; and moreish treats to satisfy every sweet tooth, there is a recipe for every occasion- Smashed Miso Butterbeans and Crispy Soy Mushrooms Basil, Courgette and Pistachio Mafaldine Blistered Tomatoes and Chickpeas on Creamy Polenta Romesco Roasted Veg Quinoa Bowl Whipped 'Feta', Courgettes and Mint Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes with Date Caramel Chai Spiced Chocolate and Pecan Blondies Not exclusively vegan (although each recipe can be) Natalia takes cooking with plants to another level so that simple food feels posh, and posh food feels simple.
