NO MEAT, ONLY PLANTS
A cookbook for vegans and anyone who wants more plants in their life, LEON Fast Vegan is all about delicious food, which just happens to be vegan. Whether you are looking for breakfasts or party food, weekday suppers or ambitious feasts, there is something here for everyone.
With 200 recipes, the book is packed with everything from breakfast and brunch dishes to sharing plates and party food, via quick suppers and slow-cooked recipes, and masses of sauces, dressings and nourishing sides, with a generous serving of desserts, cakes, ices and drinks to round off your meal. As ever, healthy fast food chain LEON takes inspiration from around the world, with recipes for vegan sushi, Mexican tacos, Vietnamese pancakes and American burgers. The emphasis throughout is on great flavour and keeping things simple.
