Product Description

Veganism, the animal-free diet, is here to stay. And Dreena Burton, author of the bestselling The Everyday Vegan, is here to show you how the decision to "go green" doesn't mean you have to sacrifice nutrition or flavor, and in fact will make you and your family feel healthier and more alive.

Dreena and her husband became parents three years ago, and their decision to raise their daughter as vegan from birth has made the need for an animal-free diet that is fully nutritional all the more crucial. But as Dreena demonstrates in Vive le Vegan!, there's no need to panic: there are simple methods and delectable ingredients you can use that will allow you—whether you're single or have a family—to become vegan without having to be a rocket scientist. And who said that vegan meals lack pizzazz? Not when you can make: Berry Hemp Smoothies Fresh Jicama and Cucumber Slaw Hearty Roasted Tomato Stew Carrot-Shitake Spring Rolls Chipotle Veggie Bean Burritos Moroccan Chickpea Patties Apple Cardamom Cake with Creamy Lemon Maple Frosting The recipes in Vive le Vegan! also don't always require soy, given recent concerns about over-consumption, and many feature whole grains and hemp. They are also disarmingly easy to prepare. So it's time to give up your qualms about the vegan lifestyle and celebrate its vivid possibilities. Vive le vegan!

Great book
I purchased this book just before Xmas and have already made quite a number of the recipes. Without fail they have been a total success! We have enjoyed everything I have made from this book and it will certainly be in constant use in my kitchen.I am now going to order Dreena's first book The Everyday Vegan as I am so impressed with Vive.

Great - (Non-vegan reviewer)
I bought this book for some inspiration - I have an infant with suspected milk allergy and didn't want to rely on soya products, due to recent reports. No-one in our family is a vegan. We are enjoying the great tasting, healthy food. The accompanying notes are very useful and I am really enjoying cooking with the new foodstuffs that the author has given me the confidence to try out. Recommended.

Fabulous stuff
As soon as I flicked through this book I knew I had to get straight out to the shops to buy some ingredients! There were half a dozen recipes that sounded so good I just couldn't wait to make them!

The recipes that I've made so far (including the Chickpea Ratatouille and Carob Chip Muffins) have been absolutely delicious and haven't needed any modification at all. They cook in the time the author states and feed the number stated too (no miniscule portions). I love this book!!!
