About this ebook

“Proves that going plant-based doesn’t have to mean going without—armed with a positive attitude, playful wit, and an array of mouthwatering recipes!” —Angela Liddon, New York Times–bestselling author of The Oh She Glows Cookbook

With her first cookbook, But I Could Never Go Vegan!, Kristy Turner deliciously refuted every common excuse to prove that, yes, anyone can go vegan. Now, But My Family Would Never Eat Vegan! serves up 125 all-new, scrumptious, satisfying recipes—organized around 20 too-familiar objections to eating vegan as a family:

• Don’t have time to cook elaborate family dinners? Whip up an easy weeknight solution: Quick Cauliflower Curry, BBQ Chickpea Salad, or Cheesy Quinoa & Veggies.
• Worried about satisfying the “meat and potatoes” eaters? Wow them with Lazy Vegan Chile Relleno Casserole, Jackfruit Carnitas Burrito Bowl, or Ultimate Twice-Baked Potatoes.
• Hosting a special event? Try Pizzadillas for game day, Champagne Cupcakes for bridal showers, Maple-Miso Tempeh Cutlets for Thanksgiving, or Herbed Tofu Burgers for your next potluck.

Easy-to-follow, bursting-with-flavor recipes—free of all animal products!—make it easier than ever to please vegans and non-vegans at gatherings. Even your most skeptical relatives will be begging for more!

“Dishes that will make even your non-vegan family members beg for second helpings.” —The Nest

Ratings and reviews

So many recipes! As a vegan I get bored easily but this book has given me so much. Everything I have made has been delicious and many recipes I have taken and made my own by adding or subtracting a few ingredients. I can't wait to try them all! Some recipes can take a little longer than the indicated time the first couple of times you make them but once you have made it before it goes quicker.

This book helped me take the next step to becoming vegan!
