The UK’s leading vegan charity Viva! has unveiled its new cookbook Everyone Can Cook Vegan by Food and Cookery Manager, Maryanne Hall. Ahead of the festive season – and with one in four people in the UK no longer eating meat – the cookbook is the ideal gift for foodies, vegans, vegetarians or anyone looking to expand their culinary skillset.
Everyone Can Cook Vegan was written to revolutionise the world of vegan cooking, dispelling the myth that plant-based cuisine is expensive, overly complex or inaccessible. The book contains 100 recipes that you will actually use every day, inspiring readers to delete their takeaway delivery apps and get into the kitchen.

An abundance of veganised British classics adorn the pages, such as a Cheesy Broccoli & Tomato Quiche, Vegan Steak and Ale Pie and a Classic Victoria Sponge. The culinary influences don’t stop at the British Isles, with Maryanne’s international travels providing inspiration for recipes such as Gambian Peanut Stew, Tofu Bahn Mi and Massman Curry.

Vegan dessert options have long been considered bland, but the choices in Everyone Can Cook Vegan are anything but. The Gooey Chocolate Fudge cake is an indulgent recipe that will satisfy any sweet tooth, while the No Bake Millionaire’s Shortbread can be easily whipped up for celebrations, bake sales or simply late-night sugar cravings. The White Chocolate & Raspberry Cheesecake is the perfect combination of sweetness and creaminess and will have even those skeptical of veganism praising the marvels of plant-based cooking.
