Welcome Welcome to my first eBook. I am so excited to share these 31 plant based recipes with you. They not only taste amazing but also nourish your body. The key to this way of eating is to enjoy it! It is all about balance but the best bit is there is no right way or wrong way to enjoy a plant based diet. I want you to see this book as a celebration of all things you can eat, not of what you can’t. There are brownies, pasta, ice cream sundaes and so much more, and all of it you can enjoy without the guilt! When I first started this journey I wasn’t a great cook and I am definitely not a trained chef. Every recipe I make is a process of trial and error, and the result is that the majority of my recipes are actually pretty simple and don’t take that much time. I have worked my whole life and understand how hard it is to keep a balanced diet and juggle full time work but like I said the key is balance. If you have a few cheat meals every now and then it is not the end of the world. You shouldn’t dwell on it or beat yourself up. Just like you I get cravings for chocolate and bowls of pasta so I have created recipes that fit into that. The raw brownies are literally to die for and they disappear within minutes. All my recipes here are vegan, refined sugar free and low (or no) gluten. I use a number of different refined sugar substitutes such as Rice Malt Syrup, Agave Syrup and Xylitol, all of which you can find in your local supermarket or health shop. None of the ingredients are hard to find and I did this on purpose as eating well shouldn’t be made harder. Eating should be fun and I believe you should eat until you feel full. There is nothing worse than feeling constantly hungry. I hope the recipes inspire you to create a happier relationship with food and if you have any questions I would love to hear from you. Good luck this is a very exciting time!
