I am not even close to being a vegetarian, let alone a vegan; but I was interested to see how this concept would fit in with my life. The author makes it easy to understand why this was a good choice for her, and has made me realise that I need to add more colour to my diet, the pictures of the various meals look wonderful. So, while I won’t be converted to the vegan way any time soon I will definitely be adding a lot more variety to my diet, probably using some of the recipes in this book. And if I am healthier as a result ... who knows?

This looks like a fabulous book for those interested in going Vegan or if you just want to eat a few more veggies. Filled with not just recipes but weekly meal plans and shopping lists, how to's, what to keep stocked in your cupboards and all things mindfulness, exercise and focusing on what we put in our bodies. This taster shows that the book is an all-rounder with information about mind, body and food.

If you are thinking of beginning a vegan lifestyle but don’t know where to start, this is the book for you. A great book for beginners as it details what to buy, how to store it and how to prepare it, to make your vegan week ahead as effortless as possible.

Although not currently a vegan, but vegetarian, I was brought up vegan and still have a largely vegan (no eggs, barely any dairy), my family are vegan and I’ve been brought up ina culture that is largely centered around non-meat based dishes. As a result this book is nothing really new to me, the recipes are basic and largely what I already cook, and I’ve not really learnt anything new from it.

I downloaded it out of curiosity and the possibility of interesting recipes, but it certainly lacks the latter. My cook book collection is pretty vast, but this is unlikely to be a new addition.

I'd been meaning to change my diet for a while and not just because I've learned I have gallstones. Eating more healthily really is a priority for me and has become one of my New Years Resolutions! I must say that the recipes in this book look super yummy and feature a myriad of items I would never have thought were possible to eat on a vegan diet. It is a simple, easy to follow guide that is accessible to everyone, especially those who have no prior experience of the lifestyle and don't know where or how to start.

This is the definitive guide to plant-based living and it doesn't stop at just providing the recipes; it also gives helpful information on where to purchase food economically, helpful hints and tips on advance preparation (as this is generally the part that takes up the most time and not the actual cooking) and meal plans help you plan in advance what you are going to eat. Of course, this authority on the plant-based lifestyle doesn't necessarily only belong in the library of someone with plans to be vegan, as it would also be a go-to resource for those looking to add more fruit and vegetables to their diet. New year, new you! I know I will be making extra-large portions of the Blueberry-Banana ice-cream - yum - and there are plenty of other beautiful sounding dishes to try, the cherry pancakes also sound incredible! Highly recommended.

Many thanks to Bluebird for a copy.

My download only covers up to halfway through the meal plan, but that's enough for me to know this is a fascinating book. It not only deals with vegan meals, it goes into lifestyle changes like mediation as well, and it does it without being preachy. The meal plans and recipes are detailed without being too overly pedantic, and there's plenty of options for changes and substitutions depending on taste, price and what's available at the time. Perfect for anyone thinking of trying the lifestyle or anyone who's already a vegan and is looking for new ideas and recipes. A brilliant read.

I can honestly say I’ve never read such an enthralling cook book in my life.
The author recounts on what turned her to a vegan lifestyle and I can see why they did .
There is so much detail on what a vegan diet is all about and I really had in the back of my head that being a vegan would just be eating fruit and vegetables.....boring.....no it’s not this way of eating is so colourful and the recipes in this plan sound absolutely amazing .
I’m definitely going to give this plan a try.
Thankyou.

A healthy and very organised gude to trying vegan food, with tasty meal ideas and guides on how to prepare and save fruit and vegetables.

I appreciate how the author has considered budgets and provided a section on how to live a cost effective plant based lifestyle. I will definitely be giving some of the meals in the plan a try!

I got this book and was excited to read it straight away. I’m coeliac and wondered if I would be able to follow this plan easily. The answer is yes I can. I love the way gluten free options are given and discussed all the way through, this is really refreshing for me.
The book is a true lifestyle plan not just a change in diet and it has meditation tips, what is best for you, moving, exercise etc.
You get a shopping list each week which helps you organise and again there are lots of hints and tips. Each day is set out with a menu and how to make each course. There is also a quote at the start of each day which is very positive and can help you focus on the day ahead. At the end of each week there are questions asking you to think about any changes with how you felt from the change in diet etc..
I think you have to be a little organised and plan some of the meals at the beginning of the week however you do have all the information you need to do this. I certainly feel like it’s something I could keep up once I had followed the full 28 days but I do think it would take some focus at the beginning.
Great book to start the new year.

I am by no means close to being a vegan nor a vegetarian but a book that’s laid out like this would certainly encourage me to adopt more vegan friendly recipes into my lifestyle.

This is not a patronising book in any way but a gentle lifestyle book that encourages a whole lifestyle change and addresses other methods in life such as meditation and journaling which fits in with a life reset.

The shopping lists and storage guides were a great help. There’s definitely some recipes I will try.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for allowing me the pleasure of an arc in exchange for my honest review.
