This actually looks REALLY GOOD.

It is easy to look at, visually appealing, and laid out in such a way that it is easy to use. It doesn't waste your time with a bunch of boring stories you don't care about or go over basics that you already know. What it DOES do it make vegan meal prep look less daunting, and it makes the recipes look satisfying and like something you look forward to eating.

This book has absolutely everything I want from a recipe book. I am a reluctant cook with a gluten sensitive tummy so I was thrilled with how easy this book made cooking. It provides you with a shopping list, clear instructions and clearly shows information such as allergies and calorie counts. I wish all cook books were like this. It takes almost any sort of thinking out of the task and lets you enjoy the process of cooking and eating the meals!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Firstly this book is colourful, well set out and shows mouth watering dishes all Vegan style.
The book shows at the beginning what equipment and cupboard essentials you will need to use it effectively. Each weekly menu has a shopping list and a set of prepping instructions to follow and covers breakfast, lunch, snacks and tea time in each weekly menu. The book also lists mix and match menus and singular menus too so it covers meals not only for familys but for individuals too.
I really enjoyed this and can't wait to put some of the menus into practice and prep too.

Vegan Yack Attack’s Plant-Based Meal Prep is the perfect gift for a vegan in your life or for yourself. It is filled with beautiful photos and great recipes. The layout of the book and the recipes are easy to follow. I love the organization of the meal prep- grocery lists, weekly plans, and step-by step instructions to make your meal prepping as efficient as possible. I’ve already made the rice pudding and big batch of the vegetable scrap broth to start my winter off right!

Thank you Jackie Sobon, Quatro Publishing Group-Fair Winds Press and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Going on my Christmas list.

Great little book of easy to follow food preparation. The step by step tips from shopping to food prep makes healthy eating a pleasure and so easy rather than a chore, to fit in to most lifestyles and makes your week easier.
Lovely recipes too for delicious and simple healthy eating. For everyone, not just those following a plant based diet.
I would recommend this book especially to my students to encourage them to start life planning ahead without much trouble to make eating healthily a real option in their lives.

I started to be a vegan just a few weeks ago and I was so afraid that i would do it wrong in some way.
But this book helped me.

So many amazing tips and receipts.
I’m in love.

Great information on meal prepping for plant based meals. Meal prepping is very important in our busy lives these days. I really like that there is a meal prep for one person and not a whole family per usual and it included a menu and shopping list. I will definitely be referencing this. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was a neat book, especially as lots of people, vegans included, love meal prep to make life easier. The book has a great variety in the recipes, which makes it more interesting.

This is a great book for using a variety of methods and recipes for keeping the fridge well stocked and having your meals well planned ahead. Sometimes this is quite difficult for a vegan diet. The author not only provides recipes. but also meal plans and shopping lists, and all of these are adaptable and interchangeable. The photographs are mouth watering, and I just wished there were more of them. I thought it was brilliant the way there were sheet pan recipes, recipes for the instant pot and even for the freezer. The only downside for me is that the recipes themselves were not as appealing as I had hoped. But overall this is a very good, and informative book.

Vegan Yack Attack’s Plant Based Meal Prep was much more than I expected. As well as giving you tips on how to make meal prepping easier, there are also so many weekly plans.. plans for single people, couples, mix and match, kid friendly food ideas etc. Although not every single recipe was to my taste (which is to be expected), it’s still full of amazing recipes and I can definitely see myself using some of most of their weekly plans.
I really love the style of this book, from the fonts that are used to the photos of the food.. it is all very aesthetically pleasing. Whether you’re looking to meal prep or just want some new recipes ideas, I would highly recommend.

This is a great guide to meal planning and preparation. It makes things easy and do-able and takes away the overwhelming feeling of planning vegan meals.

As I pondered the concept of this cookery book, I realised that should I want or need to fill my refrigerator with five day’s worth of what are effectively ready meals, albeit healthy, nutritious and frankly, delicious, I would have no idea how to go about it. Now, I’m a confident and competent cook but fifteen meals is a lot of cooking in one day! So this is where Vegan Yack Attack’s Plant-Based Meal Prep comes in handy. Also, there is more to this book than the prepping menus.

The first couple of chapters follow the usual recipe book formula, one selling the benefits, one listing store cupboard essentials, another listing basic equipment. I like these chapters as they make me feel a little smug when I can tick off most of the items.

From then on, Sobon presents a selection of weekly menus, categorised by ease, number of ingredients, time, free froms etc. There is a shopping list and prepping guidelines. Each week’s menu features breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks and full details on how to prep all of them in one session. You will end up with five identical breakfasts, five identical lunches and five identical dinners but I guess this is the only option if the whole convenience thing is to work.

However, there are mix and match menus and also stand alone recipes and having followed a plant-based diet for over forty years, I can honestly say that some of these are absolutely scrumptious. Of course, there is no need to cook enough for five, so I reduced the quantities just to try some, although the Smoky Sweet Potato Soup is so good it’s worth making enough for ten!

I love the photographs and I understand that Sobon is an accomplished food photographer. I wonder if she could make my soup look as good as hers…

Thank you to NetGalley and Fine Wind Press for the Advanced Reader Copy of the book, which I have voluntarily reviewed.

This is a great cookbook for vegans, like myself, who are overwhelmed with meal planning. So many vegan recipes have lots of ingredients, so it can be hard to compile a good grocery list. This book breaks down week by week what the menus and grocery lists are, plus there are many colorful pictures and variations if someone wants to personalize their menu. Everything is broken down and organized well so that even the most inexperienced cook can follow along, and the recipes look amazing. Can't wait to try some of these out!
