Vegan in the House Book Review
If you are searching for ways to add more plant-based meals to your diet, or you know someone who is Vegan and would like to be able to prepare foods they will enjoy too, Vegan in the House is a great book to invest in. Not only does it include more than 100 recipes, it also includes options to make these Vegan Recipes work for meat-eaters and other diet followers.
Within many of the recipes there will be ‘flex it’ boxes which include suggestions on how to make the recipe work for other diets. When a flex-it option is included it is overlayed in the margin of the image. Some recipes also include a section for ‘the good stuff’. It provides additional information about an ingredient and how it is beneficial to your diet.
Along with the recipes, Vegan in the House also includes a lot of great information about Veganism. It explains how to meet your dietary needs with Vegan options.
What does it mean to be a Vegan?
Vegans exclude all animal products from their diet. This means Vegans do not eat meat, fish, dairy, eggs, or any product which includes an ingredient that has come from an animal.

Thank you for the review. We have a vegetable garden so we have many vegetarian meals. Always great to gather some new recipe ideas.
Thank you so much for this review! I really appreciate the detail and getting to peak into the book – it really helps with knowing whether you want to try out a cook book. I’m trying to add more veggie options and knowing that this book has the Flex-It feature that will help me make it easier for my husband to approach these meals is wonderful! I can’t wait to get a hold of my own copy!
Yum! that Mexican quinoa salad looks so good.
