Vegan Recipe Books

More and more people are catching on that processed, fast and junk foods do not nourish or serve our bodies in any positive way. Many are learning and turning to a vegan diet or at least incorporating some vegan meals into their daily regime in order to improve their health. I think the biggest drawback for anyone trying a vegan recipe is the fear that it will taste bland or that they will miss their animal protein. But there are oodles of recipe books on the market that provide not only healthy meals, but amp them up with scrumptious flavors. Here are two new vegan books that may inspire you to create some yummy plant-based meals for your family.
