For you if
- You're hosting over the holidays and want to sit at the table, not stand at the stove.
- Vegans and vegetarians share your table.
- You like to prepare in small steps and follow a plan on the day.
Maybe not for you if
- You want to serve meat or fish.
- You're looking for a menu that comes together in an hour on the day itself. These menus rely on preparation in the days before.
From our kitchen
I am Verena, food photographer, recipe developer and cookbook author (published by GU). Since 2016 I have shared more than 500 tried and tested plant-forward recipes from our kitchen here. Every e-book is made with the same love: real recipes, real photos, tested by our family.
Common questions
Yes. 2 menus are vegan from the start, so they suit everyone at the table. The third is vegetarian; the book tells you for each course what to swap for the vegan route.
Depending on the menu, you spend about 70 to 100 minutes in the kitchen on the day, 20 to 35 of them after your guests arrive. Everything else is done in the days before, and the day plan tells you by the clock what happens when.
4 people. A table in the book gives you the quantities for 2, 6 or 8 guests.
