Another Dinner is Possible

Another Dinner Is Possible is more than just a vegan cookbook—it’s a guide to developing a healthier relationship with the food we eat. The emphasis is on innovative simplicity: these recipes use easy-to-find and easy-to-prepare ingredients combined in unexpected ways. All the basics of everyday cooking are included for those just starting out in the kitchen (with detailed instructions and essential tips on everything from sharpening knives to choosing the right variety of potato), but even more seasoned chefs will find a surprising number of must-try recipes for original concoctions and vegan versions of old favorites. Soups, sides, salads, main dishes, snacks, breads, and sweets are all included, as well as a few bonus sections covering everything from surprising Korean recipes to vegan versions of Scandinavian cold fish dishes.

All recipes are written for 2 to 6 people but there is information about cooking on a large scale and recipes that are suitable for this are indicated throughout. The book is printed on high quality glossy recycled paper and is wire bound so stays flat on your work top whilst cooking. Illustrated throughout.

Just as valuable are the numerous original essays written by activists included in the book’s appendix, covering topics ranging from vegan parenting and Western nutrition to reducing waste, eating seasonally, growing-your-own, and cooking on a large scale. Plus articles and guides to reconnecting with the food we eat, how food affects us on all levels of our lives, and some things we can do to develop a better relationship to it.

Originally published in the United Kingdom, this new edition is expanded and updated for an American audience.
