"I started eating a whole-food, plant-based diet over the summer, and while I knew my way around the kitchen making basics like salads, soups, and vegan banana bread, many of the recipes I made involved oil, sugar, and flour. Plant-Based Cooking Made Easy ($18, originally $20) was just released in December 2020 and has a great selection of over 100 delicious recipes. It showed me how easy cooking without those ingredients can be. I've made the Pumpkin Spice Scones and the Creamy Chickpea Curry, and I can't wait to try the Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Casserole." — Jenny Sugar, staff writer, Fitness
