From Anna about Abundance …

Abundance is the culmination of the best of the best of my seasonal recipes enhanced with everyday plant-based essentials made from scratch with whole foods. Inspired by the plant kingdoms abundance, the recipes you will find in this book are what I feed my family every day. I strive to make plant-based food accessible, easy, healthy and delicious, recipes that you will come back to time and time again.

This is a compendium of plant-based recipes, the everyday basics that are my fridge and pantry staples which I literally make every week. If you are vegetarian, vegan, plant predominant or just super keen to eat more plants, you have come to the right place. I have even gone so far as making plant protein meat alternatives out of natural ingredients without any unnecessary additives and preservatives, that are super tasty and hit the spot for smoky cravings, and are there for you if you just want to give the kids burgers or nuggets and chips for dinner. The options for making plant milk, cheese, butter, cream amongst many others from scratch are there if you want it, also every recipe can be made fully plant-based and gluten-free.

Eating with the seasons ensures you are getting optimal nutrition, as nutrients are at their highest in foods harvested when they are ripe, it is also far more cost effective.  Eat a rainbow every day is my mantra and within these pages are a plethora of vegetable dishes of every colour, vibrant and appealing that will make your mouth water and your tummy happy, all nutritionally balanced, healthy and inspired by food from all over the world. Plants are my muse and creating amazing food is my passion, I weave love, care and ease into every dish, making recipes that utilise natures abundance throughout. Plants have everything the body needs to live an active healthy life, nourished and in optimal condition. Vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and fruits contain essential fibre, minerals and vitamins which our bodies turn into energy which in turn make us thrive and feel great!

Every meal of the day is taken care of, from breakfast and brunch dishes to sweet baking and desserts, the salads and soups sections are extensive. Whether you are after a quick easy bread recipe or a meal to share with family and friends, the light meals and mains sections have the full range of fresh vibrant summertime fare to cosy winter comfort foods and everything in between.

You’ll know from my previous posts that I’m a big fan of Anna – she is such an inspiration with her delicious healthy recipes and incredible knowledge of edible weeds, seaweeds and flowers. The pictures included here are from Abundance. I love the look and sound of these Hasselback Potatoes …

“It’s that time of the year when a delicious roast dinner to warm your belly when it’s cold outside is just what the doctor ordered and these Stuffing Stuffed Veggies with Hasselback Potatoes, Ale and Miso Gravy, Yorkshire Puddings and Garlic Greens won’t disappoint that’s for sure.

The stuffing is a wholesome herby mash up of plant-based proteins, the gravy is to die for and if you haven’t tried Yorkshire puddings drowned in gravy you’re missing out!”

Abundance has a plethora of your favourite comfort foods all plant-based, gluten-free and packed with flavour.
