This book has recipie offerings suitable for vegetarians and flexitarians alike! People have many reasons for choosing to follow a diet that’s more plant-based, or completely so. This book takes into account the current inflation on the prices of meat and cites the facts of the unsustainable nature of the industry. Alongside this, the author will explore the benefits of utilizing more legumes, nuts, grains and other ingredients in recipes. The recipes that do feature optional meat ingredients won’t feature it as the center-stage flavor-giver. Rather, it’s used strategically to bring out dimensions in the other ingredients of the dish. Organized by meal type, the recipes in this book cover a wide array of hunger levels and occasions, including sweet treats —  all vegetarian, with some optional meat additions. (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
