Plant-based cooking that makes the most of your pantry with recipes that celebrate flavour and ingredients that nourish.

Plantbased is a complete guide to a rich vegan diet. Discover how to cook delicious and simple meals, ferment at home, and get the most from your grains, legumes, and vegetables.

“This book is one for plant-eaters looking to diversify what they do with veg. Inspired by Japanese and Israeli cooking techniques, these recipes aren’t complicated – they’re about making the most of simple, healthy ingredients.”

Miranda Larbi, Stylist magazine, UK

Alexander Gershberg’s book is an introduction to the versatility of plant-based cooking, enhanced by Japanese and Israeli techniques. His book makes extensive use of vegetables like parsnips, celeriac, kohlrabi, Jerusalem artichoke, and others that are often overlooked, with recipes that don’t require complicated methods or equipment. Plantbased’s recipes are easy to follow and focus on ingredients that build a healthy diet and a delicious dish.

“Exactly the dishes that you crave for as a vegan: warm, filling, nourishing, like a warm jacket on a stormy day”

Pay-Uun Hiu, food writer, VOLKSKRANT, The Netherlands

“I can recommend Plantbased to everyone who loves to cook wholesome vegan dishes that nourish the body and uplift the soul. I keep coming back to this rich source of inspiration whenever I am looking for a quick and easy weekday meal. The book also offers plenty of inspiration for hassle free festive dishes that I love to serve to friends and family who are not familiar with the wholesome plantbased kitchen. They often ask for the recipes since the eye catching dishes taste so good and feel so vibrant.”

The preparation time and amount of people is written clearly by each recipe, which is something we really appreciate.

We can full heartedly recommend this book for flexitarians, vegetarians and vegans! We are certain that these delicious recipes and the beautiful lay-out will make the home cook very happy! We have already chosen some nice recipes to make for our family and friends.”
