• ‘Six Healthy Veggie Menu Plans’ –seven-day menus for adults, teenagers and children

Part 2 includes 80 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and desserts, like the ‘Shiitake, ginger and tofu hokkien noodles’ recipe illustrated here, making it deliciously easy to get all the nourishment you need from a healthy vegetarian or vegan diet.
