Here’s how to make plants the center of every meal. We’re talking veg-centric main courses with main character energy.

From decadent and delicious plant-based lasagna with creamy béchamel sauce, to hot honey halloumi burgers and lemon drizzle cookies. This is big flavor, without compromise, and guilt-free eating that benefits you and the planet.

We all want to incorporate more plants into our diets and know that variety is key when it comes to our health – but every meal doesn’t need to be super-loaded, super-food salad when what you’re really craving is a bowl of steamy pulled “pork” noodles.

With a background in plant-based recipe development, Elly Smart aka @ellysplate has some of the smartest tricks for incorporating highly nutritious ingredients into your diet without you even noticing. She is a champion of flavor and each recipe is protein-packed and balanced for ultimate vegan comfort. Featuring over 75 main course dishes to take you through the week from 10 minute dinners to plant-centric, dinner party centerpieces.
"Whether sought by a long-time vegan for accessible recipes or by someone curious about beginning a plant-based eating journey, this cookbook will fly from library shelves" - Library Journal
Having trained as a lawyer, Elly Smart quit a career in law to pursue a life in food. Elly has worked in vegan donut shops as well as alongside Gaz Oakley as a food economist on his YouTube channel before starting as a Development Chef at The Vurger Co. where she developed their whole menu, creating best-selling specials, and later developing a product range which sold in Ocado. Elly became a full-time content creator in 2023 where she has focused on creating comforting food without restriction. View titles by Elly Smart
