To live is to change. I now understand peace starts on my plate. My transformation to a vegan lifestyle over the past 2 years has been an exciting and interesting adventure in cooking as well as learning many other things about how my choices affect the rest of the world, the planet, the animals, my family and myself. In order to make my transition feel more normal, my family favorite recipes have all been transformed with vegan ingredients. One day, one recipe at a time, I learned how to replace meat, milk, cheese, and butter with mouthwatering plant based alternatives. I hope you enjoy the adventure as much as I have. Happy Cruelty Free Eating!

Cookbook Recipe
Vegan Baked Walnut Eggplant Burger
One thing about veggie burgers I've learned, you can use pretty much any kind of cooked vegetables, seasoned the way you like them, as long as you learn to bind ingredients together, holding power! I've experimented with various combinations, and this one has a great chewy texture, and holds together well. Of course the secret is the seasonings, as always.

Cookbook Recipe
Vegan Eggplant Pizza
Eggplant is one of most delicious, plant meaty and chewy vegetables that I have grown to love. It's very versatile and can be used in place of meat in many recipes. In this case, I used it in place of bread, to cut calories. It seems every time I eat if for dinner, I wake up 2 pounds lighter!

Cookbook Recipe
Juicy Vegan BBQ Eggplant Steaks
I'm crazy over eggplant, and it makes a sensational transition away from meat as a vehicle for delicious seasonings. I'm hoping by sharing this one it will inspire another compassionate person to be vegan.

Cookbook Recipe
Vegan Oatmeal Craisin Banana Nut Cookies
How to transform a standard oatmeal cookie to vegan. Using flax, banana, and applesauce in place of fats and sugar does the trick. No fat, no sugar...still delicious! Enjoy!

Cookbook Recipe
Carol's Vegan Crackers and Biscuits
I love experimenting and transforming especially unhealthful recipes into nutritious vegan choices that you never need to feel guilty for eating. Since I love crunching a good cracker, especially one that is packed with protein to go with my veggie main course, or dip. Grab some crackers on the go, too, in case you're not sure vegan choices will be available. One of these biscuits will fill you up all day!

Cookbook Recipe
Vegan Chocolate Pudding or topping
Avocado's are one of my all time favorites since I ditched dairy. The rich creamy texture can replace that delectable taste you might think you have to do without, when you become vegan. Not so! Don't believe it? Give it a try!

Cookbook Recipe
Delicious Creamy Cashew Milk
I buy nuts in large quantities to have on hand to make creamy sauces and milk. Be creative with flavoring; it's fun!

Cookbook Recipe
Cashew Cheese Sauce
I love rich and creamy dishes, and cashews are the vehicle to make that happen. Use this on pasta dishes, rice, over vegetables, and in lasagne for delicious 'ricotta.' Play around with the seasonings. Make it like this, or make it sweet for a dessert topping. Enjoy!

Cookbook Recipe
Vegan Lasagna
Every time I ask my family what they would like me to make, I get a request for lasagna. So, when I became vegan, I had to learn how to replace meat and cheese with delicious plant-based alternatives. I was a little concerned about pulling it off, but it turned out to be a grand success! Not only is it scrumptious, but it's good for the soul, knowing that it's cruelty free, and oh so healthful to eat!

Cookbook Recipe
Nutty Lettuce Wraps
Almond butter or walnut butter are one of my favorite things. I'm always thinking of ways to use nut butters with fresh veggies. Now, here's a wrap!

Cookbook Recipe
Vegan Pizzelles
My dear mother taught me how to make pizzelles when I was very young, using a recipe that has been handed down for generations. I have carried on the tradition and make them every year with my kids for Christmas. We always have a fun time, cooking, laughing and eating. So here is my vegan transformation recipe, just as good if not better. And, we don't have to give up our tradition.

Cookbook Recipe
Stuffed Avocado Kale Salad
Again, this is an easy idea, packed with nutrition. It's important to eat dark green leafy vegetables every day, along with red, orange and yellow ones!! You won't believe the wonderful aroma radiating throughout your kitchen as you process the Kale...heavenly!

Cookbook Recipe
Vegan Stuffed Peppers
I have fond memories of my eating stuffed peppers that my mother made which were so scrumptious. I had to try to veganize them. I'm sure she would be happy with this transformation.

Cookbook Recipe
Cantaloupe Apple Fig Breakfast- Nature's fast food!
Figs are one of my favorite fast foods, packed with sweet protein. I buy them wholesale in 25 lbs. boxes for the best deal, refrigerate, and they last all year.

Cookbook Recipe
Kiwi Cashew Banana Fruit Salad
I'm all for quick and easy healthful breakfasts to show how easy it can be to make the vegan transition. There's nothing better than Mother Nature's Fast Food.

Cookbook Recipe
Luscious Vegetable Plate
Think going vegan is hard? No way! I love keeping it simple and as close to natural as possible. And what could be more beautiful! It's a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach.

Cookbook Recipe
Tasty Green Smoothie
Smoothies are fun to make. Try out all kinds of combinations to suit your taste. I usually use half greens and half fruit for this kind of smoothie. Enjoy!

Cookbook Recipe
Apple Carrot Smoothie
It's fun to be creative and try all kinds of combinations of fruit and vegetables in a smoothie. I usually use what I can get in season at a a good price. This week Apples and Carrots were a deal, and also a very tasty combination!

Cookbook Recipe
Easy and refreshing uncooked Oatmeal and Fruit
Make this the night before and refrigerate for a quick, easy, nutritious and delicious breakfast.

Cookbook Recipe
Oatmeal Banana Carob Chip Cookies
I love oatmeal cookies. I wanted to make them vegan, and learned to use banana to hold things together in place of eggs. That's all I needed to get delicious cruelty-free results. Yes, the egg industry is beyond cruel. Watch Earthlings.com movie, to learn more. I dare you!

Cookbook Recipe
Black Bean Pasta with Lemon Butter

Cookbook Recipe
Smoky Paprika Hummus
Since becoming vegan I depend heavily on hummus, for a quick dip, or as a mayo replacement in sandwiches. Sometimes I thin it down and use as a creamy sauce over veggies or pasta. It's just versatile and tasty. Make a big batch and freeze in serving sizes for future fast food.

Cookbook Recipe
Chickpea Avocado Tomato Salad

Cookbook Recipe
Persimmon Walnut Smoky Maple Tempeh Breakfast
The closer to natural you eat, the more nutritious. Natures 'fast food' is beautiful, colorful, nutritious, and oh so very satisfying. This not a recipe per se, just a great idea to get you started on a compassionate vegan meal plan.

To live is to change. I now understand peace starts on my plate. My transformation to a vegan lifestyle over the past 2 years has been an exciting and interesting adventure in cooking as well as learning many other things about how my choices affect the rest of the world, the planet, the animals, my family and myself. In order to make my transition feel more normal, my family favorite recipes have all been transformed with vegan ingredients.

Thank you for your interest in VivaVeganGal's cookbook and for helping support the BakeSpace community of independent cookbook authors!

Here’s some quick information regarding how our cookbook platform works, along with a few tips for making the most of cookbooks you add to your library.

What is the Cookbook Café Platform?

Cookbook Café is our one-of-a-kind cookbook publisher, marketplace and reader. It empowers everyone to create, market and distribute a cookbook as both a web-based eBook and an iPad app. It also makes it incredibly easy for home cooks to discover and use amazing grassroots cookbooks they won't find anywhere else. Since 2012, we've published thousands of cookbooks authored by home chefs, nonprofit organizations, clubs, brands, etc. Our goal is to democratize cookbook publishing and make it easy to build an online library of amazing grassroots cookbooks.

How do I "download" a cookbook?

You don't need to "download" cookbooks or deal with any files. All of the cookbooks you select (free and paid) using Cookbook Café become available to you automatically on any device (computer, tablet or smartphone) whenever you’re logged-in to your free BakeSpace account.

When you see a cookbook you like, simply click the green "Get it Now" button. If you're not logged in to BakeSpace, you'll be asked to login (or join) so the cookbook can be added to your cookbook library. Once in your library, you can access the cookbook anytime, anywhere via BakeSpace.com, as well as our Cookbook Café iPad app.

While you're checking out cookbooks, also take some time to visit other parts of the delicious BakeSpace.com community where you can swap recipes and connect with others who share your passion for food and the culinary lifestyle.

Get ready to enjoy a uniquely smart and social cookbook experience!

Once a cookbook is added to your BakeSpace library, our proprietary recipe indexing technology makes it easy for you to find any specific recipe across all of your cookbooks… so there's no need to remember which cookbook contains that perfect recipe. In addition, you can connect directly with each cookbook author, leave comments/reviews and even ask questions about recipe substitutions, history, etc.
