The Complete Plant-Based Cookbook for Beginners 2025

What does it mean to eat plant-based? A plant-exclusive plate is fresh and vibrant: the centerpiece is veggies and legumes, accompanied by hearty grains, creamy nut-based sauces, and juicy pieces of fruit. The plant-based plate is abundant and so good for you, but switching to a plant-based diet and lifestyle comes with many questions: Is it expensive? How do I press tofu? What's the deal with soy, salt, oil, and sugar?
