There is a whole host of people who have heard the arguments for eating more vegetables, who know the ethical and environmental issues around dairy and meat farming, but who don’t want to sign up to a whole new way of life. Virtually Vegan is for them!


With over 120 delicious recipes, Heather Whinney reveals how you can make proper, hearty food that just happens to be vegan.

And the recipes contain hints and tips for how you can, if you want, use dairy or meat on days when you want a day off from the vegan regime.


Why not try a classic breakfast of Spelt Pancakes with Cherries and Maple Syrup, a quick weeknight supper of Mixed Mushroom Laksa, or fun food to share with friends like Quesadillas with Avocado, Tomato and Green Chilli Salsa. And with a dedicated baking section, discover how to make each cake, cookie or ice-cream dairy-free (or what to do if you'd rather just make them with eggs). From Celeriac Dauphinoise to Parsnip Gnocchi, rice pudding to pavlova, discover how easy it is to eat vegan whenever you want.
