You may notice that many restaurants have added bowls to their menu. A few short years ago the only meal you could get in a bowl was soup, oatmeal, or grits. Nowadays getting solid food in a bowl is trendy in the US.

The goal of the “bowl” dish is to get all the nutrients in a bowl piled in layers. Think, layers of flavor. If you haven’t tried it give it a go next time you are at a restaurant that serves meals in a bowl.

About Justin Kaye

Writing this book has been a very exciting experience to take on, and it is the result of spending years experimenting with healthy food choices over the years.

I’ve been a vegan for over 2 years now and it took me a while to get used to eating a whole, food plant-based diet and the tasty recipes that you will find in this book. But now brands like Tofurkey, Gardein, Beyond Meat, Tofutti, and so many more came out with meat substitutes that can make cooking a lot more fun, tasty, and quick!

In this book, you will find the total estimated macronutrient for each recipe. What are macronutrients? Macronutrients are nutrients required in large amounts, for example, protein, carbohydrates, and fats.

Macronutrients are essential in our diet because each macro plays a vital part in the human diet, especially for muscle building and weight loss. Switching to a whole food, Plant-based Vegan Diet was the best choice I made and I hope the recipes found in his book will help you perform better, recover faster, and feel great!
