30-Minute (or less!) Vegan Cookbooks for Busy Days
Chickpea Ramen with runny cashew egg (The 29-Minute Vegan)
Choosing 30-minute vegan cookbooks can transform your routine by removing the stress of lingering over a stove, when you’re short on time. These books strip away complex techniques and long ingredient lists, making healthy eating healthy and sustainable. And quick!
By cooking with basic ingredients like fresh produce, canned beans, quick grains and basic spices, you can turn a few basic store purchases into meals fit for a king!
Read up on food safety for people and pets (many foods are unsafe near animal friends). Before recycling tins, rinse/remove lids (or pop ring-pulls over holes) then step on the can to ‘pinch’ inner rims together, to stop wildlife getting trapped.
Although it’s good to compost food scraps, unless you have a food waste bin (turned into biogas), just bin allium scraps (onion, leeks, garlic, shallot, chives), citrus/tomato/rhubarb scraps and tea/coffee grounds. To avoid too much acid/caffeine affecting compost creatures.
