Evolving Vegan: Deliciously Diverse Recipes from North America's Best Plant-Based Eateries―for Anyone Who Loves Food
It’s safe to say that veganism is no longer just a trend. Lifelong vegans, part-time vegans, and the vegan curious are a diverse and eclectic group of people from all walks of life and backgrounds, and yet, there’s very little out there in mainstream media that reflects this new reality.
The Evolving Vegan cookbook celebrates both flavors and stories from a wide array of plant-based eateries all across North America, proving that a plant-friendly diet is truly accessible to all! Some of the recipes you will learn to make include:
-Sausage Shakshuka in a Skillet from the restaurant Chickpea in Vancouver
-Young Coconut Ceviche from the restaurant Rosalinda in Toronto
-BBQ Pulled “Pork” Jackfruit Sandwiches from the Butcher’s Son in Oakland, CA
-Indian Tofu Curry from The Sudra in Portland, OR
-Boston Cream Pie-Cake from Veggie Galaxy in Cambridge, MA
-Plus authentic Egyptian dishes from Mena’s mother, and many from Mena’s own SoCal home kitchen
Come travel with Mena to meet Cyrus Ichiza from Ichiza Kitchen in Portland, whose Taiwanese mother inspired him to share his Southeast Asian roots through authentically flavorful vegan dishes. Get a behind-the-scenes peek at the secrets of San Francisco’s Peña Pachamama, a Bolivian plant-based restaurant that serves national dishes like pique macho and aji de fideo.
Containing recipes from many different countries and cultures, and including helpful tips for lifelong vegans or flexitarians looking to expand their repertoire of vegan dishes, Evolving Vegan takes you on a food-based road trip to explore the vibrancy of veganism across North America.

Complicated recipes with obscure ingredients
There are plenty of interesting ideas in this book, but there are so many steps to most of them. There are also many expensive, hard-to-find ingredients (that would probably be used once then go to waste). I have many vegan cookbooks and cook daily, but these seem largely unapproachable. They’d be fun to order at a restaurant, but I have no interest in dirtying every dish in the kitchen and spending all day cooking to accomplish one recipe.
Great book for anyone on their cooking journey!!
This book is amazing! Creative and easy-to-follow recipes. I've recently started the journey to *return* to vegetarianism and was excited to stumble across this book for plant based cooking. For those who don't eat 100% plant based--or even just the meat eaters--I still recommend this book!! Not only because I think we can all do with at least a few plant based meals a day, but mainly for the oh-so-tasty dishes!!! I often find myself scrolling through cooking blogs and getting really excited as I think--"Oh my, their great grandmother from her small village in Italy gave theme this recipe on her deathbed and now their 9 year olds love it too!"--only to find out there are 320943 different kinds of spices required to make gma's sauce. No, I do not have white peppercorns in my spice cabinet, I'm sorry but I can't disappoint your grandma. Honestly, I end up just winging it, and seeing if the spaghetti I throw sticks to the wall and blaming it on ADHD if the dish does not turn out well. However, not with this book!!! This book took all the things mentioned above and does the opposite. I love it. It's practical and the food combinations are so creative. The recipes are laid out clearly, and the instructions are ADHD friendly. While I may have had to make one substitute, most of the items I had laying around my kitchen. Mena Massoud put a bit of his heart into this as he writes memories and experiences that the dish brings up (though it's easy to skip to the recipe directions if you have an ice cold heart or just want to make sure you have all the ingredients before you're too emotionally invested in the dish). Coming across this book has been the inspiration/confirmation/Kick-in-the butt that I needed that my decision to return to plant based was not just the right decision for me, but also not as daunting. woohoo!
My fav vegan cook book ever ♥️♥️♥️
Vegan and carnivore alike should own this book. The recipes are delicious and easy to follow with great illustrations. You don’t have to be a veggie lover to enjoy the delights in this book
Incredible and Diverse Collection
I’m really excited about this phenomenal cookbook. The collection of recipes is amazing. Wide variety of eclectic vegan recipes. The recipe for the “Magical Mango Curry Wrap” from Peace Pies is worth the price of the book alone. Must try!! However, there are a plethora of incredible options available in this magnificent cookbook. The lone reason it’s a four star is due to the layout. It’s a very colorful cookbook and some pages are pink/ orange and the typeface is either blue or yellow. Pictures are beautiful but it’s not easy to read the entire script at times. Still, highly recommend!!
Great buy!
Purchased for my cousins birthday! She’s a 6 year vegan and in love with Mena Massud! She’s going to love this! Wish it had more pictures of him though lol
Amazing Book
This book made me discover more about vegan food. I don’t have to be a vegan to eat plant-based food. It also shows incredible stories from recipes and places.
Nice variety of recipes
I enjoy the full color pictures, the notes by the author.
Great addition to our collection
Love this cookbook! Every recipe we have tried has been delicious.
what the what
font color was hard to read should use black font black power
Complex
Seems ok. Nothing simple. You'll just need to make sure you have plenty of time to prepare any of these dishes
