HERE’S TO OUR HEALTH!

The new plant-based cookbook Food That Loves You Back by Amerae Vercueil (R400, Penguin Random House) presents veggies in a way that will inspire you to go beyond meat-free Mondays! If you’ve ever wondered what to do with Brussels sprouts, canned artichokes, leeks or lentils, this book has the answer. Healthy carbs are covered, too, in the form of olive oil pastry, seed and oat bread, and flatbreads. And if you’re after a sweet treat, try Amerae’s banana gingerbread loaf or show-stopping date and chocolate cake with chocolate ganache. >>
