Many of us, for various reasons, are trying to reduce the amount of meat and dairy in our diets but are reluctant to let go of our favourite foods.
When chef Sam Murphy decided to change her lifestyle, originally just to lose weight and have a more balanced diet, she assumed that her days of eating pizzas, burgers and brownies were over. But after experimenting in the kitchen, Sam realized that she could still eat all of those irresistibly indulgent dishes while looking after herself and the world around her.
Bringing all of Sam's best recipes together, this incredible collection includes delicious, healthy options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as sides, salads, sauces, smoothies and desserts. It features Sam's recipes for:
Spaghetti Carbonara
Chickpea Chilli Cheese Toasties
Loaded Vegan Hot Dogs
Salted Caramel Brownies
Cookie Dough Cereal
The Vegan Big Mac
And many, many more.
Whether you're looking to go without meat or dairy every day, every week or just once a month, or if you just want to indulge in guilty food without the guilt, Beautifully Real Food is the perfect guide to making meals you can really enjoy. Sam Murphy lives in Melbourne, Australia, by the beach. By day, she works as a vegan chef, and this passion tends to spill into her home life as well. Believing that food is truly there to be enjoyed, Sam spends much of her spare time in the kitchen creating recipes, feeding those around her and spreading her love of delicious food to the world.
