Cooking with Amore

There's more to cooking than quickly preparing something to eat. It's about mindfully infusing love into every ingredient you choose to ingest. From the chef, animal advocate, author and teacher Maria Amore, comes a cookbook quite unlike anything you have seen before. Inspired as much by her early love of the kitchen and garden, as by her Italian heritage and world travels, Maria has created 100 vegan recipes in Cooking with Amore that are sure to tantalize even the most discriminating vegan and non-vegans alike.

Whether you are looking to add more flavorful plant-based meals to your diet, or feel ready to take the leap into a fully vegan lifestyle, Cooking with Amore has everything you will need to nourish your body and soul. With many gluten-free options, both raw and cooked vegan recipes, this easy-to-follow guide makes vegan cooking effortless and pleasurable, allowing you to create irresistibly delicious homestyle vegan dishes.

For Maria, vegan cooking is premised on the concept of ahimsa, a way of life and a key tenet of many South Asian faiths and traditions. Stressing non-violence towards all living beings, respect and interconnectedness between all forms of life, vegan cooking is the culinary embodiment of ahimsa and is the true essence of cooking with love.
