Plants Only Holidays

Who’s the author? Chef and cookbook author Gaz Oakley developed a passion for cooking at an early age; by 15, he was working in professional kitchens and honing his craft. After a few health issues, he was inspired to follow a plant-based diet and started devising delicious, innovative dishes using the classic techniques he had picked up along the way. In 2016 he launched a YouTube channel and now has over 2.5 million followers on social media. His first three books, Vegan 100, Vegan Christmas and Plants Only Kitchen were instant hits.

What’s it about? More and more of us are embracing veganism and plant-based cooking, but finding great recipes for the festive season can still prove challenging. With Plants Only Holidays, Gaz provides fantastic alternatives to the traditional turkey and trimmings, so that you can enjoy delicious plant-based recipes throughout the holiday season, without missing out on any of the indulgence.

Essential for any plant-based food lover, this cookbook will guide you through the basics of ingredients, menus and planning, along with chapters covering everything from Christmas breakfast to party food and light meals, to show-stopping lunches and Thanksgiving centrepieces.
