If you've ever ordered takeout from a vegan restaurant or tried putting a splash of almond milk in your pancakes, cereal, or coffee, then you know vegan food can be delicious. Creamy chickpea pasta with fresh vegetables can rock your tastebuds, and mushroom tacos can make any virtual happy hour feel complete.

They'll also teach you how to maximize ingredients like tofu, nuts, dates, or quinoa so you can get the most out of them.

But, with the help of a cookbook filled with tasty recipes, you can learn how to use them properly and effectively. You can put together meals and treats everyone in your crew will love.
