The Complete Plant-Based Cookbook: A Look Inside Before You Buy
If you want to cook more plant-based meals but dread hunting for recipes every evening, a single collection can save time. This post looks at one, The Complete Plant-Based Cookbook (affiliate link), based on what the vendor says on its sales page. I have not cooked from it, and I say where that matters.
What it is
It is a digital cookbook with more than 200 vegan and plant-based recipes. The vendor says most take 30 minutes or less and use everyday supermarket ingredients.
What the vendor lists
- Recipe types including breakfasts, bowls, pastas, tacos, pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads, stir fries and baked goods.
- A simple nutrition guide.
- Instant digital delivery, readable on a phone, tablet or computer, or printable at home.
- A larger bundle with extra guides, according to the vendor, such as a 4-week meal plan with grocery lists, smoothie and smoothie bowl recipes, acai bowls and vegan baking.
Who it might suit
- Busy home cooks who want quick weeknight ideas.
- People new to plant-based cooking who want one place to start.
- Anyone who prefers a downloadable book they can print or read offline.
Who may want something else
- Anyone who wants a printed book. The vendor says this is a digital download, not a physical book.
- Anyone who needs medical or dietary advice. A recipe book is not a substitute for a doctor or dietitian.
- Anyone who already has plenty of vegan recipes and only wants a few new ideas. A free recipe site may be enough.
What to check before you pay
- The current price and what each option includes. The prices I saw on the vendor's page and elsewhere did not match, so confirm them on the order page.
- Whether you need the bundle or just the cookbook. Read what the extra guides contain.
- The refund terms. The vendor's page mentions a 60-day money-back guarantee; read the order page for the exact terms.
- Any ingredients or dishes you cannot eat. Check the recipe categories against your own needs.
My take
Based only on the vendor's own information, this looks like a reasonable option for home cooks who want a big set of quick plant-based recipes in digital form. It is a poor fit if you want a printed book or personal nutrition guidance. If you want to see the details yourself, here is the vendor's page (affiliate link).
