A plant-based lifestyle has finally come of age and she is a beauty to behold. However, when you're vegan-or striving to eat a more plant-forward diet-it can still be easy to feel like an outsider where food is concerned. Many people aren't quite sure how to marry their newfound vegan lifestyle with their desire for veganism to finally be simply good and fuss free! In Simple Goodness, Makini Howell offers readers a thoughtful, familiar, good-food centered approach to vegan cooking that is sure to please every palate at the table-from the most experienced foodie among us to the youngest. Developed over her life as a vegan, from childhood with her father's guidance to a professional chef, Howell's recipes reflect a vibrant, layered, and accessible approach to vegan cuisine that draws on the many cultural influences that make up the rich American landscape-from nostalgic, like the Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Pie, to comforting, like the Slow Cooker "Chicken" Noodle Soup, to exciting, like the Salvadorian stew filled pot pies. They are satisfying, fill up a full plate, and feed a group, with organization that follows a natural progression from snacks and breakfasts to lunches and weeknight dinners. Simple Goodness is aimed at home cooks who are experimenting with a vegan diet, cooking for friends and family who are discovering vegan food, and with a sweet nod to the little people in your life. These recipes will give readers a deeply satisfying and delicious start-to-finish plant-based meal at home. As readers cook their way through these recipes, they-and those they lovingly feed-will ease into a lighter, plant-forward diet without sacrificing flavor, texture, or that vital sense of Goodness"--
