WHO

Gigi, who you may know as @gigi_goes_vegan, is a vegan influencer, ultra-marathoner, nutritionist, cookbook author, and mom-to-be. She’s Italian (lei e italiana!) and currently resides in the UK. She is a frequent sharer of delicious dishes that are vegan and packed with protein. And she’s a devoted debunker of myths around soy and other plant-based proteins. She’s one of my favorite people to follow on social media and when she announced her cookbook, I was quick to pre-order it.

WHAT

There are over 80 recipes in the book, plus loads of information on nutrition, vegan pantry staples, and tips for meal-prepping. There are beautiful photos throughout and the book is beautifully formatted. Like all of my favorite cookbooks, it’s a pleasure to simply read and browse, enjoyable before you even try your first recipe.

Some of the recipes you’ll find in the book: chocolate brownie protein baked oats, corn fritters with smoky baked beans and avo smash, harissa tofu ciabatta, marry me lentils, butter tofu curry, and smoky 3-bean chili. I have bookmarked many of these to try. Hungry yet?

A TASTE

Of course, being a pasta devotee, these are some of the first recipes I tried:

I loved all of these dishes from Plant Protein and look forward to trying many more. If you’re intrigued, check out the cookbook and be sure to visit Gigi on instagram as she is constantly sharing recipes and cooking tips (fyi her sofritto hack is life-changing).

Happy reading and cooking!
