Vegan Pressure Cooker Cookbook
100 Amazingly Delicious Plant-Based Recipes for Fast, Easy, and Healthy Meals
Table of Contents
Introduction
A healthy diet is key to having a happy, fulfilling life. A diet too full of unhealthy foods results in fatigue and vulnerability to diseases, many of them serious. Unfortunately, our society is not lacking in unhealthy options. To meet demand, companies turn to unethical methods, resulting in animal cruelty. Health and the treatment of animals are two of the main reasons why people commit to veganism, a plant-based diet that also eliminates animal products like milk, cheese, gelatin, and honey.
Getting the most nutrition out of every food is very important for vegans, and thats where pressure cooking shines. Pressure cookers are able to retain the most nutrition possible from vegetables and beans, and the appliance makes healthy cooking extremely easy. While there are packaged vegan options, making your own meals is always the healthy alternative, and much less expensive. This book presents the first steps in becoming a vegan, and provides 100 recipes for breakfasts, entrees, sides, desserts, and more, so you have a strong foundation to build off of.
Whether youre already a vegan and just need more recipe options, or have just started considering transitioning your diet, this book will give you everything you need to succeed.
Chapter 1 - Whats Vegan Cooking All About?
Veganism has become very popular in recent times, as people realize just how unhealthy societys eating habits have become. We are a meat-loving culture, and sadly, go to unethical lengths to get the meat we crave. Because of health concerns, ethical concerns, or both, more people are deciding to give up meat and, differing from vegetarians, all animal products. Their diet shifts to one based on whole grains, vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts, seeds, and vegan versions of popular foods.
When did veganism start?
Evidence for veganism has existed for 2,000 years, but the movement didnt have an official platform until the 1940s. Donald Watson, an English vegetarian who did not consume dairy, met with five others who shared his vision to talk through ways to spread their message. They disliked the label non-dairy vegetarians, because it was clunky, and ended up deciding on vegans. The Vegan Society was born. Watson is considered the father of modern veganism, and until his death at age 95, he advocated for organic farming and pacifism.
What are the benefits of veganism?
A diet free from all animal products has a lot of benefits. Just a handful include:
More energy
Healthier skin, hair, and nails
Fewer migraines
Fewer colds and flus
Improved heart health
Improved resistance to cancer
While studies have shown that veganism can lead to a lower BMI, it should not be adopted purely for the sake of weight loss. Vegan does not mean lower-calorie, and other healthy habits like exercise and drinking water should accompany the diet if you want to lose weight.
Chapter 2 - How to Transition to a Vegan Diet
Wanting to become a vegan? How would you go about it? There are really only two steps when you break it down: adding food, and then cutting out food and replacing it.
When youre starting out on your vegan journey, the easiest first step is to start adding food into your diet rather than cutting it out. That means buying more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, tofu, nuts, and so on. You start making vegan recipes alongside non-vegan ones, and familiarizing yourself with vegan brands. This way, you can see just how many options you do have, and figuring out what you do and dont like, without feeling like youre starving.
Once youve been adding vegan food to your diet for a little while, its time to start cutting out food. The good thing about this step is you dont have to say goodbye to them entirely. What you do is cut out, and then replace. That means instead of drinking milk, you start getting dairy alternatives like soy, almond, or even cashew milk. Instead of regular cheese, find a vegan cheese brand.
The art of substitution is key to being a vegan with a varied diet. Here are some classic subs that vegans rely on:
