Purchase options and add-ons

Being vegan doesn’t have to mean living off kale and quinoa, or spending your money on fancy and expensive ingredients. And it definitely doesn’t have to mean feeling limited for choices of what to eat! What if “vegan food” could mean cheesy nachos and pizza, hearty burritos, gooey spinach and artichoke dip, decadent chocolate cake or even crème brûlée? Well, it can. In Fuss-Free Vegan, Sam Turnbull shows you that “vegan” does not equal unappetizing dishes, complicated steps, ingredients you have never heard of, or even food that tastes healthy. Instead, she gives you drool-worthy yet utterly fuss-free recipes that will bring everyone together at the table, vegans and non-vegans alike, in a chorus of rave reviews.
This is the cookbook Sam wishes she had when she went vegan: one that recreates and veganizes the dishes she loved most in her pre-vegan days, like fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon, cheesy jalapeño poppers and pizza pockets, creamy Caesar salad and macaroni and cheese, rich chocolate brownies and holiday-worthy pumpkin pie, to name just a few. (And there’s no hummus recipe in sight.)
Say goodbye to searching endlessly around for that one special ingredient that you can't even pronounce, or cooking dishes that don’t deliver on their promise of yumminess; instead, say hello to ingredients you can pick up at your local grocery store, step-by-step techniques, and Sam’s enthusiastic voice cheering you on throughout this fun, approachable cookbook. With 101 tried-and-tested, one-of-a-kind vegan recipes for every meal, from breakfasts to lunches to dinners, and even snacks, desserts, appetizers and vegan staples, as well as handy menu plans and tips to amp up the recipes and your vegan life, Sam Turnbull and Fuss-Free Vegan are your ultimate guides in the new vegan kitchen.

Review

Praise for Fuss-Free Vegan:
 
“Sam Turnbull has done it all! Mouthwatering easy-to-follow recipes that will work for any cook. There are show-stoppers such as lentil loaf wrapped in puff pastry, crème brûlée, creamy rosé linguine, as well as all the classics such as burgers, soups, salads, mac and cheese, and so many more that are truly fuss-free! The photos alone make me want to jump right into the book!”
Chloe Coscarelli, vegan chef and cookbook author
 
“This delightful cookbook knocks vegan cooking right off the proverbial pedestal and brings it down to earth for all. Through Sam’s simply spectacular recipes, you’ll not just enjoy a wildly flavorful meal, but you’ll learn lots along the way about this powerful lifestyle choice.”
Chef Michael Smith, author of Make Ahead Meals

“Curious about going vegan but don’t want to give up your favourite foods? Fuss-Free Vegan is the book you need! From cozy waffles to hot, cheesy pizza and decadent brownies, Sam recreates all our food favorites! With engaging spirit, Sam invites us into her cheery vegan kitchen.”
Dreena Burton

“Cooking in restaurants over the past four decades, I’ve noticed a rather steep pike of interest in vegan cooking. Nary a service goes by without someone inquiring as to what vegan dishes are on the menu. For me, it has been a decade-long scramble to respond. Thankfully, Sam Turnbull has given me some wonderful inspiration in Fuss-Free Vegan.”
Jamie Kennedy

“With witty notes, delicious and approachable recipes, and drool-worthy photography, Sam Turnbull proves that even after you go vegan, you can have your (*insert whatever food you think you’ll miss by going vegan*) and eat it too.”
Kristy Turner

A great book for people wanting to eat real vegan food

A great book for people wanting to eat real vegan food
I am just starting to become “veganish” and this was a great first book. One of the things that attracted me to eating this way was the focus on real food that I can easily find. I don’t want to be just buying vegan junk food (think all the chemical laden vegan versions of meat/cheese products). Her enthusiasm for cooking and being vegan is amazing.We have made several of her recipes already. The cheese ball is quick and delicious and I throw in other ingredients each time I make it for variety. Her lentil loaf (pictured) was amazing (I probably will save the puff pastry wrapping for special occasions only though). My omnivore son actually wanted leftovers to take home with him!There are lots of easy recipes here that will help you bridge to this new way of eating. Yes, this book will have you spending more time in the kitchen than if you are just microwaving a frozen vegan dinner (the recipes are easier than many cookbooks) but it is fun and far healthier. Enjoy the cooking process and develop a bond with the food that is fueling your day.

I started following Sam Turnbull and her blog "It doesn't taste like chicken" about a year ago. I found her on social media and was mesmerized by not only the creations she featured but her wonderful, bright and happy personality that I challenge anyone not to love!

I tried a couple of her recipes and they were an immediate hit so I joined one of her Facebook cooking classes. Everything I made, without exception, was an instant hit with everyone who tried it. Her tips and tricks were invaluable as well. I knew I had to have one of her cookbooks and what better way to start than with 101 Everyday Comfort Food Favorites, Veganized (and tasting significantly better than the non-vegan dishes they replaced).

This book is now the only cookbook I use, period. The recipes are so amazing and easy to follow that I will definitely be buying more of her cookbooks in the future. Every single dish I've made has turned out perfectly and as stated above significantly better than what I used to make. This book makes it a sin NOT to become a vegan JUST based on how good everything tastes!

Her marinara recipe is my forever go to recipe. Better than any store bought sauce and ready in 30 minutes with just a few simple ingredients, you absolutely can't go wrong with this sauce. It doubles nicely as a pizza sauce as well. I've tried many others (all great) but last night was the pièce de résistance, I made her lighter vegan version of alfredo sauce using cauliflower and it was THE richest, THE creamiest, THE absolute tastiest alfredo I've ever had at home or any restaurant! OMG I will be dreaming of this sauce forever and so much better for you that the whole cream and butter version! Topped with her vegan parmesan topping, you'd be blown away!

I'm guessing you get the idea. Buy this book, like even if you aren't planning to become vegan. It's so good your meatless Mondays will never be the same and may spill into Tuesday (dare I say Wednesday?). Sam is without a doubt a genius in the kitchen.

I’ve always loved Sam’s recipes from her blog (her Peanut Thai Salad with Grilled Tofu, for example, is my favorite salad) so I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed in her book. And boy, was I right! The recipes are for dishes that seem familiar to most people such as vegan versions of pizza, pasta dishes, blueberry muffins, scones, lemon meringue pie, and even creme brûlée, just to mention a very few (that I can’t wait to try). My husband is vegetarian but not vegan so I was hoping he would find these recipes delicious and so far, he has loved everything I’ve made. In the 9 short days I’ve had the book, I have prepared the Extra Banana-Y Banana Bread (so good but watch the bake time-I slightly over cooked mine though my husband says it is still the best he’s tasted), Best-Ever Waffles (recipe made enough that we froze half and reheated in the toaster oven the next day), Creamy Dreamy Coleslaw, Love Letter French Onion Soup, Absurdly Cheesy Broccoli Soup (delicious flavors-I thickened mine a bit more with potato flakes),Go-To Chickpea Salad, Caramelizd Onion Pizza, Veggie Fried Rice, My Family Favorite Tomato Sauce (made enough for a spaghetti dinner and plenty left over for the pizza recipes), Life-Changing Mozzarella, and Seriously Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (my husband loved these). And you MUST check out the Carrot Dogs (totally amazing-I swear they taste just like veggie dogs, only better). But I’ve saved the best for last. Her Ah-Mah-Zing Peanut Butter Cookies are mouth-wateringly delicious). I have had to make them twice in one week due to popular demand. So far I have found all the recipes to be easy, accurate, and made with ingredients most vegans have on hand (such as LOTS of cashews) and best of all, appealing to those who aren’t hard-core vegans, such as my husband. As another bonus, all the recipes, have beautiful full-color pictures, so realistic that I found myself trying to wipe crumbs off one of the pages. Just can’t wait to cook my way through the entire book.

I knew of Sam Turnbull’s blog and her recipes there and was excited that she was putting out a cookbook. Like the recipes on her blog, the recipes in the book “veganize” everyday foods. The recipes are simple, don’t have long ingredient lists and are easy to replicate. So far I have made Easiest Gravy in the World, Creamy Dreamy Coleslaw, Tempeh or Tofu, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich, Stay-Home Philly Cheese Mushroom Sandwich, and Insanely Good Rice Paper Bacon – all turned out well and were yummy. This is one cookbook that I plan on trying every recipe (Quick and Easy Pho and 15-Minute Peanut Noodles are on tap this week). In the first part of the book Sam explains her background, philosophy towards veganism includes tips on how to be vegan on a budget, suggests useful kitchen tools and methods, and explains common ingredients. The book then launches in to the recipes including some vegan pantry staples. The layout is clean and has an appropriate amount of photos (mostly of the delicious food, some seriously cute dogs and Sam’s smiling face). My one quibble with the book is the lightness of the text. My old eyes have a hard time seeing the instructions – not a big deal but Sam, if you read this, keep that in mind for the next book. If you are beginning your vegan journey this is a good entry cookbook. I’m an experienced cook but I think beginners will be able to follow the recipes and make the food easily. All in all a great cookbook!

I love this cookbook. It's not my first vegan/plant based cookbook, but it's quite different . Every day meals veganized without moralizing. Maybe a few of the recipes aren't super healthy, but I find that ok,because I don't cook them daily

Sam is one of my favourite vegan recipe author, as you can tell from the pics we cook a lot from her book and blog. Her carrot cake recipe was a disaster (only because I doubled the recipe, overbaked the sponge, and wasn't a fan of shortening and apple cider vinegar in the frosting but a good starting base), but everything else is so delicious and easy (like EASY easy, when she says fuss-free she means it). 99% of the time I have all ingredients on hand, as I bulk buy some of the stuff (cashew nuts, nutritional yeast etc). It's worth buying her book for the cheesecake recipe alone, can't recommend it enough. My omni guests couldn't tell the difference 😋😋 a lot of the free recipes on her website are incredible too (the sticky garlic salmon, chickpea salad, beetroot burger, tofu bolognese, nacho cheese etc).

Highly recommend, whenever I fancy a dish I'll look on her blog/book first.

Can't go wrong with this book 😊

I've had this book for a few days, I'm not much of a cook and total newbie to Vegan diet. The book is well illustrated and has excellent instructions. Although I'm not much of a cook, I do have a degree in Chemistry; anyone could follow these instructions to make the dish I reckon.

The excellent pictures of every dish in the book are very helpful. The author's cheery manner also helps, its obvious she loves cooking. I don't so I need a bit of extra encouragement haha
