    Fast Easy Cheap Vegan!!!

    I have a confession. I've been keeping a secret from you. Over the last year, I've had a project on the go that I haven't spoken about at all. I wanted to tell you about it, I really did. I wanted to share every little detail of the process, but I was instructed not to tell anyone, it was to be a surprise. But secret no more, I'm finally allowed to talk about it.

    I WROTE A NEW VEGAN COOKBOOK!

    Surprise!!!!!!!

    After the crazy success of my first cookbook Fuss-Free Vegan, (which became a bestseller and is now in its 9th printing), I was getting a ton of demand for a second cookbook.

    Well, ask and you shall receive. I introduce to you my brand new shiny cookbook, Fast Easy Cheap Vegan. And here it is in all its beauty ↓↓↓

    Fast Easy Cheap Vegan! 101 Recipes that all take 30 minutes or less to prepare, require 10 ingredients or less, and cost $10 or less. New vegan cookbook by the bestselling author Sam Turnbull. This is the perfect vegan cookbook for beginners and master cooks alike. Simple enough to make on a busy evening, tasty enough to wow everyone at the table.  Pre-order it today! #itdoesnttastelikechicken #vegan #cookbook

    I'm literally shaking as I type this, I'm just SO excited. Fast Easy Cheap Vegan is jam-packed with 101 scrumptious vegan recipes. But it's so much more than that...

    Every recipe takes 30 minutes or less, requires 10 ingredients or less, and costs $10 dollars or less!

    Can it get better than that!?

    Over the years as a vegan blogger and cookbook author, I've heard the same concerns over and over again: "Vegan food is too expensive. Vegan food is too complicated. Vegan food is too time-consuming."

     

    With this book it was my goal to bust ALL of those misconceptions. I wanted to show you how vegan food can actually be affordable, simple, and quick! And that's what I did. You won't believe how many delicious, hearty, drool-worthy dishes you can prepare in lightning speed, with only a few ingredients, and for cheap too!

    I've been making all of these recipes on repeat as the recipes have become go-to staples for me. This is the perfect vegan cookbook for beginners and master cooks alike. Simple enough to make on a busy evening, tasty enough to wow everyone at the table. 

    Fast Easy Cheap Vegan! 101 Recipes that all take 30 minutes or less to prepare, require 10 ingredients or less, and cost $10 or less. New vegan cookbook by the bestselling author Sam Turnbull. This is the perfect vegan cookbook for beginners and master cooks alike. Simple enough to make on a busy evening, tasty enough to wow everyone at the table.  Pre-order it today! #itdoesnttastelikechicken #vegan #cookbook

    SO WHAT'S IN THIS BOOK:

    • 101 easy vegan recipes! Only 5 of the recipes in this book are also on the blog, the rest of the recipes (96) are completely unique to the book, and will never be posted on the blog. 
    • All your munching needs are covered- breakfasts, snacks, soups, salads, noodles, mains, and desserts.
    • An entire chapter on pantry-friendly mixes. No need to buy the over-priced store-bought mixes, make your own in 5 minutes! I'm talking pancake mix, muffin mix, cake mixes, gravy mix, and so many more. Just add the ingredients to a jar, shake, and store until you want to whip up a batch of something scrumptious. Talk about convenient!
    • All recipes use ingredients you can easily find at your local grocery store. No weird or hard to find ingredients.
    • Might I remind you that EVERY RECIPE in this book uses just 10 ingredients or less, cost 10 dollars or less and takes 30 minutes or less to prepare!
    • And of course, I'm the kinda person who loves cookbooks that are jam-packed full of photos, so I made sure to include a beautiful picture for every single recipe.

    Fast Easy Cheap Vegan will be released on March 30, 2021, but you can pre-order it now so that you will be one of the very first to get your hands on a first edition copy! The book will be available worldwide, so you can pre-order from your favourite bookseller. Here are a few places that are selling it for pre-order online:

    USA CANADA UK
    Amazon Amazon Amazon
    Barnes & Nobel Indigo Blackwell's
    Target Kobo  
    Apple Books Shop independent WORLDWIDE
    Google Play   Book Depository
    Bookshop   Kobo
         
         

    I know many of you may be considering pre-ordering this book as a gift, it's the perfect last-minute gift idea! So I've made these two gift cards that you can print or email once you order the book, so you have something to put under the tree (virtual or real)!

      Ordered! One for me and one for my mother if she's a good girl or it's 2 for me . Sam I never comment on any blogs or anything online but I wanted to wish you a super merry Christmas and all the luck and love in the world for the new book. We use the blog and the first book all the time for vegan inspiration. We never tweak or change ingredients because you're the only person we've found that uses real food, proper flavours and no mucking about. I'm in the UK and I don't think it matters where in the world you are, you have been an absolute joy and delight to us plant powered people's and no, it definitely doesn't taste like chicken and nor should it ever! Warmest wishes to all of you reading this and I second the idea for signed copies please! Sam, you may not realise but you've become a bit of an icon to your followers and I personally am always champing at the bit for the next email whether it draws me back to an old recipe again or something totally new. Stay safe everyone. Much love and let's hope, much more luck, health and happiness for 2021. Sarah xxx

      This sounds silly, but I confess that tears of joy sprang to my eyes when I read this! Since we've been "locked down" for so many months here I've been trying new recipes to make life interesting and I always know yours will be a hit! I love your first cookbook and your blog recipes (made vegan hash browns just last night!) so I can't wait to own your new cookbook! Thank you for the great news --that alone is a wonderful Christmas present! You're the best, Sam!

      Congratulations Sam!!! I’m so excited for a 2nd cookbook from you! Every time I make something from your 1st cookbook or blog I say, “Another great recipe from Sam!” as my family digs in.
      I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that you have a photo of EVERY recipe which makes all the difference. I rarely cook the recipes from cookbooks that don’t have a photo attached. So thankful you understand how important beautiful photos of food are.
      Thank you so much for everything you have given us! You are an amazing gift whose energy and love shines through every time.
