Stephanie Jane reviewed The Broke Vegan Bible by Lauren McCuen
Plenty of good advice
4 stars
In preparation for taking part in the global Veganuary Challenge in January 2019. I asked for recommendations for books featuring vegan characters to read during the month. I also checked out a selection of vegan cookery books to inspire myself with potential recipe ideas.
I admit that I didn't have hugely high hopes of The Broke Vegan Bible mainly because it is short and it was free at the time I spotted and downloaded it.

I know from my increasingly vegetarian diet over the past year that, as vegetarian and vegan diets become more mainstream, there is an ever increasing choice of pre-packaged food options available at a price - often an eye-wateringly high price! Here though Lauren sets out her tried and tested methods to eat a healthy vegan diet and actually save money. I have picked up several good ideas that I am looking forward to putting into practice very soon and will also be trying out some of her suggested recipes too. Most look simple enough to prepare in our motorhome mini kitchen. I am particularly tempted by the vegan Banana Coconut Ice Cream and the Peanut Butter Cups!
