Plant-Based & Flavor First: 12 Vegan Recipes I Made on Repeat to Cut My Cholesterol While Loving Every Bite

This is a collection of 12 recipes I’ve made over and over for dinner at my house. It’s the food that makes following a plant-based diet easy and enjoyable for me. These are the meals that helped me drop my cholesterol 67 points without medication. If you're someone who wants to improve their numbers without a prescription, the recipes in this book might help you, too. 

I'm a writer, editor, and recipe developer focused on great food and good health. A former restaurant critic, I really understand what great food is all about. These are plant-based dishes with five-star flavor.

I'm the co-host and co-producer of the home cooking podcast Local Mouthful and the editor of Edible Philly magazine. I'm a former nutrition editor at Prevention magazine. My writing has been nominated for the James Beard Journalism award and the IACP award.

I'm also the author of Stuff Every Cook Should Know and Almost Meatless as well as the recipe editor for Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking.

I live in South Philadelphia with my husband, Dan. Follow along with my plant-based cooking adventures on Instagram @JoyManning.
