To many, the vegan movement is a novelty that might pass us by sooner or later. But long before the advent of veganism, plant-based cooking was already essential to most cultures.

With 100 naturally vegan recipes from around the globe--from fluffy Keralan pancakes to lemony Turkish koftesi--Julius explores classic home-cooking techniques and dishes that champion simple, sustainable ingredients.

Naturally Vegan is as much about balancing flavors as it is about making nutrient-rich meals. It's a reflection of treading lightly on the Earth, slowing down, and taking pleasure in process. Above all, it's a celebration of traditional plant-based food and of eating and cooking in tune with nature.
