Food is so much more than fuel, and veganism is so much more than a diet. It's linked to culture, family, memories, and identity. A collection of over 100 plant-based recipes that, together, give readers a bird's eye view of vegan cuisine and its facets, Best of Vegan is a marvelously versatile glimpse into the world of vegan cuisine.

After years of learning and exploring, Hansen committed to a vegan lifestyle and never looked back. Now the creator of the Best of Vegan Instagram and platform, with a reach of over 2 million people, Hansen has fostered a global community of enthusiastic home cooks, chefs, bloggers, and all things food and veganism. Chef contributions include Gaz Oakley (Avant-Garde Vegan, Samantha Onyemenam and Daniel Haimona.
