Cooking from the Spirit: Easy, Delicious, and Joyful Plant-Based Inspirations
Tabitha Brown, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Feeding the Soul, presents her first cookbook-full of easy, family-friendly vegan recipes and stories from the spirit, inspired by her health journey and love of delicious food.
Sometimes people say to Tabitha Brown, "I've never eaten vegan before." As Tab says, "Have you ever eaten an apple?"
After living with a terrible undiagnosed illness for more than a year and a half, Tab was willing to try anything to stop the pain. Inspired by the documentary What the Health, she tried a thirty-day vegan challenge-and never looked back. Wanting to inspire others to make changes that might improve their own lives, she started sharing her favorite plant-based recipes in her signature warm voice with thousands, and now millions, of online fans.
Tab's recipes are flexible, creative, and filled with encouragement, so you trust yourself to cook food the way it makes you happy. If you're already a "cooking from the spirit" sort of person, you'll love how much freedom Tab gives to make these delicious vegan dishes your own. If you're newer to cooking-or to vegan cooking-Tab will help you get comfortable in the kitchen and, most important, have fun doing it!
In this joyful book, Tab shares personal stories, inspirational "Tabisms," and more than eighty easy, family-friendly recipes, including:
Yam Halves Topped with Maple-Cinnamon Pecan GlazeStuffed AvocadoJackfruit Pot RoastCrab-less Cakes with Spicy Tartar SauceWho Made the Potato Salad?Kale and Raspberry SaladStrawberry Cheesecake CupsCooking from the Spirit is for anyone interested in plant-based eating and all lovers of food, plus anyone who wants a little warm inspiration in their lives.

Hands down the best cook book I have ever used and seen. It’s truly authentic and fits my style of cooking.. absolutely no measurement! I am no vegan but my family will be enjoying vegan cooking mixed in with their favorite dish from now on.. well done Tab!
Ms. LynneMoniqueK
that this book will bring me yummy dishes. I just received it, couldnt open the box fast enough. I did a quick flip through, oohing and awhing the whole time. There are so many recipes (187 pages total) and love that she included pictures. The quality of the pics is not the best, but that does not stop me from giving it top rated. Wishing Tabitha Brown all the best and continued success in all her endeavors. Now to go and starting bookmarking what I will make first.
Ms. LynneMoniq
This cookbook is aesthetically pleasing. I love the fact that she included color pictures of several recipes from the book. There’s a wide variety of recipes that’s sure to please everyone. The only thing that I didn’t like is that she didn’t include exact measurements. I personally like to go by the recipe the first couple of times that I try a recipe. After that I tweak it to my liking if needed. Because I’m not familiar with vegan cooking, it kind of seems like a shot in the dark. Nevertheless I’m inspired to try several of the recipes. I wouldn’t allow that to detour me from buying it! The ingredients seem relatively easy to find and inexpensive.

I'm so glad to have this book as I delve into a vegan lifestyle and learn how to cook overall. I must say, as someone who is a novice in cooking, not having measurements doesn't seem practical. I can appreciate the concept of "trusting yourself" and "knowing what you like," but I would prefer to learn the intended taste of the recipes first before making those adjustments for myself. But with all said, I'm eager to start on this recipe journey Tabatha has laid out for us!

I have already tried several recipes featured in this book just through watching Tabitha Brown's YouTube videos but was not sure what to expect from a larger collection. I have many vegetarian cookbooks and what I enjoy about this one is that the recipes are both creative and accessible. Making roast beef out of thinly sliced portobellos? Pickled mushroom deviled eggs? Nothing in this book is complicated to make but so many taste like a revelation. We've only had the book for a few days but have already tried several recipes. We just had sausage and cabbage for dinner and I'm about to make some of the Chocolate Banana Toast for dessert. It is true that some of the recipes do not have measurements but I feel that just allows me to make intuitive decisions based on my family and what I have on hand (cause that's my business! :) )
