We don’t usually feature many cookbooks around here—but Plant-Powered Plates: Sustainable Plant-Based Pleasures for Every Palate by Bane Kalanj genuinely stood out. Packed with flavorful, accessible recipes and a down-to-earth approach, this one had us hooked right from the intro.
Whether you’re already committed to a plant-based lifestyle or just curious about adding more veggie-forward dishes into your routine, this book is a fantastic companion. With over 100 recipes—from hearty mains to satisfying smoothies and crave-worthy desserts—Plant-Powered Plates offers something for every kind of cook (and every kind of appetite).
What sets this cookbook apart is its balance of practicality and inspiration. Bane Kalanj doesn’t just throw recipes at you—he gives you a thoughtful framework for eating well, living mindfully, and reducing your impact on the planet.
