If you are in need of some delicious, beautiful holiday recipes, look no further than Vegan Holiday Kitchen by Nava Atlas. My cousin referred me to this book last Passover after reading an article about it in a magazine. I purchased it and was immediately delighted with all of the elegant dishes to choose from. The title is appropriately named. It says "holiday" and it means it! From secular (Thanksgiving, Independence Day) to religious - Christian and Jewish (Christmas, Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, and Easter), she's got the whole calendar covered. The book also includes chapters on Summer Entertaining, Brunches, Potlucks and Appetizers. As a vegan who entertains A LOT during any holiday, this book is a gold mine.
I am still cooking my way through this book. There is so much to discover. Here are my favorite recipes so far.
Soup and Salad:
Massaged Kale Salad with Cranberries and Cashews
Vegan Matzo Balls
Main Dishes:
Quinoa and Lentil-Stuffed Golden Squashes

Check out this wonderful cookbook and let me know what you think!
