Ghislaine Voogd has been a vegetarian her entire life. You could say that vegetarian eating was literally spoon-fed to her from a young age. During the pandemic, she decided to share her penchant for eating out of boredom on Instagram. Little did she know that this was the start of her successful account @veggilaine, through which she now inspires tens of thousands of followers daily with delicious, easy, vegetarian recipes. She also shares grocery and cooking tips about veggie/vegan cooking on TikTok. Vegetables often play the leading role in her nutritious and accessible recipes. In addition, Ghislaine loves fermenting and baking bread. You can see this reflected in her recipes. For example, what do you think of homemade fluffy pitas, homemade crispy chili oil, paratha with spiced oyster mushrooms and pea spread, miso-pecan banana bread, or a kimchi focaccia? In addition to a number of success stories from her Instagram account, this book also contains a whole host of mouth-watering new recipes. Ghislaine hopes to show everyone that vegetarian cooking is not only very easy, but above all, incredibly delicious!
