Ghislaine Voogd has been a vegetarian all her life. You could say that vegetarian food was literally instilled in her from birth. During the pandemic, she decided to share her love of food out of boredom on Instagram. Not knowing that this was the start of her successful account @veggilaine , with which she now inspires tens of thousands of followers every day with delicious, easy, vegetarian recipes. She also shares shopping and cooking tips about vegan cooking on TikTok. Vegetables often play the leading role in her nutritious and accessible recipes. Ghislaine also loves fermenting and baking bread. This is reflected in her recipes. How about 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 successful recipes from her Instagram account, this book also contains a lot of delicious new recipes. Ghislaine hopes to show everyone that vegetarian cooking is not only very easy, but also incredibly tasty!
