Studded with full-color photos, The Homemade Vegan Pantry celebrates beautiful, handcrafted foods that don’t take a ton of time—from ice cream and pizza dough to granola and breakfast sausage. Miyoko Schinner guides readers through the techniques for making French-style buttercreams, roasted tomatoes, and pasta without special equipment.

The Homemade Vegan Pantry raises the bar on plant-based cuisine—not only for vegans and vegetarians, but also for anyone looking to eat lighter and healthier, or to embrace a handcrafted, sustainable approach to food.
