Simple Recipes for Joy: More Than 200 Delicious Vegan Recipes – Gannon Sharon (2016)

Since 1984, Jivamukti yoga has been synonymous with a new way of living: peacefully, healthfully and consciously. Its dedicated instructors and message of kindness have inspired a global revolution. In 2006, Sharon Gannon and David Life opened the Jivamuktea Café to complement their yoga school with a living expression of compassionate spiritual activism in practice, and it too became an immediate success. The peaceful atmosphere, sense of community and, above all, delicious, hearty food appealed to customers eager to eliminate meat and dairy without sacrificing flavour. Thousands of people, including Russell Simmons, award-winning film director Darren Aronofsky and Eco Spokesmama Chloé Jo Davis, have become devoted fans of Gannon’s cruelty-free burritos, chocolate mousse and flower salads. Here, Gannon reveals the secrets behind the café’s acclaimed menu and presents her own home cooking, including recipes she has made for family and friends for decades. These accessible, delicious and spiritually powerful vegan recipes appeal to committed vegans as well as the millions of vegetarians and omnivores who eat vegan food part-time for its health and environmental benefits.
