The Vegetarian Reset
If you’re a foodie that craves variety, flavor, and fun, I wrote this book for you. To keep you interested, your palate happy, and to woo you into cooking delicious food that puts nutrition back into focus. I hope these recipes make healthy eating compelling enough that you do it because you want to, not just because you should.
-Vasudha Viswanath
The Vegetarian Reset by Vasudha Viswanath solves the never-ending dilemma that vegetarians face – is life fun when you eat a salad every day or is your health taking a backseat when you eat a big bowl of rice or pasta without enough protein?
Within the pages of this delicious cookbook, Vasudha has created 75 low-carb and high-protein recipes that are rooted in whole foods like vegetables, legumes, spices, and healthy fats. Her recipes take readers on a culinary trip around the world, drawing inspiration from an array of traditional eastern and western cuisines.
The recipes put vegetables front and center for low-carb alternatives to white rice or noodles and creating breads out of less-processed alternatives like chickpea and almond flour. Smoothies are refreshingly savory, and desserts are lightly sweetened with whole fruit. Nutritional facts are provided for each recipe. Moderate amounts of full-fat dairy and eggs are called for in some recipes, but vegan alternatives are often suggested as well.
