Speedy BOSH!

December 7, 2020
In this dynamic cookbook, Youtube food vloggers Theasby and Firth (Bish Bash Bosh!) offer 100 unfussy vegan recipes that can be on the table in 30 minutes or less. Recipes rely on miso and curry pastes, nutritional yeast, and Biscoff cookie butter to save time without compromising flavor. In addition to individual recipes, the authors offer lifestyle-specific menus that group fare into categories like “eating on a budget” and “eating for the gym.” Recipes include light snacks such as an asparagus and herb tabouleh, shareable dishes like naan tikka pizza, and heartier entrées along the lines of eggplant and lentil meatball pasta. A delightful dessert chapter features a red velvet sorbet and Portuguese custard tarts, while recipes for peanut iced coffee and a margarita fizz can be found in a section on drinks. Particularly inventive dishes are a broccoli mango salad, and a drunken hot chocolate made with hazelnut milk, almond butter, and dark rum. An index of “speedy hacks” (“Make a lasagna in minutes by breaking up the sheets and parboiling them, then draining before stirring with the sauce”), meanwhile, is super useful. The menu ideas and fun approach to plant-based eating are sure to please time-crunched vegans.
