I hope you don’t mind another giveaway! It’s a really good one – –
Laura Theodore – a.k.a. The Jazzy Vegetarian – recently released her latest cookbook, Deliciously Vegan: Plant-Powered for the Modern, Mindful Kitchen and it’s filled with the kinds of recipes that I’ve come to expect (and adore) from this talented and gracious lady. Laura just has a way with creating craveable, plant-based recipes that are easy to prepare AND provide depth of flavor and deep satisfaction. (It doesn’t hurt that many of them are oil-free and require only a handful of “regular” ingredients. Oh, and just as in Laura’s previous books, the dessert chapters are not to be missed!) Deliciously Vegan is available in paperback on Amazon for $22.95 and is filled with gorgeous photos that bring the recipes to life and make your mouth water.
Now for the giveaway… Laura has been kind enough to share on her site some of the recipes from my recent collaborative cookbook, It’s Got To Taste Good, so we thought it would be fun to do a giveaway that included both of our books. I decided to throw in a copy of my mini-cookbook, Unrefined Snacking to sweeten the deal. After you’ve printed out Laura’s recipe for oil-free Miso-Parsley Hummus and scrolled through the photos I took of other recipes from her book, enter the giveaway (via Rafflecopter, at the end of the post) for a chance to claim all three cookbooks. The giveaway runs through April 15 and is open to those residing in the U.S. and Canada.

I’m not on social media can I still enter?
Very wise, Robyn ;-)! I’ve added an option for leaving a comment on the post. That will get you entered into the giveaway.
These look great! Would love to have them in my kitchen!!
I enjoyed the post. I am also not on social media.
Hi Anita – you can still enter the giveaway via the Rafflecopter widget and then leaving a comment. Your comment only “counts” if it is done via Rafflecopter. Apologies for any confusion!
Made the hummus tonight and will be baking up that wonderful coffee cake again tomorrow!
Easy peasy and so yummy!
Love new Vegan recipes and trying them out. I would love to add the books to my library as well. I have several family members that are enjoying vegan dishes and these new books would be awesome to add new recipes to their tastebuds
Very confusing about how to enter the contest. In the post, I’d recommend adding “leave a comment to enter the giveaway”.
I love Laura’s recipes and her dedication to veganism! I would love the opportunity to win all three books so I could have them all in one place. Thanks for the opportunity!
Hi Karen, apologies for any confusion about how to enter the contest and I appreciate you bringing the issue to my attention. When hosting giveaways, I usually note that entries are via Rafflecopter, but forgot to do so in this post. I’ve revised the text to indicate that those wishing to take part in the giveaway should do so via Rafflecopter at the bottom of the post. There is an option to leave a blog post comment, again, via Rafflecopter. This is the only way that a entrant’s comment will “count” and the person’s name be entered into the giveaway.
These cookbooks look amazing!
Just printed off the hummus recipe and am going to look for the ingredients in the pantry. I love finding new recipes to add miso. thanks for this one!
Would love to start cooking some plant based recipes from these books.
Drooling! I love hummus and all, but that banana pecan coffee cake got me. I need that recipe!
Oil-free Banana-Pecan Coffee Cake looks scrumptious.
I’d love to win these books! Thanks for the opportunity!
