Five years ago, Brandi Doming of The Vegan 8 became a vegan, overhauling the way she and her family ate after a health diagnosis for her husband. The effects have been life-changing. Her recipes rely on refreshingly short ingredient lists that are ideal for anyone new to plant-based cooking or seeking simplified, wholesome, family-friendly options for weeknight dinners.

All of the recipes are dairy-free and most are oil-free, gluten-free, and nut-free (if not, Brandi offers suitable alternatives), and ideally tailored to meet the needs of an array of health conditions. Each of the 100 recipes uses just 8 or fewer ingredients (not including salt, pepper, or water) to create satisfying, comforting meals from breakfast to dessert.

Features recipes such as:

• Bakery-Style Blueberry Muffins
• Fool ’Em “Cream Cheese” Spinach-Artichoke Dip
• Cajun Veggie and Potato Chowder
• Skillet Baked Mac n’ Cheese
• No-Bake Chocolate Espresso Fudge Cake

and more.

Brandi Doming is the creator of the blog, The Vegan 8. She is also a mom, wife, designer, and blogger. Her blog was voted a Top 21 Vegan Blog of 2016 by the popular vegan magazine, VegNews, she’s appeared regularly in Forks Over Knives magazine, and was featured in the documentary Eating You Alive.
