Description
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Christmas is one of our favourite holidays! It’s filled with sparkling lights, delicious cozy food, and plenty of gatherings with our family and close friends. However, trying to put together a fully plant-based (mostly gluten-free) celebration can be a source of stress for many. This is why we came up with this Vegan Christmas E-book.
Whether you’re planning to have a fully plant-based Christmas or are just looking for a few vegan-friendly dishes to include in your holiday menu, here you’ll find everything you need and more to make your Christmas celebration extra special.
The holidays should bring everyone together but sadly most vegan products include so much gluten especially centrepieces like vegan turkey or ham whose main ingredient, seitan, is pure gluten. This means people who are gluten allergic, intolerant, or simply want to avoid gluten are left out. This is why we centred our research on making Gluten-Free Vegan Centrepieces using pea protein and tofu as the main ingredients.
Our Christmas recipes aren’t just plant-based but mostly gluten-free as well. And with that we mean we have actually created Vegan & Gluten-Free show-stopping centrepieces such as our GF Stuffed No-Turkey and our GF Swedish Vegan Ham.
This cookbook includes 145 Vegan Recipes and 120 of those are 100% Gluten-Free or very easily made Gluten-Free!
All Gluten-Free Recipes are clearly marked with a GF Symbol so you can spot them quickly!
You will receive two PDF versions of the e-book. One full resolution for the highest quality, and one lower resolution that is perfect for your phone or a low-powered device.

Firstly, the pictures in this book are gorgeous and inspiring. I find that many cookbooks do not have enough pictures, leaving me to guess the outcome of the final product. Not this one! Every recipe has its own picture!
Secondly, I’m slowly making my way through the recipes in this ebook and so far they have all been wonderful. I’m gluten-free and the gluten-free stuffed ‘turkey’ recipe was a complete game-changer for me and my family. I made it for Christmas eve and everybody at home loved it! Very easy to make, much easier than making seitan.
I have to give special mention to the pumpkin pie and the tiramisu and THE VEGAN FOIE GRAS and EASY BLUE CHEEZE recipes which are just amazing. Even looking at the ebook makes me feel all christmassy due to the gorgeous photography and styling. It’s a keeper.

This e-book is amazing! You can find all your favorite childhood holiday foods (but vegan) and so much more! There are beautiful photos of every dish, and really love that the authors even thought of a detox chapter! It’s all you need to plan the perfect holiday spread (Thanksgiving appropriate as well).
