Cool vegan, Sarah Kramer, knows how to travel. Here she shares her top tips and recipes whether it's armchair travel, staying with your mum or zooming around the world that you are planning.
My daughter begged us to buy this for her, and we happily obliged. We've now benefited from Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies and the divine Big Ben's Lentil Burgers. Many feature quotes from people who have tried her recipes, such as 'This is so delicious it makes the house smell amazing' from Sheila of British Columbia. Each recipe is clearly marked as to whether it is 'quick and easy', 'will impress' and/or 'needs special ingredients'.
Don't be fooled by the size of this user-friendly mini tome - it has 230 tiny pages packed with as many recipes as you'd find in a large book. The difference is, you won't think twice about taking this one with you.
If you are staying somewhere catered you could even hand this book, with a winning smile to the chef. No excuses for not knowing how to make something tasty then!
On top of all this there are top tips on what to bring with you suitable for any traveller, as well as specifically animal-friendly tips.
A perfect gift for any friend or family member with wander lust, even if they only get as far as the kitchen.
