The Occasional Vegan is a collection of 70 simple, affordable and delicious recipes, suitable for newcomers and long-time vegans alike, that will keep you well-fed and healthy. Sarah Philpott’s recipes are accompanied by the story of her own journey to becoming a vegan, exploring the ethical and lifestyle arguments for a plant-based diet. It’s a journey that more and more people are taking – the number of vegans has increased by 350% in the past decade – and food lover Philpott shows that embracing veganism certainly doesn’t need to break the bank. Her recipes are homely and easily cooked, suitable for old and young, gourmet cooks and the kitchen novice.
The Occasional Vegan is divided into four sections: The Working Week: quick meals for busy people; Something for the Weekend: lazy brunches and Sunday lunches; High Days and Holidays: special occasions like birthdays, Christmas and Easter; Comfort Food and Children’s Favourites. Each section is packed with delicious dishes and illustrated with gorgeous photographs by Manon Houston.
Health, affordability, the environment, animal welfare: there are many reasons for becoming a vegan – or becoming more vegan – and in The Occasional Vegan Sarah Philpott shows how to do it, in the kitchen and in life.

Vegan Burd
“[Sarah Philpott’s] reasoning to try vegan food is sound. Less cruelty, more deliciousness, and some more healthful fare. But this doesn’t come with a glare and crossed arms. It is for us to enjoy. It is vegan food, and it’s for everyone.”
