#59: THE BEST VEGAN & PLANT-BASED COOKBOOKS—FINDING YOUR MATCH

In this episode, we interview Dustin Harder, author of several vegan cookbooks and host of the Keep On Cookin' podcast. Finding a good cookbook (or two or three or ten) is a fantastic entryway into the plant-based lifestyle. And yet this kind of gold (a great cookbook) can be difficult to find.

Greetings, friends!

We're so excited to welcome Dustin Harder, aka The Vegan Roadie, onto The Plant-Powered People Podcast and to chat all about vegan cookbooks! The good, the bad, the delicious, the inspiring, the empowering foodie wins, and the totally nasty and disheartening cookbook fails.
