- Gena Hamshaw

Gone are the days of eating boring salads if you want to lose weight or increase your intake of vegetables. Countless chefs and cookbook authors have proven that plant-based recipes can be the most delicious ones on the table. Case in point: The new cookbook The Vegan Week, which is filled with simple, healthy and delicious meals. “Variety is the spice of life, and it’s also a cornerstone of healthful eating,” says registered dietitian and author Gena Hamshaw. “Our bodies flourish when we take in a wide array of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients) and a balance of macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and healthful fats).” Taste the balance in these flavorful dishes tonight!
