LORENA PALOMBO - VEGAN IN A VAN - BOOK

Lorena Palombo: Vegan in the Van

Freedom for Enjoyment & Creativity

Paperback, with color illustrations, 216 pages

Versatile vegan cuisine in a small space: on the go, in a camper, or at home

Immediately after completing her thesis, young business psychologist Lorena Palombo embarks on an adventurous European road trip in her van, with no destination or time limit. Her mission: minimalist travel, breathtaking nature photography, and the best vegan culinary art based on regional, natural foods. Since then, thousands of followers have been accompanying Lorena, her dog, and her vegan kitchen on four wheels – via Instagram or at her culinary cooking seminars live from the van.

This cookbook quickly makes it clear how delicious and simple vegan cuisine can be, even in the smallest spaces. Because you don't need a luxury kitchen to create healthy, varied dishes. Lorena Palombo achieves this through a decelerated and minimalist lifestyle in her van. Through creativity and freedom, the view is infinitely expanded, even without much space. This results in almost 100 easy-to-cook recipes with that special "kick" in seven categories, from "Breakfast: Smoothie Bowls & Veggi Eggs" to "Quinoa, Curries & Co." and "Van Bowls & Colorful Delights."

Versatile recipes, appealingly photographed in nature or directly in the van, encourage you to cook them: chickpeas with peanut butter, agave syrup, and chocolate for breakfast, with banana and coconut flakes, shakshuka with scrambled tofu, roasted tofu-cauliflower on beetroot carpaccio, or papaya-lentil curry are already mouth-watering at first sight.

Plus, there are many practical tips such as:

– Storage: How can the limited space be optimally utilized?

– Intuitive shopping promotes creativity and freedom in vegan cooking.

– Kitchen equipment: What equipment does a minimalist kitchen need to cook healthy and delicious meals?
