Fuss-free vegan cooking that always tastes good

about the books

More people than ever want to cut down on the amount of meat and dairy they consume, but vegan recipes are often complicated and full of expensive, hard to find ingredients.

I help people learn simple, delicious vegan recipes that save them time and money, so they can live the lifestyle that’s right for them without sacrificing their enjoyment of food.

hi, I’m Katy Beskow

Author, food writer, cookery tutor, and recipe developer. I have a passion for seasonal ingredients, vibrant food, and fuss-free home cooking.

Once inspired by a bustling and colourful fruit market in South London, I now live in rural Yorkshire and cook from my small (yet perfectly functioning) kitchen.

When I started the vegan recipe blog Little Miss Meat-Free back in 2013, I never dreamed that within a year I’d be teaching cooking classes, demonstrating at food festivals, working with a handful of well-known brands, and writing for a national magazine.

I have since released nine best-selling vegan cookbooks, and my tenth book is released in September, that help pave the way for the everyday home cook to enjoy satisfying vegan food without the fuss or the expense.

My tenth book, Easy Vegan Christmas, is available to pre-order now.

let’s chat about vegan living

How can I get started with vegan cooking?

Start with one vegan meal a week, then try a vegan day. Gradually replace your dairy milk with non-dairy milk and your honey with maple syrup. Spend some extra time at the supermarket checking out the vegan options. Try a new recipe. Bake a vegan cake. You’ll be hooked.

 

But I can’t cook!

You’ll find that vegan cooking requires very few ‘formal’ skills. You don’t have to worry about under-cooked meat or bones in fish. I’m self-taught and learn something new every day. I hope my recipes give you a clear, step-by-step guide to vegan cooking. And if you learn better in company, why not come along to one of my cooking classes?

 

Isn’t it expensive to be vegan?

Not at all. In fact, it can save you money. Meat and fish are probably two of the most expensive items on your shopping list. By cutting them out you’ll be making instant savings.

I don’t use any unusual or expensive ingredients in my recipes, and my latest book, 15 Minute Vegan On a Budget, is full of money saving tips and tricks.

 

Is it hard to find cafes and restaurants that serve vegan food?

Vegan food is becoming more and more popular, and there are plenty of options to eat vegan when you’re out and about. Chains like Frankie and Benny’s, Pizza Express, and Ask all serve vegan options, and you’ll find vegan options on the menu at lots of smaller places now, especially when you’re in a city.

 

I don’t have time to shop for unusual vegan ingredients.

I don’t use any ingredients in my recipe books that you won’t be able to find in your local supermarket. Lots of other vegan cooks do, but I prefer to keep things simple and fuss-free. I know you’re short on time because I am too.

 

I’ve been vegan for a while, will I still enjoy your recipes?

My recipes are enjoyed by new and experienced vegans alike. If you’re getting bored of the same old dishes, perhaps it’s time you freshened things up and added something new to your repertoire?
