Your Guide to Conquering Cravings with Vegan Chef Nekia

About The Book

Healthier Recipes for Life’s Cravings is a hand-held journey with your new food bestie, Vegan Chef Nekia. A foodie turned damn good cook, she’s here to help you interrupt your cravings and discover healthier options that put you in control, rather than letting cravings boss you around. Vegan Chef Nekia equips you with a holistic food arsenal to conquer every craving: sweets, spicy bites, starches, ice cream dreams, crunchy delights, chocolate fantasies, cheese yearnings, and all the cravings that sneak up in moments of reflection.

Before you assume these recipes are anything less than delicious, let me stop you dead in your tracks. Vegan Chef Nekia doesn’t believe in “good for being vegan”; it’s either good or it’s not. She firmly believes that serving lackluster, flavorless food is a culinary sin. Some of her non-vegan and vegan customers alike have dubbed her food as “the Lord’s work” because of its irresistible deliciousness. These recipes will wrangle in your cravings while satisfying your taste buds and leaving you guilt-free.

What’s Inside?

You can trust me with your cravings because “I believe bland food is a sin, and my recipes will testify!”
