Veganuary
It’s the start of a new year. You may be thinking it’s too late for a resolution or what could it be? You may be putting off a resolution due to the commitment, however what if we here at Austin Macauley Publisher’s provided you with a month-long resolution which only provides slight changes to your everyday eating habits.
Veganuary is an annual event aimed at encouraging non-vegans to adopt a vegan diet during the month of January. You may be confused as to where to start and how to embark on this month-long resolution. But leave the guidance to us, you just worry about the cooking. At Austin Macauley Publishers we have a range of vegan cooking books which shall be your guiding star:
Nourish with Nish
Money can also be a big reason as to why a lot of people cannot embark on Veganuary. Inês Teixeira-Dias earned the name Nish from her university friends, and she came up with meals for students trying to save time and money, so these recipes will leave you with your beer money for the weekends, do not fret. Nish was greatly influenced by her local markets, researching fresh fruits and vegetables, and experimenting with them. She combined the cooking methods and techniques that her Portuguese grandmother taught her to create beautiful and delicious vegan recipes. Her book isn’t aimed at turning you vegan but encouraging you to add some plant-based alternatives to your meals and life. A flexitarian if you will.
Don’t worry about after a night out and those alcohol cravings kick in begging for something from the chippy, Nish has you covered. She provides a list of alternatives for a nice grease filled dish after an alcoholic night out, so don’t worry about breaking that vegan diet. She also provides cooking tips and tricks to make your new vegan diet as easy as possible teaching you the basics of how to check if your food is done, how to properly cook your food and nutritional information on what you are consuming. If you are someone who is into their fitness and want great plant-based protein ideas or someone trying to lose weight, Nourish with Nish is the perfect book to help you.
With a range of meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert you’ll never get sick of the vegan life! Give Nish’s book a read and embark on a journey of vegan desserts to Tofu Scramble toast!

The Benefits of Going Vegan
Still need convincing? Well vegan diets can help with the following:
- Reducing the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels.
- Vegan diets are greatly beneficial. As the diet is completely meat, dairy and animal-based products free and plant-based foods like beans and grains contain a mixture of both protein, cards and fat meaning they cover all grounds. It is important to be weary of carb intake when being diabetic as carbs affect your blood sugar levels.
- A source of protein: Protein does not always have to just come from animals, in fact there are many planted based protein alternatives. So don’t think your weight loss or bulking journey will be limited by your change in diet choice.
- Vegan foods are rich in nutrients: Vegans tend to consume more antioxidants, potassium, magnesium, folate, and vitamins A, C And E.
Veganuary is perfect in reducing your food wastage, following a healthy diet, and changing the way you view what you put in your body. Let our books be your vegan teachers and guide you on your mission. With all the veganism benefits listed above why not make Veganuary your New Years resolution! At Austin Macauley Publishers we recognise the importance of going vegan, but most of all we recognise the importance of setting realistic goals that are attainable.
