Award-winning author and Miami native Ellen Kanner brings Miami to your table with over 80 recipes delivering succulence, sizzle, and the big sun-drenched flavors you love— all with a plant-based spin.

Taste it all with recipes like:

Miami Vegan recipes awaken you to the pleasures of plants with easy techniques that up your game in the kitchen and make fresh produce sing. Discover how the spangle of citrus, the gentle warmth of chiles and spices and the bounty of fresh green herbs have the power to transform even simple staples like rice and beans into a party-worthy hot pot that feeds a crowd.

Miami knows how to throw a party, and Kanner, author of Feeding the Hungry Ghost: Life, Faith and What to Eat for Dinner, invites you to be part of it. Miami Vegan brings the city’s bright tropical flavors to your kitchen with vibrant, accessible recipes so you can enjoy the taste of Miami no matter where you live.

VegNews Pick for Book of the Year!

Named One of Top 10 Best Vegan Books!

What do we turn to for both everyday sustenance and seasonal celebration? Food. Often, though, we’re like the hungry ghosts of Taoist lore, eating mindlessly, wandering aimlessly, and wanting more — more than food itself can provide. Ellen Kanner believes that if we put in a little thought and preparation, every meal can feed not only our bodies but our souls and our communities as well. Warm, wicked, and one-of-a-kind, Ellen offers an irreverent approach to bringing reverence into daily living — and eating. She presents global vegan recipes that call you to the table, stories that make you stand up and cheer, and gentle nudges that aim to serve up what we’re hungry for: a more vital self, more loving and meaningful connections, a nourished and nourishing world, and great food, too. Feeding the Hungry Ghost by Ellen Kanner will challenge you to decide: keep reading or start cooking?
