Brandi Doming became vegan, overhauling the way she and her family ate after a health diagnosis for her husband. The effects were life-changing. Her recipes rely on refreshingly short ingredient lists ideal for anyone new to plant-based cooking or seeking simplified, wholesome, family-friendly options for weeknight dinners. All of the recipes in her cookbook, The Vegan 8, are dairy-free, and most are oil-free, gluten-free, and nut-free, and ideally tailored to meet the needs of an array of health conditions.
