Many people choose a vegan diet without paying attention to the acid-base balance. We all tend to suffer from excess acid. Therefore it is important for the human body to add 'base suppliers' to every meal. Plenty of high-quality oils, herbs, spices and fermentation products are used in every recipe in this cookbook. Vegan and alkaline food is not an invention of recent years. Our immediate ancestors ate base soups in the form of vegetable soups on a daily basis and were aware of the health benefits of fermented products such as sauerkraut or pickles. How you can make raw vegetables 'alkaline' and what ingredients you need for vegan-alkaline cooking is described in detail. At its heart are more than 100 simple and proven recipes. From the contents: Foreword by Heather Mills, owner of a vegan restaurant chain; detailed product knowledge of the base ingredients; more than 100 vegan-alkaline recipes: appetizers, salads, dips, soups, warm dishes and sweets
