At the same time, the book discourages 'evil' ingredients and addresses many of today's food conundrums (GMOs, organic versus nonorganic, etc.). A recipe section features easy-to-make fish dishes, plus some of Amy's most decadent vegan recipes. As with the authors' first book,The Vegan Cheat Sheet, all recipes are oil-free. It's the ultimate manual for delicious, healthful eating. You will learn to: Maximize your nutrient intake with plant-based, nutrient-dense foods, along with omega 3 rich fish. Enjoy more freedom when preparing meals or dining out by including some seafood in your diet. Prepare satisfying portions by eliminating or lightening up on unhealthy fats. Avoid the 'bad boys' (additives, sugars, trans fats, etc.). Use healthy replacements for popular 'guilty pleasures' (i.e., fast food and junk food)"-- Provided by publisher.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A cheat sheet for vegans who want to stray the healthy way.

If going whole-hog vegan seems too daunting or restrictive, then adopting a seagan (seafood + vegan) diet could be your golden ticket to delicious, nutritious eating. Start with a plant-based foundation and add the 'cheat' of fish several times a week for meal variety and a boost of precious omega-3 fatty acids, which may help protect against heart disease, certain cancers, high cholesterol, and more.

In this first-of-its-kind seagan guidebook, you'll find all the tips and tools you need to jumpstart your healthy, delicious plant-and seafood-based diet-

- More than 66 simple, decadent, oil-free seagan and vegan recipes - including three weeks of menus
- A buying guide to the healthiest, most sustainable seafood
- Must-have kitchen staples, plus recipe hacks to make prep fast and easy
- Advice for navigating today's confusing food trends, like GMOs, organic versus nonorganic, tricky ingredient labels, and 'superfoods'

Includes bibliographical references (pages 233-238) and index.
