Vegan. Vegan. Vegan. Everywhere it’s all about plant-based food – even Anne Fleck, also known as Doc Fleck, is jumping on the bandwagon with her new cookbook. “It’s hardly healthier”, which she wrote together with Bettina Matthaei, provides basic vegan recipes that can optionally be served with mini-portions of meat and fish. The promise: Every bite brings a little more vitality.
Green is healthy. This was already known before the mainstreaming of vegetarianism and now also veganism, after all, the philosopher Pythagoras and universal genius Leonardo da Vinci would have eaten plant-based, knows the preventive and nutritional doctor. But a vegan diet is not always healthier than one with meat and sausage. Not every product that is labeled as vegan is good for the body – keyword: additives. “You shouldn’t put up with what’s offered in colorful marketing promises as healthy and vegan in the long run,” explains Fleck. Instead, the diet should consist of unprocessed, fresh foods, lots of vegetables and with an eye on any nutrient deficiencies.
This is how healthy enjoyment goes according to Anne Fleck
So what does the perfect plant-based plate look like? According to Doc Fleck, ideally half of it should be made up of filling vegetables, salads and low-sugar fruit. The necessary amounts of protein come from nuts, seeds, legumes and omega-3 fats. And it has to taste good. Her secret wish was therefore to make a book full of recipes that tasted so good “that even Obelix would do without his daily portion of wild boar”. So dishes like zucchini spirals with fried cherry tomatoes and feta, shakshuka with lentils, tomatoes and cashew eggs or a bowl with Brussels sprouts, sweet potato wedges, mushrooms and beetroot. In addition to small and main courses, the book also includes salads and soups, bowls, spreads and desserts. But also power bars and balls for in between meals.
