Evolving Vegan will be available in September 2020
Canadian-Egyptian actor Mena Massoud has released a cookbook entitled Evolving Vegan.
Evolving Vegan, part-cookbook, part-travel guide, focuses on plant-based home cooked meals and explores what it means to eat vegan. It will be available in September 2020.
Massoud, who recently starred in Disney's 2019 live-action film Aladdin, chronicles his experiences and discoveries from his recent road trip across North America in Evolving Vegan.
The book will feature 80 international recipes, including dishes like tofu pad thai, fresh chickpea salad and raw sweet potato lasagna, as well as tips for lifelong vegans and people transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle.
Massoud will also share recipes by vegan chefs he met during his travels.
