The Mindful Kitchen Map : The new system for ethical veganism and neurodiverse wellbeing

This innovative cookbook, written by vegan chef influencer known as the Mensch Chef, rewrites the kitchen rulebook, moving away from stuffy tradition to neurodiversity-friendly techniques, mapping your journey to an entirely sustainable kitchen oasis.

The Mindful Kitchen Map takes a fresh and radical approach to kitchen organization, rethinking the way we cook from the ground up. Tomaso Mannu, also known as the Mensch Chef, shows you how to find calm and empowerment in the kitchen, by breaking it down into 6 different regions: the pantry, the cabinets, the bin, the refrigerator, the freezer and the homegrown haven. Within each area, discover how to make all your own vegan staples and instant ready-to-eat meals, with clever ways to use up potential waste, and stock up your fridge and freezer so that you'll never struggle to decide what to have for dinner again. And more than that, with the kitchen as your map, begin your journey towards a more mindful, holistic way of life.

• Build your entirely vegan pantry as a foundation for nutritious cooking with homemade staples like flours, condiments and spice mixes.
• Organize your cabinets for efficiency and ease, creating shelf-stable ingredients like super granola, activated nut butters and DIY gravy granules
• Embrace zero-waste philosophy by seeing the bin as your resource recovery centre with creative uses for leftovers like date seed coffee, apple cider vinegar and zero-waste crostatina
• Stock your fridge with all your homemade dairy-free essentials, meat alternatives, juices and probiotics
• Fill your freezer with incredible homemade and healthy instant meals like anytime pizza, instant tagliatelle and coconut and biscoff ice cream.
• Establish an organic garden anywhere, even on a balcony or windowsill, and make the most of your produce with recipes like herb-infused oil, nasturtium jelly, and chard and fennel kimchi

Do you want to take back ownership of what you eat, to avoid waste, UPFs and contributing to the climate crisis? With the Mindful Kitchen Map as your blueprint, you can be sure you are eating food that positively impacts the planet, your mental health and your wallet.
