"I have cooked and created the best high plant-protein cuisine, specifically for vegan athletes, that exists in the industry. And it's all here in an easy to follow recipe book." Kim Constablehave always been a fanatical cook. My mother suffers from the overfeeding gene, which I guess I inherited by default. I love nothing more than gathering people together for lunches, dinners and kitchen suppers, serving multiple dishes of delicious food. When I became vegan, my family and friends gave a collective gasp of horror. What would happen to my notorious dinner parties where we gathered around the kitchen table, eating and drinking into the "wee small hours" (as we say in Belfast, where I'm from)?However, I was determined that being vegan wasn't going to cramp my style. If anything, I was out to prove to the world that you don't need to eat animals to enjoy delicious food. I set about "veganising" my favourite meals, testing and tweaking until they were so perfect, that not even the most hardened carnivore could complain. I experimented with making my own cheeses, tofu and nut milks, roping in my friends and family to critique my creations and opening their minds to new possibilities that didn't harm animals in their creation.When I started body-building, it was a no brainer to continue my vegan journey. My diet now called for me to measure my macros (protein, carbohydrate and fat) and I was pleased to discover that my daily meals contained more than enough protein for my muscle building needs. And if they didn't, all I needed to do was add a scoop of protein powder here, or a few extra flaxseeds there, and hey presto, I hit my target.So when people started asking me "How do you get your protein?" I was confused. Surely they knew that protein is contained in nearly every single whole food? Even spinach contains more than 4g of protein per 100g! But clearly, the world had been so brainwashed into thinking that they needed animal protein to build muscle, they had no idea that it was easy to hit your daily protein needs on a vegan diet.This book contains some of my favourite recipes for building muscle and burning fat. They are the exact recipes that I have created and eaten, and that took me all the way to the stage as a vegan physique competitor. And to make it extra easy, we've included the nutrient breakdown of each dish, so you can easily track your own daily nutritional needs. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I enjoyed creating them. Feel free to experiment and omit things you don't like and add things you do. And give yourself a high five and a bum slap for the fact that you are not contributing to your own health and well being, but you're basically saving the planet in the process.
