Podcast Ep 133: The Pollan Family on ‘Mostly Plants’
In this episode we speak with three of the famous Pollan family cookbook authors (Dana, Lori, and Corky) about their latest collaboration, Mostly Plants: 101 Flexitarian Recipes from the Pollan Family. They’re proof that, with some creativity and proper planning, following a plant-based diet can be delicious, nutritious — and doable, even if not everyone you’re cooking for is on the exact same page when it comes to food preferences.
The Pollans believe in creating meals that will satisfy everyone at the table — vegetarians, flexitarians, and meat eaters alike. With that in mind, they’ve created a whole slew of recipes that are truly accessible; in fact, most of them can be created in under 35 minutes! So, if you’re looking for some plant-based inspiration, this episode will make you all kinds of happy!
