We would like to thank The Kanji Family, The Marcone Family, The Pineda Nava Family, The Derpo Family, The Yao Family, and The Au Family for inviting us—virtually—into their homes, and around their dinner tables with open minds and for taste-testing these recipes.

The Guelph Family Health Study (GFHS) would also like to thank the following for their support, and for helping us to continue to improve the health of children and families:

• The Helderleigh Foundation

• George Brown College’s Food Innovation and Research Studio (FIRSt)

• Health Canada’s Office of Nutrition Policy and Promotion

• Our Food Future Guelph-Wellington

• Canadian Nutrition Society

• Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs

Our partnership with George Brown College’s Food Innovation and Research Studio (FIRSt) was invaluable on this project, and without them we would not have been able to deliver easy-to-follow,

plant-based recipes for this collection.

To all our GFHS team members who made this cookbook possible, thank you! Our faculty leadership, Jess Haines, David Ma, Alison Duncan, and Andrea Buchholz, supporting members Angela Annis, Kathryn Walton, and Maude Perreault, and our students, Katherine Eckert, Sarah Wedde, Hannah Whibbs, and MacKenzie Harris.

The recipes included were tested both in the George Brown College test kitchen, as well as in the home kitchens of the GFHS team, so they are tried and true. We have also featured three plant-based recipes directly from the Canada’s Food Guide website.

Thank you for including us in your family meals by trying these recipes—we can’t wait for you to fall in love with plant-based cooking!
