*In the first printing of The Power of Protein by Sarah Di Lorenzo (releasing 25 November 2025), some recipes containing meat were mistakenly included in the vegetarian/vegan section of the book. Vegetarian or vegan readers can substitute the meat protein in these recipes with tofu or another preferred plant-based alternative.

Simon & Schuster Australia sincerely apologises for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused.
