The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat

by TalRonnen (Author)

Synopsis

A former steak lover himself, Chef Tal struggled for years on a vegan diet that left him hungry and filled with cravings for butter and meat. About ten years ago, he decided that the best way to satisfy his dietary desires was to make food that was good enough for 'foodies' and could gratify his cravings for rich flavor and fat. The solution? Create vegan meals with substantial proteins that could literally change the way people eat. He studied all aspects of non-meat proteins and today is widely regarded as the expert in the field, developing new concepts for meals and sauces and helping to improve textures for food companies. "The Conscious Cook" is a breakthrough in vegan cuisine. By teaching readers how to make truly satisfying and delicious meals without the meat and dairy, it makes the shift to a vegan lifestyle easy.
