I found this book about 6 months into my vegan time. And I was so relieved. Here is a cook that understands you need hearty, 'meaty' meals. Now you might be wondering why a vegan is using the word 'meaty'; well, it is all about trying to describe that feeling you get when you have something that has the great savoury taste and mouth feel. Most people get that in meat or cheese but it is in other non-meat/dairy products. Anyway Isa Chandra Moskowitz knows all about it with her vegan super powers.
So this book is filled with so many good recipes: mac n' cheese, glam chowder, korean bbq portobello burgers, coconut chana saag, and lentil quinoa stew. All with witty notes about the preparation and ingredients... hear this about the lentil quinoa stew.
The holy trinity of lentils, quinoa and kale - all the classics in one pot! There may be some of you out there who don't have a recipe like this, and so it's important to spread the gospel. ...Quinoa and lentils provide the heartiness and plenty of protein, and a whole bushel of kale completes the meal and gives you vegan superpowers.
Now I know to ABS ( always be soaking) and that nutritional yeast equates to fairy dust!
