What it is:
A best-selling cookbook that applies traditional French cooking techniques to vegan cuisine.
Why we love it:
Who would think that vegan could taste so good? The "Conscious Cook" is a breakthrough in meatless cuisine because of the gourmet quality of the recipes. 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. By applying traditional French culinary techniques to meatless cuisine, he found that he could gratify his cravings for rich flavor and fat. This is not a cookbook of sprouts and tofu burgers, but of mouth-watering, hearty meals that keep the protein at the center of your plate. It features 75 original recipes that will satisfy the fussiest foodies and the most dedicated of carnivores.
