COPY ISBN
Restaurateur, prolific vegan cookbook author, and former host of the Post Punk Kitchen public-access cooking show, Moskowitz dives into the plant-based meat trend with her latest title. While grocery stores are full of meat alternatives, Moskowitz provides readers a myriad of options for avoiding these store-bought products. Recipes are big on comfort and cover everything from snacks and sandwiches to Sunday feasts. “Hot Takes” gives readers a wide variety of tips from using leftovers to sourcing ingredients. It’s important to note that most recipes are two-fold and require cooks first prepare the fake meat or dairy and then use that to complete the main dish. Moskowitz even includes a chapter on proxy dairy products, which is a welcome addition. This cookbook will be a welcome resource for the vegan and vegan curious who aren’t satisfied with commercial substitutes and are looking for fun vegan recipes.
VERDICT Vegans looking to start from scratch and create homemade meat and dairy alternatives will be impressed by the wide variety of plant-based options found here and will enjoy the many comfort food staples.
