Vegan restaurant cookbooks can be inspiring but demanding. To recreate these dishes from Seattle's Plum Bistro—elegant creations like Fig Crepes with Ricotta, Arugula and Agave Balsamic, and Roasted Yam Ravioli with Apple Tempeh Fillets and Chanterelle Cream Sauce, clearly identified when gluten or soy free—readers will need a powerful blender and an arsenal of meat and dairy substitutes. Many of the ingredients lists reference basic recipes from the first chapter.
VERDICT This will please fans of high-end vegan food, but the Candle 79 Cookbook, which includes a homemade seitan recipe, cocktails, a glossary, and a list of resources, is a better choice.
