The Vegetarian Flavor Bible

Throughout time, people have chosen to adopt a vegetarian or vegan diet for a
variety of reasons, from ethics to economy to personal and planetary well-
being. Experts now suggest a new reason for doing so: maximizing flavor --
which is too often masked by meat-based stocks or butter and cream. The
Vegetarian Flavor Bible is an essential guide to culinary creativity, based on
insights from dozens of leading American chefs, representing such acclaimed
restaurants as Crossroads and M.A.K.E. in Los Angeles; Candle 79, Dirt Candy,
and Kajitsu in New York City, Green Zebra in Chicago, Greens and Millennium in
San Francisco, Natural Selection and Portobello in Portland, Plum Bistro in
Seattle, and Vedge in Philadelphia.

Emphasizing plant-based whole foods including vegetables, fruits, grains,
legumes, nuts, and seeds, the book provides an A-to-Z listing of hundreds of
ingredients, from avßav? to zucchini blossoms, cross-referenced with the
herbs, spices, and other seasonings that best enhance their flavor, resulting
in thousands of recommended pairings. The Vegetarian Flavor Bible is the ideal
reference for the way millions of people cook and eat today -- vegetarians,
vegans, and omnivores alike. This groundbreaking book will empower both home
cooks and professional chefs to create more compassionate, healthful, and
flavorful cuisine.
