Great Chefs Cook Vegan - Linda Long
It is possible to have taste buds and a heart, a fact seldom acknowledged by chefs. The vegan mantra at most restaurants is, “I guess I’ll have the garden salad.” Eventually, some chefs achieve enlightenment and give us what we really want: fricassee of morels and fava beans with coconut taro purée, or perhaps charred corn ravioli with basil fondue. Delicious choices abound in Great Chefs Cook Vegan (Gibbs Smith, $35) by Linda Long. Twenty-five chefs, among them Jean-Georges Vongerichten, José Andrés, and Charlie Trotter, contributed recipes—all of which have been mouthwateringly photographed. It’s rabbit food for the world’s most sophisticated bunnies.
