Vegans
have often been misunderstood or treated with suspicion because
of their beliefs. Now, this strict form of vegetarianism is attracting
thousands of new adherents both young and old and it has now become
socially accepted as more people learn the health risks of eating
too much meat and the benefits both to themselves and the planet
of a plant-based diet.
Vegan with a Vengenace is a vegan cookbook for the 21st century.
It is the creation of Isa Chandra Moskowitz, co-host of the hugely
successful TV vegan cookery show in the US called The Post Punk
Kitchen which has also a very popular allied website, www.theppk.com.
Isa's cooking philosophy embraces being kind to animals (all recipes
are completely animal-product free) and your wallet - which being
creative and having fun in the process. She emphasises fresh ingredients
and says that, like good music, cooking is best when it's innovative
and experimental. Her ispired recipes - covering all the meals for
the day and influenced by dishes from around the worl include: Asparagus
and Sun-dried Tomato Frittata, Sweet Potato Hash with Five-Spice
and Watercress, White Bean and Roasted Garlic Soup, Fresh Mango
Summer Rolls, Ginger Roasted Winter Vegetables, Cold Udon Noodles
with Peanut Sauce, Raspberry and Chocolate Chip Blondie Bars and
Lemon Gem Cupcakes.
Isa Chandra Moskowitz lives in Brooklyn, NY.
