Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes

Michael Natkin's Herbivoracious and its 150 recipes herald a new generation in meatless cooking and vegetarian cookbooks. This is grown-up vegetarian food, visually stunning on the plate (as seen in more than 80 color photographs), intensely flavored in a way that will appeal to readers with a sophisticated and adventurous global palate, health-conscious in a natural but not preachy manner, and above all, reflecting the author's own prodigious originality and creativity in the kitchen-exactly the traits that have made his blog the go-to destination for new and tasty ideas in vegetarian eating. Natkin, a vegetarian himself, provides lots of advice on how to craft vegetarian meals that amply deliver nutrients, and the imaginative menus he presents deliver balanced and complementary flavors. The many dozens of vegan and gluten-free recipes are clearly noted, too, and an introductory chapter lays out the simple steps to outfit a globally inspired pantry of seasonings and sauces that make meatless food come alive.
