Traditional meat and dairy recipes have been documented and elaborated upon for decades now, and though sometimes there is a new twist on an old process, there is not much new to learn about Western nations’ meat and dairy dishes. These days, however, there are many more vegans amongst us, finding new ingredients and new techniques in the search to recover old favorite recipes in a new vegan format, or to create new dishes altogether, and what a pleasure to find that so many such cooks exist! Lisa Dawn Angerame is one of these explorers. She was quite sure she could ‘veganize’ all her old favorites, and this volume is proof that her efforts are successful. Cook well and enjoy!
