We saw this "Voluptuous Vegan"


Very rarely do we found "voluptuous" and "vegan" in the same light, perhaps because the meat and dairy-fee vegan diet has a reputation for being a little Spartan. WELLNESS PICKS came across Myra Kornfeld, who spent years creating lavish vegetarian fare at New York's legendary Angelica Kitchen, has made veggies the life of the party in this one-of-kind cooking reference.

The Voluptuous Vegan contains myriad ways to bring out the animal in the vegetable turf: cooking them down, dressing them up, and combining bright colors and sumptuous flavors into menus in which meat and dairy are NEVER MISSED. Fine, you never have room for them. Hearty treats like Chili and Corn Biscuit Casserole, Pumpkin-Sage-Pecan Ravioli or Lemon Pudding Cake with Blueberry Glaze put any lingering associations between veganism and deprivation soundly to rest, while still being centered on healthy whole foods that nourish your body.  Any parent's dream is a collection of Maple-sweetened desserts. 

Vegans, vegetarians, voracious carnivores and any enthusiastic home cooks alike will find this cookbook an excellent addition their kitchen library.  WELLNESS PICKS finds The Voluptuous Vegan a handy resource for anyone who wants to lower his or her intake of animal products and take delight in the process.

And while you are at it, we like you to check out the recipes in this vegan of a blog: VOLUPTUOUS VEGAN
