The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat
by Tal Ronnen
We guess you could call him the vegan chef to the stars. Oprah Winfrey deemed him the “world’s greatest vegan chef,” and he catered Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s wedding. So, it would seem that with those kinds of credentials, his cookbook is worth checking out. And, it is. The book contains 75 satisfying recipes, from starters to entrees to desserts and everything in between. $19.79 at www.amazon.com.
