This book is essentially about providing an easy basis for adopting a vegan lifestyle and enjoying it for a lifetime. It's about grounding oneself in a book of familiar sounding "comfort" foods that are free of all saturated fat, cholesterol and animal proteins. It's about unplugging from the mainstream of culinary knowledge with its roots in animal products and entering a world of interrelated vegetable sourced materials. It's also about the future of our planet and humanity, as we begin to evolve into who we really are, and what our real purpose is on this planet.
The chief interest of this book is its sheer magnitude. With 494 pages of recipes and information, this cookbook covers everything anyone would want to know about vegan home-style cooking. Using a relatively small grocery list of vegetables, specialized substances, and vegetable protein concentrates Chef Rasmussen has spun an intricate web of interrelated recipes that is both far reaching in its scope and yet self contained. Whether you're a novice or professional chef, this book has something in it for you. In a rapidly growing market for vegetarian products and information, the 'Veggie Works Vegan Cookbook' is a well spring of knowledge.
