Vegans have often been misunderstood or treated with suspicion
because of their beliefs. Now, this strict form of vegetarianism
is attracting thousands of new adherents both young and old and
it has now become socially accepted as more people learn the health
risks of eating too much meat and the benefits both to themselves
and the planet of a plant-based diet.
Vegan with a Vengenace is a vegan cookbook for the 21st century.
It is the creation of Isa Chandra Moskowitz, co-host of the hugely
successful TV vegan cookery show in the US called The Post Punk
Kitchen which has also a very popular allied website, www.theppk.com.
Isa's cooking philosophy embraces being kind to animals (all
recipes are completely animal-product free) and your wallet -
which being creative and having fun in the process. She emphasises
fresh ingredients and says that, like good music, cooking is best
when it's innovative and experimental. Her ispired recipes - covering
all the meals for the day and influenced by dishes from around
the worl include: Asparagus and Sun-dried Tomato Frittata, Sweet
Potato Hash with Five-Spice and Watercress, White Bean and Roasted
Garlic Soup, Fresh Mango Summer Rolls, Ginger Roasted Winter Vegetables,
