"To see the five French Mother Sauces adapted for vegan cuisine opens a NEW culinary chapter that would delight my great-grandfather ."

--- Michel Escoffier

As a veteran Executive Chef, IKA Culinary Olympic Gold Medalist I realize the challenges to putting superb vegan cuisine on America's table in an affordable manner and wrote this book t address those challenges. This book offers a new classical vegetarian cuisine focused on ancient, traditional, and modern vegan proteins, plant-based ingredients, and special cooking techniques. With more than 400 recipes and 1200 variations, this cookbook addresses vegetarian proteins (Seitan, Tofu, Tempeh, beans, and meat-style proteins), classical modern American pastries, many gluten-free choices, limitless center of the plate and classical sauce options, complementary salads and sides, and elegant non-dairy desserts.
As culinary educator I wrote the book in a format to walk the reader through the cuisine into the recipes. It explores the history of vegetarianism, different types of vegetarian diets, vegan protein nutrition, ingredients, techniques, and an extensive array of recipes. The book addresses different vegan protein sources, ingredients used in vegan cooking today, plus modern and ancient ways to create and prepare entrées and pastries. The book adapts classic recipes including Cacciatore, Coq Au Vin, Fricassee, pâtés, and duxelles, offers wood smoking options and more, and translates the five French Mother Sauces into vegan cuisine with an array of variations. With more than 100 desserts, the book presents non-dairy pastry creams, ice cream made in a blender, and introduces the chemistry of vegan pastries.
;This book elevates vegetarian food from everyday fare to simple sophistication already in demand by today's consumers. With health as a driver and a vocal audience supporting culinary change,

The Classical Vegetarian Cookbook for Professional Chefs and Inspired Cooks
