The Buddhist Chef: 100 Simple, Feel-Good Vegan Recipes: A Cookbook

100 simply delicious vegan recipes–good for the planet, and for you–from the chef and blogger behind The Buddhist Chef.

A practicing Buddhist for over two decades, Jean-Philippe Cyr, aka The Buddhist Chef, believes that everyone has the power to make their vision of the world a reality–and that the most impactful way to do that is through the food we choose to make, eat, and share. This realization led him to veganism, which transformed his life and health. In this cookbook, he shares how to make classic dishes vegan, easy, and so delicious and show-stopping that everyone–even the pickiest of eaters–will love them.
