Synopsis
All the recipes in The Model Vegan are from scratch. There are no exotic ingredients like liquid smoke or processed foods like mock chicken, better than beef or even cheese substitutes like nutritional yeast. Dushenka has a unique perspective on vegan food in that she was raised vegan. She's not trying to create vegan versions of chicken fried waffles, or coq-au-vin. She helps people approach veganism from the perspective of making FOOD, not, what do I do to replace all the meat I'm accustomed to eating with vegan versions of the same. The Model Vegan is the essence of what vegan cooking should be: Making yummy nourishing food that just so happens to be vegan and is also pretty easy to make gluten free. The Model Vegan is a guide to maintaining a healthy lifestyle through eating an organic plant based diet with healthy delicious meals. Dushenka wrote this book after having had some food challenges that in the moment were horrifying and frustrating. The very challenges that in the moment caused her to feel like her life was over, inspired an explorations of new cuisines and new ways of cooking that create joy, vitality and health, and ultimately resulted in this book.
