Fake Meat! Real Food for Vegan Appetites
If lab-grown meats sound a bit too Frankenstein, know that we don’t have enough land in England for everyone to eat free-range. So if you don’t want factory farming, everyone needs to eat less meat and more plants!
Fake Meat is a book by one of the world’s best-selling vegan cookbook authors. Here she shows you how to create ‘fake meat’ with real ingredients!
Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets (many ingredients are unsafe near animal friends). Bin allium scraps (onion, garlic, leeks, shallots, chives) as acids may harm compost creatures (same with tomato/citrus/rhubarb scraps).
This fun book unashamedly shows people how to cook ‘fake meat’ along with her signature funny commentary (she’s Jewish, so think along the lines of Joan Rivers writing a vegan cookbook).
Recipes include:
- Vegan Charcuterie
- Quiche Lorrain’t!
- Vegan Broths
- Smoked Beet Cuban Sandwiches
- Buttermylk Fried Chick’n
- Tempeh Meatballs
- Seitan Stroganoff
- Hot Pastramia Sandwiches
- Vegan Hot Dogs
- Buffalo Wings
- Vegan Chicken Drumsticks
About the Author
Isa Chandra Moskowitz grew up in New York City, and learned to cook, while volunteering for Food Not Bombs, which serves up free food to local people, from donated leftovers in shops and restaurants. This led to a cable TV show from her tiny kitchen, which led to a cookbook deal.
The cookbook went viral, leading to many more publications. Today Isa remains a best-selling author, and has used proceeds to fund the opening of a Brooklyn vegan catering company
