Vegan cooking has been exploding in popularity over the past decade. Once limited to a small number of zealous adherents, veganism has become steadily more mainstream. David Stowell and George Black's Veganopolis Cafeteria restaurant developed a huge international following for its delicious, no-nonsense, versatile vegan cooking. Now, they've captured their most popular Veganopolis recipes in their new cookbook, featuring the breadth of delicious, versatile, and accessible recipes that popularized their restaurant. This is not ground-level vegan cooking. Though there are plenty of simpler recipes for kitchen novices -- including lots of soups, sandwiches, and salads -- it also offers lots of more ambitious recipes. The Veganopolis Cookbook is an important addition to the home-chef's bookshelf and every bookstore's vegan cooking section.
