"Tal Ronnen's food is terrific. Delicious, nourishing, and plant-based, it can change your whole approach to eating healthy." --President Bill Clinton "Tal Ronnen is a magician--every time I eat his food, I find myself wanting more and more, and I never miss the butter or bacon fat." --Michael Voltaggio, chef and owner, ink. "Tal Ronnen understands the value of great-tasting, nutritious plant-based dishes in today's world." --Sir Paul McCartney "Tal Ronnen is a plant-based food whisperer, and now with this book, he and Scot Jones allow us to understand the message. In a world where it's becoming more and more unrealistic to raise animals for food, it's time to listen to what the plants are telling us and cook some of these awesome creations." --Roy Choi, chef and author of L.A. Son "Chefs Tal Ronnen and Scot Jones are artists of the highest order." --Jay-Z , "A new approach to vegan cooking." --Publishers Weekly , Top 10 Cooking & Food Books for Fall 2015 "In his second vegan cookbook (after The Conscious Cook ), Crossroads founder and chef Ronnen tackles such issues as sustainabilty, health, and taste. With so many ways to approach plant-based food, the theme of Mediterranean flavor is employed to tie together all of the recipes packed into these pages. This book wonderfully includes all types of recipes, from quick snacks to full meals. The varieties of preparations and flavors include pistachio-kalamata tapenade in the spreads section, charred okra flatbread with sweet corn puree and cherry tomatoes, a small-plate dish consisting of fig caponata with polenta fries, and oat Florentine cookies with mocha chocolate. There is also a small section on pantry staples, such as almond-based Greek yogurt and demi-glace, that go well with nearly any vegetable." --Publishers Weekly , starred review "Tal Ronnen's food is terrific.

It's just great." --Jay-Z
