The Omnivore’s Guide to Plant-Based Cooking
Mielle Chénier-Cowan Rose
Tens of thousands of people have put down their knives in favor of a vegan or vegetarian diet, for lower weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol. Many people got exactly what they were looking for, along with a few surprises, such as loss of bone density and dental issues. For all those who “overcorrected,” chef Mielle Chénier-Cowan Rose, who studied at Bauman College and has been a vegan chef and advocate for natural living for over 15 years, is the cook with the book. She has experienced much the same in her journey as a vegan chef raising her vegan child. This utterly unique cookbook offers over 100 easyto-make vegan recipes and many basic cooking techniques, as well as advanced options including pages of sage advice about food and nutrition, from her 20-year vegetarian diet to eating some animal-based foods. Veganish is necessary reading for anybody considering this lifestyle and a must for veggie families with children.
