Description

Believe it or not, Japanese cuisine in general is actually quite vegan-friendly, and many dishes can be made vegan with just a simple substitution or two. You can enjoy the same big, bold, salty-sweet-spicy-rich-umami recipes of modern Japanese soul food without so much as glancing down the meat and dairy aisles. And best of all, its super-easy to make!

In Vegan Japaneasy, Tim Anderson taps into Japans rich culture of cookery thats already vegan or very nearly vegan, so there are no sad substitutes and zero shortcomings on taste. From classics like Vegetable Tempura, Onigiri, Mushroom Gyoza and Agedashi Tofu, to clever vegan conversions including Cauliflower Katsu Curry, French Onion Ramen and Mapo Tofu with Ancient Grains, you dont need to be vegan to enjoy this tasty recipes. Add to that some outrageously good drinks and desserts, like the Watermelon Mojito and Soy Sauce Butterscotch Brownies, and youll be spoilt for choice!

With ingredients like tangy miso, savoury shiitake mushrooms and zingy ponzu, to name a few, who needs meat So if youre new to veganism, new to Japanese cooking, new to both, or you just want to expand your meat-free repertoire, this is the book for you!

Reviews

It is, quite apart from being a ravishingly beautiful book, full of recipes that make even this meat eater hungry and happy. Its also something of a primer on flavour, pointing the home cook towards one taste sensation after another. * Nigella Lawson - Nigella.com *
