great-chefs-cook-vegan-coverLooking for a fancy-pants vegan recipe to whip-up for your next dinner part or romantic dinner with that special meatless honey?  No?  Maybe you should be!  Whether you’re a dedicated vegan or not, there’s little doubt that eating down the old food chain is one of the greenest choices you can make, and with Great Chefs Cook Vegan by Linda Long, you’ll certainly not lack for vegan inspiration around the kitchen.

The skill and experience gained through Long’s many years of writing and photographing for vegetarian and vegan cooking magazines are on full display throughout this great cookbook.  Not only does she gain access to 25 of the world’s great chefs, but her photographs and the book’s layout are exquisite.

For sure, these aren’t your basic ‘toss it in the wok’ vegan recipes, so you’ll need some basic skills to execute the recipes, but for overall inspiration you can’t do any better.  And if you’re not a budding Todd English, you can always plant Great Chefs Cook Vegan on your coffee table as an idea book for your friends and relatives, or just buy a copy as a gift – so maybe you’ll be the one getting invited to the sweet vegan dinner party.
