Oprah's Favorite Vegan Cookbook

I'm probably the last person in the country to find this out, but just in case not, The Conscious Cook: Delicious Meatless Recipes That Will Change the Way You Eat by Tal Ronnen is Oprah Winfrey's favorite vegan cookbook. She announced that on her annual Favorite Things show.

What was that? The show hasn't appeared yet? But we already know what her favorite things are? Oprah truly is magic!

Product Description
A former steak lover himself, Chef Tal struggled for years on a vegan diet that left him hungry and filled with cravings for butter and meat. By applying traditional French culinary techniques to meatless cuisine, he found that he could gratify his cravings for rich flavor and fat.

The Conscious Cook shows readers that avoiding the health risks and ethical dilemmas of eating meat and dairy does not mean sacrificing taste and appetite. This is not a cookbook of sprouts and tofu burgers, but of mouth-watering, hearty meals that keep the protein at the center of your plate. Featuring 75 original recipes that will satisfy the fussiest foodies and the most dedicated of carnivores, The Conscious Cook is a breakthrough in meatless cuisine that will revolutionize the way readers experience food.
