Last year I was fortunate to have a job at Barnes and Noble selling books, and one area I'd frequent when Cindy our manager wasn't looking was the food section. There was one book that stood out above all others it was Chef Tal Ronnen's book The Conscious Cook. His book is devoted to eating meatless, zero animal by products, it is a vegan cookbook. I used to work along side some very talented young vegan chefs at Down To Earth when Lahaina had that shop. So I knew when looking at Chef Tal's recipes that it was excellent stuff, and for sure it was tasty.
Just reading about this man that devotes his time to instructing and giving talks on healthy cooking is inspirational on a worldwide stage, he's done cooking for big time celebrities, but for anyone that wants to cook vegan and get ideas for great presentations, I do suggest that you check out Tal on the web. talronnen.com awesome information.
If you've never tried a vegan diet before and thought it was just bland food, you are ultimately wrong, nothing could be further from the truth. There are all sorts of fantastic food items one can utilize for vegan cooking. One of Chef Tal's ingredient or product he uses is a vegan mayonnaise called Veganaise from Follow Your Heart, for a product that does not have any animal fats, Veganaise comes really close to real mayonnaise with zero cholesterol.
If there is one Celebrity Chef I'd like to meet it would be Tal Ronnen. A vegan diet can mitigate blood pressure and diabetes, and depending on what vegetables or fruits you ingest, it can actually put certain cancers into submission.
If you want to learn vegan cooking, check the local paper, hook up with vegans on Facebook and Twitter, check establishments like Whole Foods, Down To Earth Natural Foods, Manna Foods, Maui Culinaray Academy, for information you're bound to find some awesome people that can teach you how to make some vegan meals.
Some sauces that Tal makes from nuts and vegan creams is fantastic, you'd be surprised that using vegan meats can turn any carnivore to halting his or her meat eating ways.
Another product Tal uses often is the vegan meat protein from Gardein, call it mock meats made with vegetables, they have veggie beef tips, veggie turkey, veggie crispy chicken. Go to gardein.com for more info.
Good luck if you want to pursue vegan cooking or vegan eating, I swear it works, I went on a vegan diet several years ago for a couple months lost close to 30 big ones, and the BP went down! Try it, maybe not full time, but try it and work it into your life, no you don't need to give up meat all of sudden, but give it a go.
