One of the great dilemmas of embracing a Vegan lifestyle is what to feed company when you're entertaining. The chefs of Candle Cafe' have eliminated the guesswork and have provided recipes even picky guests will enjoy.
The photos look delicious. The ingredients are healthy. The chefs are known for their Vegan recipes that impress New York patrons throughout the year. Thus, this book is a must-have for every Vegan entertainer.
I stopped counting at 20. That was the number of sticky notes I'd placed between the pages of this book before I stopped keeping track of what recipes I wanted to try. With every major U.S. holiday included, even Super Bowl and Chinese New Year, there are several recipes I will be cooking before the appropriate holiday arrives.
Grilled bok choy with sesame-ginger sauce; lemongrass-infused celeriac soup with matzo balls; flourless chocolate cake with macaroon crust; chickpea crepes with berries and vanilla-lavender cream; crispy black bean tacos; baked maple pinto beans; roasted squash soup with almond cream and spice pumpkin seeds; snowball cookies; and pecan pie with cinnamon ice cream...this is just a sample of the delicious recipes you'll find among the pages. There are also multiple cocktail options for each occasion.
Ten different holidays are represented and between them all they cover game day foods, Chinese, Mexican, Kosher, summer grilling and traditional holiday comfort foods. Even if you're not entertaining a crowd, there are enough options here to use for family dinners throughout the week too.
Last year I scanned recipes for hours on Pinterest to find healthy, vegan options for our Thanksgiving dinner. Not so this year, the chefs of Candle Cafe' have already taken the guesswork out of my preparation. Instead of my Kindle propped up on the counter, this year, you'll find this wonderful recipe book in its place.
