The Lusty Vegan
A Cookbook and Relationship Manifesto for Vegans and the People Who Love Them
CHEF AYINDÉ HOWELL AND ZOË EISENBERG
This unique cookbook pairs fabulous recipes with relationship advice to help you win at inter-palate partnering. Here you’ll find personal stories and tips for peaceful co-existence when one partner wants a cheeseburger and the other wants a tempeh slider.
Nationally known chef Ayinde Howell has crafted 80 delicious recipes that both vegans and omnivores can enjoy together, including:
- Classic Cloud-Nine Pancakes
- Tuscan 12-Vegetable Soup with Savory Biscuits
- Habanero Jackfruit Fajitas
- Crispy Spring Rolls
- Cherry Cobbler with Cacao Nibs
Ayinde and Zoe are longtime vegans, but they have something else in common: neither has ever dated another vegan. After comparing notes, they realized the need for a manifesto to help vegans and omnivores navigate their cross-cuisine love life. The book shares tips—both culinary and romantic—for vegans who want to satisfy the appetites of their omnivorous counterpart, and for non-vegans who want to impress their plant-based partners.
The authors’ personal experiences and advice on matters romantic and sexual can be irreverent, but always on the mark for people needing relationship solutions, both romantic and culinary. Loaded with humorous anecdotes and seductive full-color food photographs, The Lusty Vegan provides delicious recipes and lots of fun along the way.
