Two Dollar Radio Guide to Vegan Cooking: The Yellow Edition

Book excerpt: The Two Dollar Radio Guide to Vegan Cooking series is a distinctively imaginative spin on cookbooks that combine equal parts vegan-cheffing prowess, humorous stories of adventure and mystery, and punk rock. Imagine Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain, but focused on hyping vegan food, crossed with Scooby Doo. Two Dollar Radio Headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, has become a vegan comfort food mecca thanks to celebrity chefs Jean-Claude van Randy and Speed Dog (with constructive criticism from Eric Obenauf). In this Two Dollar Radio Guide to Vegan Cooking: The Yellow Edition, the executive vegan chefs unearth a fount of vegan-cheffing knowledge. In addition to exquisite recipes and vegan life hacks, they—like every long-winded blogger whose recipe posts you've had to extensively scroll through—view food as a story: nary a meal is prepared without recalling an epic adventure, such as when Speed Dog summited Old Goat Mountain in Banff, armed with nothing more than a sack full of cherry Ring Pops and a wily pack burro. We are all explorers, vegan food explorers. Join us on this culinary journey—crafting delectable recipes and solving mysteries—as we slay Vegan Hunger Demons. This Guide to Vegan Cooking is for you if: * You’re looking for satisfying comfort food; * You’re interested in a vegan diet but are having trouble giving up cheese; * You’re (vegan) fishing for accessible recipes that don’t require hard-to-find ingredients you can’t pronounce; * You crave ADVENTURE.
