The Buddhist Chef is back with a collection of 75+ rustic, flavorful vegan recipes perfect for sharing with all your family and friends.

Full of traditional, crowd-pleasing recipes, veganized and packed full of flavor, The Buddhist Chef's Homestyle Cooking is a warm-hearted, comforting collection of recipes. The recipes are inspired by the two universal themes at the heart of every great meal—flavor and enjoying it with those you love—and are brought together with a dash of The Buddhist Chef's signature sense of humor. 

As with The Buddhist Chef’s previous books—The Buddhist Chef and The Buddhist Chef’s Vegan Comfort Cooking—this is a book you will turn to again and again for reliable recipes that always wow with taste and texture and show just how simple putting together a great meal can be. The Buddhist Chef’s Homestyle Cooking includes recipes for:

• Comforting favorites for gathering around the table: Vegan Tuscan Soup, Macaroni Salad with Jalapeño-Marinated Tofu, Vegan Fried Chicken, Shawarma Tofu Wraps, and Ratatouille Lasagna with Almond Ricotta.

• A whole new world of vegan snacking: Veggie Pâté, Zucchini Fritters with Tzatziki, Buffalo Cauliflower, and Bruschetta Portobellos.
• The joy of vegan baking: Chocolate Mug Cake, Flaky Apple Tart, or a Trio of Vegan Cupcakes.
