The Angelica Home Kitchen: recipes and rabble rousings from an organic vegan restaurant
For over 25 years, New York City's Angelica Kitchen has been widely regarded as the epicenter of the vegan universe. Located on a cozy, tree-lined street in the East Village, Angelica Kitchen offers a multitude of innovative dishes using only the finest organic ingredients delivered daily from local purveyors. In The Angelica Home Kitchen, owner Leslie McEachern shares more than 100 of her favorite recipes as well as a wealth of information on supporting local, sustainable, self-employed farmers and producers.
Recipes for familiar favorites such as Sea Ceasar Salad, Asian Root Vegetable Stew (Oden), Mocha Cheesecake with Chocolate Brownie Crust, and the famed Dragon Bowl have been carefully re-worked for the home cook, making The Angelica Home Kitchen a must-have for creating delightful vegan dishes at home. And the practical "lay flat" binding makes this cookbook ideal for the home kitchen because the chef will never lose her place.
The Angelica Home Kitchen is packed with more than tasty, healthy dishes. Leslie McEachern has been an outspoken advocate for the sustainable agriculture movement for over 25 years and is dedicated to running a socially conscious business.

to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
