BOOK HANDLE:
It’s not about replicating meat; it’s about moving vegetables from side dish to the center of the plate. In the space of a few years, we lost a combined one hundred pounds by focusing our diet on vegetables, grains, and fruit with the occasional over-the-topdinner (and usually a dessert, too!). Most of all, it’s about making delicious food that just happens to be vegetarian.
