Most people do not realize that their everyday environment is filled with delicious, organic, healthy sources of food. The Wild Vegan Cookbook will teach you how to take advantage, sustainably and safely, of the many wild plants that thrive in local parks, woodlands, fields, and other open spaces, as well as use the natural foods available in supermarkets and at farmers’ markets.
If you’re ever faced with cooking a meal for both vegetarians and meat-eaters, you’ll want this unique cookbook on hand. Coauthors and friends A.J. Rathbun (a vegetarian) and Jeremy Holt (a meat-eater) combine their culinary talents to create meals that satisfy vegetarians and omnivores alike. Preparing the 100 recipes is easy: Each starts by using ingredients that both meat-eaters and vegetarians would eat, and continues on like any normal recipe, until it gets to the part where a meat ingredient is added. At that point, the recipe splits into two parts—one half is finished with meat and the other with unique vegetarian flair. This efficient way of cooking satisfies everyone, saves time, and is very economical!

Do opposites really attract? In the case of salty and sweet, you bet they do! Like peanut butter and jelly—itself a classic salty-sweet duo—these tastes were made for each other. Salt helps balance and heighten sweets, transforming ordinary cookies, cakes, and candies into truly special confections. It brings out the complexities of chocolate, highlights the subtleties of fruit, makes nuts really pop, and turns caramel and butterscotch into pure ambrosia. The salty-sweet combination has swept the nation, with chefs, candy makers, and retailers all offering tantalizing sweets complemented with salt.
